How do we feel about tank damage right now?

[BarretOblivion]

Every advantage each tank has is a ‘small useless bonus’ in your case.
Literally every tank has similar enough tools in the other areas. WAR’s unique thing has the same value as all everyone else’s.
And while there may be plenty of tank swaps in this tier, WAR isn’t so drastically weaker that it actually matters.

No, not even. GNB has the highest personal dps and has the best OT skill because it has 0 requirements to use besides a short cooldown, making it an excellent OT with a weak MT capabilities. This can easily be ignored because all of the encounters they have just enough mitigation to get by. PLD is the best tank currently because it has more than enough mitigation on top of the requescat lining up for many points in each fight where tanks would normally have signifcant downtime. DRK/WAR have problems where they are so reliant on Delerium/IR that its a detriment if the fight itself makes those timings awkward. You might lose a few hits or you might in the end lose an IR if you get a bad roll on the dice on Titan. DRK also has many detriments of how LD works requiring a WHM. WAR meanwhile sure, it has great personal mitigation... but again you ignore this raid tier has many required tank swaps on tankbusters... which means you aren't going to be able to need to use that great personal mitigation when you are only taking 1 tankbuster before swapping. WAR would be shining with multiple tankbusters, but besides E2S there are none that one tank is going to take in succession. Its OT skill is only good for some self healing/healing on its MT but its mitigation help is crap compared to all other OT skills, which TBH is the most important thing an OT skill needs to be, extra mitigation help.

Maybe in Ultimate WAR will be great, but in this tier when you look at it WAR isn't made for this tier. Tank swapping hurts WAR, its designed to be a MT 100% of the time. When you aren't MTing as a WAR you are losing damage already as the weakest Tank currently making you fall even further behind other Tanks. Your self healing litteraly doesn't help if you aren't getting smacked by the boss and vengeance WARs best cooldown has damage tied to it... but you have to get hit to get that damage.
