Considering what to main

[Aurius]

Hello everyone! As my character stats show, I have a 60 war and 55 drk, and I'm unsure of what to main. I enjoy both classes, they're both a lot of fun to play and leveling both classes did not seem a chore. The reason I'm asking this, is because of gear, and time to perfect the class. I consider myself a good tank in all 3 tank roles, but there's no feasible efficient way to gear all 3 (eso, relic) I almost have enough eso for the weapon, and therefore need to pick.
So I guess I'm asking high ilvl tanks what they prefer playing, and why they prefer playing it. I'll have enough eso for a weapon next Tuesday ( after this week's cap I'll have 989 fml) so leveling drk to 60 by then will be easy. Thanks for your input!

I've always preferred Warrior because I like timing Inner Beast with enemy cleaves / tank busters. Since this game doesn't have any active blocking mechanics (like Tera or other action MMO's), Inner Beast is the closest I can get to that feeling. Also I like having finisher attacks—building stacks is fun!

I prefer war a bit because of the axe I guess... Axes just look OP.
I dreaded to level DRK because *everyone* levels it because its a "cool" tank and I feel like looking idiotic with one giant sword in my hands. Still was my second tank to 60 because I enjoy gameplay lol
I'd give the advice I always give... play both for two weeks side by side on level 60 ... then you know better what you prefer and what not.
I'll stick to my war but like with my healers I main sch but use the others for the lols In Dr EX and primals

go WAR simple, they are just perfect right now, and get RAID weapons for your DRK.

I know it's not in a good place right now but... I like PLD. I just really like the concept of a tough-as-nails, really hard to kill tank.

DRK, however, which you almost have to 60, is in a good place and I know some friends that really like it. On the flipside, WAR is guaranteed to be relevant even if the next raid is mostly physical damage. So if you enjoy WAR, it's probably the safest long term investment.

Whatever you have the most fun playing is what you should main.

WAR had my heart before Heavensward and with WAR and DRK at 60 it's still my fave, even though DRK is hella fun to play.

Why? Quite simply, versatility. WAR is the tank you want to see in every two-tank instance. I can main tank or off tank with ease. If there's a PLD or DRK I can go full Deliverance. It's just so fun fitting in three Fell Cleaves in that short window. The feeling of saving myself with a crit Equilibrium when the healers are hard pressed is pretty awesome. Managing stacks and weaving abilities in between combos makes sure I'm never bored.

DRK is fun and stylish, but the utility and just plain beastiness of the Warrior play is what keeps me maining it.

WAR since 2.0 because it was the most fun tank for me. Never had a real chance to switch to DRK, because my co tank was fed up with playing PLD by the end of ARR xD.

I mostly picked warrior because I like axes more than swords, but the stack mechanic turned out to be a lot of fun in practice. Proper inner beast timing is satisfying.

DRK has way more off globals though, I feel like I never stop mashing buttons as one. I got killed tunnel visioning my mana bar a couple times though.

Thanks for the responses, I was leaning war, but the eso weapon having parry is garbage.... I know drk has parry on some gear too. I wish I could get the ilvl 210 Gordian axe just a little bit easier than a4s.
