It's comparable to DRG and, to some extent, MNK. No. It's not exactly the same, but the difference is negligible. You're also ignoring the fact that Equilibrium doesn't only restore TP, so by using it for TP restore you're giving up a defensive cooldown.

It really isn't. Did you even play WAR in Turn 4 during 2.0/2.1?

Also, there is a limit to things you can say WAR is supposed to be better at by design, you also HAVE to accept some weakness. Which brings us back to my original post.
And what exactly is WAR better at that they need to be worse at? Don't say TP regen.

Pre-Heavensward interviews and Live Letters also said Heavensward would be a unique and exciting departure from what was previously in the game, and said that crafting/gathering would be more "casual friendly".

WAR has, by ability design, been the more damage focused tank since 2.0.

You do know A2/A2S exist, right?

I've never seen anything said by Yoshi to suggest this, nor is Yoshi a class designer. That should be evident by his "suggestions" on how to use Ley Lines during the anniversary Live Letter.

The evidence is how the class is designed. WAR has the strongest AoE enmity generation skill, and how Decimate is by design, which no other class has an equivalent, clearly caters them towards strong AoE DPS.
Despite all this, DRK is still only ~5% behind the WAR in encounters like A2S.

By the way, your WAR is only 52. You haven't even gotten Equilibrium yet alone used it in anything serious.
