Tank balance and what CBU3 wants to do with job balance

[Absurdity]

In terms of PLD and WAR, it seem to me that PLD is being taxed for its utility, but WAR isn't. So I don't really think they have any solid plan for balancing here.

I'm not even sure if PLD is being taxed for utility, I think it's just as likely that they don't have a clue what they're doing anymore.

It took them from 6.2 until now to get Warrior to a point where it isn't underperforming and they somehow managed to overshoot the goal this time, if that is anything to go by maybe Paladin will be in an okay spot by the end of this expansion.

but using the logging website as a means of measuring the effectiveness.

If they would've actually looked at FFLogs to determine balance changes then Gunbreaker would've seen no buffs, it was already beating Dark Knight in a majority of the fights last tier.

It always depends on what DPS metric you look at. DRK was the king of aDPS, second came GNB and then WAR and PLD.

From the current clears, which is pretty early in the tier, DRK is beaten by WAR and GNB in aDPS in 3/5 fights. In terms of rDPS, it is the lowest tank in all 5 fights. Possibility for change in the statistics by the end of the month as more people get BiS, but as of right now it looks like it's getting outclassed by almost every tank. Again, very early in the tier, this could change.
