After 1 (arguably 2) expansions what is square trying to achieve with WAR (and PLD)?

That's the main concern. It's simple yet strong. Think of the sweating gamer guy meme picture. That's how some of the tanks play. And then there's the gamer singing Payphone meme playing as WAR. Then for some reason, the WAR is doing more damage than the other tanks for less the effort. Unfair, isn't it?

Of course it sounds unfair. And I suppose it is, especially in higher end content! I personally, for the content I do, couldn't care less about damage. So long as I hold aggro and survive the W2W pulls even with a bad healer, it's all good. It doesn't matter to me if I do 10% more or 10% less damage really.
