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

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.

If a job is simple, powerful utility, high sustain, and high damage, people will flock to it, correct? Look at EW SMN. People switched to it because it's insultingly simple in its rotation. Is it well-designed? Of course, not.
