Don't get me wrong, WAR is very simple, but other tanks are even more so somehow.

Tank balance is fine though. They don't need buffs/nerfs - just some gameplay that's not coma-inducing and that's not just the jobs, but also overall tank mechanics this tier.

It's also untrue that WAR doesn't bring anything to current encounters, it might not be the best, but it's not worthless:
Shake is way better in e1s than Missionary and HoL, a bit better than Veil due to affecting the caster while taking autos after % based raidwides.
You shouldn't be losing IR FCs due to heads in e2s. It might require some practice, but maneuvering between them for uptime is easy enough.
In e4s Holmgang is the only invuln which can be used on the first Megalith(which is the most valuable to invuln due to the double TB right before it) after being used in phase 1 and will be back up for 2nd Megalith as well. Saying that first Stonecrusher is an issue is silly, considering it's already a dps gain to use Vengeance with IR for it. IR timings in e4s are indeed hella wack though.
Why would you need holmgang for megalith? Rampart + Job identity cooldown is plenty and you can use your 30% GCD on the shared TB because nothing else happens for tanks for almost 3 minutes. You don't need holmgang at all in E4S and actually its a detriment compared to all other invulns since healers have to make sure you are at full HP twice instead of just once on all other tanks.
