Is anyone surprised at this point?

If your burst window is bigger than everyone else, your combo potencies and baseline GCD values outside of burst should be smaller than everyone else. Anything else is a recipe for Heavensward or Stormblood era tank balance. You can't have it both ways.

A cursory look at 5.5 data shows Warrior only winning decisively on Fatebreaker. (For generous terms of 'winning' and 'decisively' because the difference is a crit swing.)

On full uptime like Doorboss, it's 3rd, on mixed uptime like Oracle it's near dead even with Gun/Paladin.

It looks like all that's needed is a 2% PPS boost for Dark Knight.

And an identity. Don't forget that.

Dead Man Walking seems pretty apt.

WAR isn't winning when you look at aDPS, which is a significant distinction when looking at tank damage balance.

Fair, but not surprising. When you can't really make good use of the crit buffs, it's to be expected.

Dead Man Walking seems pretty apt.

Having your identity on being able to kill yourself is as good as Dragoon killing themselves during jumps thanks to their old huge animation lock...

Might be fun for memes but wouldnt call that "identity"
