Alot of these opinions bank on that question and my reasoning behind that is there is no other content in this game that gauges job complexity besides raiding. If your a dungeon runner you will never understand the jobs complex roles period. I don\\'t care what anyone agrues to it each tank has a similar air rotation and you can easily mitgate dungeon Buster\\'s with just rampart. That\\'s how lamest terms dungeon running is. Now raiding (extremes and savage tiers) is how you truly judge the tanks. Right now from the balance discord and my experience DRK and GNB are 2 of the best tanks in raiding one for GNB DPS and 2 DRK TBN. DRK does more DPS then WAR in savage and works very well with raid party synergy like DNC and NIN and DRG. WAR is only good in one fight Leviathan because of nascent flash. Honesty this is my opinion people need to stop baseing job "complexity" of dungeon and get there butts in raid content.
Yes, I do Raid, thank you. And I do, do savage content. I don't solely base what I see on personal experience but through studying through every avenue that is presented. Currently, like I said. GNB & PAL are the most common parses and appear to do both the most damage and mitigate the most, that being Paladin. Though I misspoke about DRK a bit as they are parsing a bit more than Warriors. And again, I still feel like DRK is still a dumpster fire with TBN covering just how bad the kit works together.

Once you learn the "3000 MP" rule, it's hard to actually fail with DRK and if you do fail with DRK, SOMEHOW because how can you fuck up a 123 into an Inner Release and spam, back into 123 with the occasional weave of what's oGCD. What am I really managing? As long as I can maintain 3000 MP, which is fairly easy, their's nothing in the job. And the trade WITH TBN is still just meh. I would still much rather have a Paladin be my Co-Tank then a DRK.

And I doubt when I go into savage content and extreme content with my DRK, that my mind will be blown. It's, again, saving grace is TBN. But when ONE ability carries the ENTIRE kit. And a dull one at that. It needs a lot of work.
