I believe everyone is missing out on the biggest thing involved with this tank debacle.

It doesn't matter how good they buff WAR if it's being controlled by someone who can't use it to its full potential. A good PLD will always be superior to an average WAR much in the same way a good WAR will always be superior to an average PLD.

You can argue which job has greater potential, but it's only in the proper hands that either job shines.
