I don't know what are those people saying about "WAR is bad" etc. For me WAR as it is now is SOLID and more than playable. A WAY better than DRK and even better than PLD. And I've mained PLD and DRK for a while, mates, so that says something. The JOB now has godd mitigation options, bit weaker (than before) selfsustaining (I personaly think that Nascent Flash should be allowed to apply to yourslef only without the mitigation) and a LOT OF DAMAGE.gif for the tank role. So when anyone asking for buffs to the job it's either the man with a lot of BIAS towards the job or just blind.
My personal tank preferance for any instance now is: WAR>GNB>PLD>DRK.
