So while not "always", it's pretty damn well close to it.

I too like WAR and want it to be good and fun but we need to be honest with ourselves here and not let cognitive bias and our own selfish desires to have our preferred job be the best blind us.
I disagree. "Best" is subjective. In my opinion, PLD, by definition of a tank, is the best tank because PLD is the most complete tank.

WAR: More Mitigation, More DPS, More HP, Most Self Helf Options (General Selfish but more fun to play)
PLD: Stronger Mitigation, Stun on Demand, Party Support, Party Heal, DOT, PARTY COVER, Invincibility Button (Party Protection Focus).

Now if only they can tweak DRK, then I would say all tanks would be in a good place.
