What if we designed other Tank's abilities like they were made for WAR?

Tanks as they are now are so painfully similar that there isn't really reason for Dark knight to exist.

This is what I'm saying. Give jobs better gameplay loops and job fantasy, and balance concerns start to recede into the background.

I leveled DRK once on my free trial account, around patch 5.4 or so. If it had had fun core gameplay instead of just being 'Greatsword Warrior with forgettable oGCD spam', I might be playing it on this account too. Having worse mits and poorer aDPS at endgame did not even enter into the decision not to unlock it again. The job wasn't fun.

I wish I could go back and try the Heavensward DRK that people post about.

I'd prefer Warrior nerfs if anything because it should be taxed for it's kit like paladin still is, or it should lose the bells and whistles so that it's damage is warranted.

It should be the nerfs, because 'does the most DPS but has no real flavor or gameplay loop' isn't a valid job fantasy.
