Of course it would WAR has been OP since 3.0 and got even more OP in 4.0.
Ever since 2.5 they have been the favorite of SE to an insane degree.
Paladin spent all of 3.x as a second string placeholder and DRK has been useless the entirety of 4.x.
WAR was fine and got a complete overhaul including bring new skills while DRK is literally a detractor from every group they are in as PLD and WAR bring more DPS, utility. defense and sustainability.
WAR was OP and goa a whole rework DRK was broken and got shit.
DRK got one cooldown shortened and WAR got a entire rework.
WAR ends up even more OP as their burst DPS and AoE is INSANE now while drk's dps is .50-.60% higher.
War is clearly played by half the dev team and whoever was playing DRK in 3.x rerolled warrior for 4.x.
My biggest complaint of this game is the absurd imbalance. It is obvious to EVERYONE that DRK SAM and BLM are outcasts who bring nothing to a group be SE just ignores it and tweaks classes that are fine..
