Lets nerf WAR :D

[eagledorf]

Incidentally, to respond to the actual title of this thread:

I wouldn't like to see WAR "nerfed" directly, but I do want to see some reworking of the job to become more in line with the other tanks. Right now WAR is largely superior as an OT and due to the fact that they benefit from using their defensive buffs for DPS and do not benefit from tanking very much (the reflect from Vengeance being the only thing), they've basically become a glorified DPS that only tanks if they have to.

I think it would be a healthy thing to reduce the potency on Fell Cleave and move it elsewhere. Making Fell Cleave and Inner Beast closer in potency would encourage the stance-dance-to-mitigate play that SE says they imagined instead of the avoid-Defiance-like-cancer play we have now.

Right now WAR in terms of DPS has:

The highest OT DPS in vacuum
The lowest potency gain for tanking period
Unlimited TP

It would be good to adjust it not so much because OMG WAR OP, but because this tends to force the other tank into the MT role and WAR into the OT role. It would also be good if WAR had resource management, but I think we're more likely to see the other two tanks get more and more TP buffs gradually until none of the tanks ever run out of TP.
