I wouldn't say that HW WAR was the peak, but I understand why they would say that. For one, that was when WAR was perhaps the highest in terms of relative DPS. A good WAR was always on the NIN's ass in terms of damage. Berserk was definitely an incredibly satisfying buff to use, and there's two reasons for that: it was a 50% increase in power, and there was no split in crits and direct crits-- if you managed to crit a fell cleave at all during berserk, it was always incredible no matter what. WAR also had notably better self-healing prowess thanks to bloodbath. There was a reason people joked that WAR was all three roles rolled up in one back in HW.

Though, I think if you were to compare current WAR and HW WAR, without factoring in things like relative DPS, then I'd be inclined to say many would prefer current WAR's feel and flow of play.
