I can agree with you that the new changes are homogenizing the tanks. I would've much rather see Parry become useful or change the healing mechanics to scale with incoming damage.

But then again I'm also just happy to see changes that will benefit us despite that the mechanic is stolen from what PLD's already have.

On the other hand I notice you're very pro DPS. I understand where this is coming from, it is also one of the reasons I was attracted to WAR. However, if you go about giving us too much DPS we would become the preferred tank by a large margin.

Alas, I dont expect SE to go out of their way to make another WAR change. We'll have to be happy with the fact we 're more viable now and close the subject. Their focus will lie on other classes and balancing PVP after this upcoming patch

To be honest I'm looking forward to what the Next tank in this game will have, I hope they give a well thought out attempt to use different mechanics.
