Thread: Lets nerf WAR :D

Half of your points maybe, all of your points, there would be no reason to bring war, pld/drk would be the new standard.

Yeah definitely not all eight. But 3-5 would be healthy, I think. Disclaimer edited in.

WAR is honestly so good and so perfectly rounded and flawless that any buffs to either PLD or DRK to make them competitive with it will inevitably lead to the oh-so-scary "homogenization" that many people in here seem to use as an excuse for why the other tanks need to be inferior forever. Nerfing WAR is, frankly, a fair possibility in terms of helping make the tank meta more balanced, considering that the class is hideously broken and PLD/DRK comps are straight out a joke in this current raid tier. The only reason people don't advocate for it much is because the devs prefer to buff rather than nerf, and because, well, the idea they should be nerfed does make WAR mains pretty angry, lol.

This is why I outlined the nerfs as I did. No nerf that straight-up gets rid of a buff or a mechanic, just slight adjustments. I feel like with just and a handful of these, WAR would still have top OT DPS, and be on more or less equal footing with mitigation. Path is still awesome, as always. But at least WAR wouldn't be a complete and total necessity.

No? Quit crying for (bad) buffs to DRK then.

Why? WAR feels like it's in a really good place. Shouldn't the ideal be to bring PLD and DRK up to that level?
