Warriors theme is so bloody dumb atm. No one would ever think WAR is a warrior from the outside in this game.
The greater consistency has been DRK spending HP. Actually stealing it (or, being healed through attacks) has tended to be reliant on long CDs or been a pretty poor use of your MP (and one's turn in general) whenever an actual healer is available.

Personally, I don't mind XIV not leaving WAR as literally just "Temporarily Increase Defense", "Temporarily Increase Crit rate", "Temporarily Increase Accuracy", etc. It sold the job as the attrition frontliner who lives or dies by the blade / 'the best defense is an overwhelming offense', and it feels pretty damn "Warrior"-like. ...Certainly more so than just a few blasé stat-increasing CDs and/or being limited to Bangaa with a damn near universal set of debuffs (Rend Power/Magick/MP/Speed, as seen on a majority of physical jobs), First Aid, and "Greased Lightning" of all things, as in Tactics.
