Lets nerf WAR :D

[MeeYow]

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?



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.

Possibly DRG, serious MNKs use forbidden chakra. The cure provided by tank Eq is a very small price so I left it out, but yes it is there.

You might want to look up what temporary insanity is before you talk about A2, I will do the work for you, it is the buggy move that stuns all the mob packs - preventing them from triggering blood price. Do you raid savage?

For the Third time: what about PLD? Not a word. At least say you think that is how it is supposed to be.

Current eventuality is not explicit evidence of intent. Let me clarify: Explicit statements by SE please. With regards to not seeing discussion of DRK, summaries are available on these forums.

Single and AoE DPS have always been two different games, that doesnt require too much discussing, SMN does all the talking for that right now.) WAR was always a good single target job, AoE it was OK, better than PLD but now it has run away with itself.

Yes it is a shame my WAR is 52 and currently my DRK is only full level On an alt account, why I put career omnirtanker rather than current, but I static with one and understand it very well through constant discussion with them. How is your PLD, do you tank with one? Is it safe to assume you understand the other side of the argument right now?

Good argument though, you have no idea how often I XIVPads peoples characters while they are ranting about how X is fine and find they are missing half their cross class abilities. Sadly I see you don't have PLD either which is the real hot potato.

Also I was in one of the first 5-10 groups in the world through T1-4 (don't know exactly because people formally didn't keep track as much) with Legacy, clearing it on BLM WAR PLD and BRD in consecutive weeks, special place in my heart that turn, dropped because I began a PhD which was a big RL time sink and transferred to EU when server changes were promised. Hence he current job spread, how early did you do it? (That derail BTW)
