5.0 WAR is a disappointment

[Lucy_Pyre]

WAR has better mitigation than DRK generaly due to raw being a 15% free mitigation compared to TBN which has a cost and Dark Mind is only taken into account during magical fights.
WAR does deal more damage than DRK without any party buffs, this is a known fact and DRK only jumps above WAR when there is Battle Litany/Battle Voice because WAR gets no benifit from those two buffs.

Did you forget 2nd uplift? If you are a WAR that is placed on the S team you can get seriously cucked with being forced to delay your IR due to not being able to hit the boss. How do I know? I played it on DRK and have been cucked on Delirum (same cooldown). "Well make sure the WAR is on the N team". Lets be real, in PUG groups there is no priority on Tank locations and generally speaking unless you have a PLD who is willing to go in the back, you are cucking one tank over not being on the N team.

Finally, yes 3k behind the 2nd lowest clear rate tank is VAST because whats the percentage of that? Roughly 77% rounded up. Look at it between the first and 2nd that percentage increases. That's a fairly significant difference between all the other of tanks.
Now Alex Ult is a case where of course you are going to bring in a DRK over a WAR or even GNB, due to 2 reasons.

1) Dark Mind is useful in there.
2)Living Liquid and BJ/CC phases DRK can pad the crap out of their numbers due to having the best AoE padding of all the tanks. It gains blood and it gains MP faster with AoE rotation meaning more Bloodspillers and more Flood/Edge.

Dark Mind is useful in the current savage tier as well. Tank lasers and buster preys are magical, Shadowflame is magical, pretty sure Black Smokers mini busters are magical, and the non-stack buster of Dual Earthen Fists is magical. All are busters that you mitigate, rather than invuln. Giving Dark Mind clear uses in every fight. Also, Delirum and Inner Release have the same cooldown but the points that they get used in the rotation is different. Dark Knight typically uses their first Delirium after the 5th GCD of the fight whereas Warrior uses the first Inner Release after the fourth GCD. This is a slight difference, yes, but as someone who has primarily played WAR in the current savage tier and has had very little IR issues in Titan, it very obviously make a difference. So as I said previously, the only time that IR is reliably cucked in Titan is getting car 2nd in phase 1. Otherwise it all lines up just fine.

Edit: Anyone trying to claim that any tank has better mitigation than DRK gets a 'lol' from me. TBN is so hilariously strong that you can't even try to make that claim.
