Famitsu Interview: Tuning encounters for healing

[Ultimatecalibur]

I wish that were the case. Warrior is simply significantly less complex than either Paladin or Gunbreaker, can't say much about Dark Knight since I tend to forget about it just as frequently as SE does. Those 500 dps and WAR's burst being on a 90 second timer are more likely the cause that it isn't very high on the tier list.

PLD and GNB both have fairly simple and stable base rotations on rough 60s timers. Their optimized rotations might be more complex with Atonement and Burst Strike shifting, but at their core they are similar in complexity to WAR and DRK's buff+Gauge management. The superior party synergy of the 60s rotations is a major factor in both GNB and PLD's slightly superior output, but none of the tanks are significantly more or less complex than any other tank.
