    Kinda funny how back in 1.0 when jobs introduced, ppl complained that PLD too weak and WAR overpowered, keep nagging to depowered that job.
    People said WAR was OP in 1.0 because it was the Preferred tank, but they fail to understand why. Here are some reasons:

    1. A good WAR used to do about roughly 50-60% dmg from a real DPS job so the extra DMG was preferable for dungeon speed runs and not a 3-5% dmg increase from PLD like it is now which IMO is an insult.
    2. Self Heals were GOOD and not shitty like they are now
    3. War had some Decent mitigation abilities like foresight/featherfoot(and others i just don't remember names right now) being way better than it is now.
    4. The DMG was Needed for the 15min? (it's been a while) dungeon runs for that extra chest for Darklight loot and the Relic Speed Run Dungeons which required like 13 min dungeon clears so WAR was clearly preferable.
    5. Enemy DMG wasn't high enough to warrant a PLD (except maybe SOME bosses)
    6. You could switch jobs inside Dungeons so for some fights I remember doing WAR x2 because of adds that could overwhelm the party so Steel Cyclone's AoE helped a lot along with black mages obviously(the princess tanked by 1 war and the knight antlion by another i think it was? been a while)
    7. PLD was always the mitigation king specially after 1.23 if i recall correctly
    8. VIT used to increase our autoattacks (which u did a lot back then since you used to build tp) and STR increased our WS DMG iirc
    9. PLD's increased their autoattacks by Mind i think it was (call me out if wrong) and they stacked Vit and some STR to help with threat so they did less dmg than War's
    10. We used to Parry more often! because of our abilities/traits (Give us Keen Flurry or something similar like before plz -.-)
