Reminder that war is still good.

Are they really? Because right now on fflogs WAR is the least played of all the tanks right now by about 20% at only 41k clears in current extreme fights while all other tanks are at least at 51k, yes even DRK

Even if that's true, I don't see how that means more players playing a specific tank equate to "best tanks", especially considering a new tank came out with the new expansion.

Because that's a massive drop off. Gee... maybe it has something to do with the fact WAR was by far the one job with the fewest new skills from 70-80 resulting in basically no changes to the job. Even DRK with all of its problems is being played more and yes, Paladin, the class that didn't change that drastically from SB is being played more.
The difference between PLD/DRK to GNB in clears is only about 3k less.
WAR? Is down 13k in clears. I personally can say no one is playing WAR, even our static other raid teams all have dropped WAR to either DRK or Gunbreaker because its just not a good tank anymore. Statistically speaking its actually the lowest damaging tank now. If you get past the clunkiness of DRK, it out damages WAR quite a bit, but its fairly easy to screw up resulting in its "average" on fflogs being lower than WAR. However, again, Paladin/Gunbreaker are very much ahead of the other tanks in both utility and damage.
Not only that but in both primals WAR is no where to be seen in the top clears of either of the fights. You see the occassional DRK but its completely all PLD/GNB.

Don't worry.

Warrior will get buffed through the roof for the savage patch.

Really I would just like them to give them another skill. Just 1 at 70+ because you are playing the exact same WAR as SB minus stance dancing.

There was a job satisfaction survey shortly after the xpac launched, Japan side, and that also put warriors as the tank that people are least satisfied with. That doesn't necessarily indicate they are bad balance wise, but clearly people are dissatisfied with warrior's current state.

(red is like, pink is somewhat like, yellow is neutral, light blue is somewhat dislike, blue is dislike) New jobs aren't include because it's asking for satisfaction with the changes that were made.

The survey is not conducted by JP gamers, but by "western" gamers (海​外 = overseas, abroad), which was probably translated into JP, seeing the the original source is on reddit. Jut mentioning it if the JP point of view should have been important.

Oh, my misunderstanding. The JP point of view wasn't of any importance. I was just including what I thought was the source for transparency's sake (though I was wrong lol).
Thanks for the correction.
