I don't think anyone would deny this. PLD blocking magic damage killed DRK, well before Shake it Off change was even implemented. SiO was just the final nail in DRK's coffin.

Though, I hear WAR isn't particular great in 12s, doesn't have the Holmgang advantage or something like that. Between that and killing our 405 weapon with skill speed it does feel like a sort of ninja nerf. Not complaining, just pointing out that it doesn't take direct nerfs or buffs all the time. Balance the content better so there isn't as many clear-cut advantages by running a certain comp. It's kind of a step in the right direction.
