I picked up War again recently to give it another chance after abandoning it on launch because tanking had become dull. I'm baffled anyone can think it's in a good spot. As far as I can see, the already easiest tank in the game gained nothing new from 70-80 besides Nascent Flash and what amount to Infuriate Traits.

It's a viable tank, no mistake. Damage is enough for savage and the mitigation is fine. Holm is a bit mediocre but the new Raw Intuition is nice. But as was said many times with DRK in SB (and probably now), viable doesn't mean fun.

War just doesn't excel at anything meaningful that would make you want to pick up the class. You have those juicy IR cleaves that still result in the lowest dps. You have less utility than Pala and your mitigation isn't that special.
It's sort of like the Fisher Price "Baby's First Tank" right now. Something easy for people who don't really main tank to have as a back up role. Which is sad.
