    That said, I don't think it'll ever get a high pick rate in Ultimates. Its lack of damage reduction ends up being a huge hindrance, while its over-investment on Regen does not scale upward to high end content all that well. That and the Devs seem to design the game around Holmgang Cheese now.
    I feel as if tanks are in the right spot right now outside of ultimate which again Paladin does well because of AOE damage, pretty sure its slightly behind GNB/DRK for most forms of content which I think is healthy, warrior being lowest I'm fine with as I just really am against it's current design

    Warrior is in a spot where buffing its mit or damage would make it way too strong, while sustain tools are a weaker upside in higher end content having warrior on the same mitigation playing field as other tanks would make it too good from invul alone and the sustain would be a nice bonus, in that form of content.

    I'm not going to be surprised when it gets buffed in 7.2 but at the same time I really do not like it when warrior is the most strongest tank just due to how it's designed, I really doubt they will rework Warrior which is the thing, In fact they doubled down on it being a sustain monster with adding a regen to its 40%...

    Oh well in general I hope 8.0 makes tanks more interesting I doubt that though as Tanks and Healers are more of a afterthought compared to DPS with design.

    Turning No Mercy into a stack system? Oh hell no.
    Look at what it did to Warrior in Endwalker, decoupling Onslaught and Upheaval completely from your damage buff, giving you everything you need for free and with so much leeway that it becomes almost impossible to fuck up, turning the already basic gameplay into completely mindless spam.

    Because you can bet that the No Mercy stacks will only apply to GCDs, and while they're at it they'll probably just make it give you free Gnashing as well, completely invalidating any resource management during your filler phase and turning it into another "Press big sparkly cooldown to spam away"-job.

    All changes made to Gunbreaker in Dawntrail are already moving in that direction, reduction in resource cost, free 3000 potency just for pressing a single button every 2 minutes, basically just free damage guaranteed for your burst because god forbid someone might mess up their rotation and can't get that cheap dopamine hit during party buffs.

    Shouldn't happen unless:

    1.) Extreme spike in latency, my condolences if that is the case
    2.) You mistimed it and edged the activation a bit too much
    3.) You tried to invuln something that ignores invulns

    Living Dead is fine.

    Yeah some attacks pierce invulnerabilities. It's the same for the other tanks.
