IS WAR as hard as it seems?

[Blitzace]

So without all the long explanation. Being amazing as a war is complicated and harder than being amazing at the other two tank classes.

You made me lol.

XD sorry i don't get you but it make me lol too, i think being amazing is complicated, because to be amazing you need to be awesome and marvelous also.
with any job being so lovely should be complicated even if the job seem easy to begin with, because it's so hard to be amazing to the eyes of others .
But yes ! just be amazing !

Whatever helps you sleep at night, PLDs and DRKs.

\WAR is easy.

So are the other tanks.

...by design.

Easy and simple are two different things though.

Poking yourself in the eye is simple but that doesn't mean its easy for everyone.

PLDs have MP management?

And you could say the same thing about DRKs in relation to their MP management. Once you've learned the rotations it's fairly easy since your MP management is based on a priority rotation and not being a complete moron.

believe it or not yes in a way i've seen pld's burn through mp like their skills are going out of style because they don't know how to manage aggro and they start popping things like flash over and over the sec it's ready again

Tank can be judged as easy like a war, or simple, but
players have to think twice on what a tank can do ?

1) hold aggro, damage migitation : it's the basics

2) bring more dps when they can (it's not needed exept in savage raid atm, maybe some tank think it's a priority, i think the raid don't leave the choice )

3) get better on tank migitation, by a perfect knowledge of a fight pattern (A to Z, include auto attack and cleave, when you are not sitting on CD, you certainly brings CD timed with cleave, especialy inner beast/ Shiltron, or any pop fast CD)

4) make up for error, have a knowledge of the dps mechanics of a fight, sometimes you can't advoid a wipe, by replace the dps killed waiting for a rez (by exemple : a tank get an add under the bim in A1/A1S it's totaly possible if the beam is near enough to not get stacked by moving the boss), also when a heal die, a tank try and focus only to migitate damage the most they can afford and wait for a rez of the healer.

with all that point in mind a tank seem easy but can be complicated, this is why tank is fun to me.
It's not harder to do that with a war than a other tank, you just need to know your Job skills and have initiative for many of the possible situation.

PLD is a joke, WAR is a joke after you know how to play it. DRK requires management and skill... Most because its horridly designed.
