Reminder that war is still good.

WAR lost a whopping three abilities this expansion:
1) Skull Sunder
2) Butcher's Block
3) Unchained

None of these abilities matter anymore due to the enmity rework this expansion.

When you look at WAR's toolkit, WAR is the strongest that it's ever been. Raw Intuition is the new IB, except that it's no longer a dps loss (or stance dependent) to use. Holmgang no longer requires a target, but is still the shortest recast invuln. Equilibrium is more available than ever. Thrill of Battle has turned Convalescence into a WAR exclusive. Shake it Off laughs at Divine Veil. And you have a 900 potency Crit/Direct Hit attack to satisfy your desires for big numbers.

You haven't lost any abilities, really. Do you want to know what has changed, though? We systematically took away the things that made you mandatory. Slashing is gone. Limit break cheesing through Shake it Off is gone. Enmity generation and stances have been equalised across the board. Doing the highest dps for the least effort is gone (if you want that, there's GNB, a job which actually has a Final Fantasy series legacy to back it up).

It's no longer about the job. It's just about you. And it's not the job that has been found lacking.

As an aside (since you brought it up), I'm actually really happy with DRK. I had specific issues that I wanted to see addressed. There are a couple more things to sort out, but I'm generally happy with how everything has turned out. I think tanks are in the best place that they have been since the inception of the game, really. SE needs to start switching their focus to healers soon.

I think at the end of the day, everyone has gotten the job that they deserve. Poetic Justice deserves no less.

"Poetic justice." Get off your soapbox. How have wars wronged you to get you twisted like this? Lmao.

Oh and we lost inner beast btw. And buffs attached to stances. But okay. Ignore it and keep up your war hate because we all know you just hate wars for whatever petty reason and will ignore and spin facts to fit your agenda.
