    No, what makes WAR great at mitigation is the fact that they are a WAR. Like I said earlier, WAR has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to mitigation and that is the reason why we do not need to dig deep enough in our toolkit that Unchained becomes relevant. So, IB or no IB, WAR is more than adequately equipped for all the current content in this game. As a raiding WAR, I never use IB. But, because you are just running your mouth on topics you don't understand, of course you wouldn't know this.

    Between Holmgang having a 180s recast (as opposed to the 300s recast of LD and the 420s recast of HG) and Vengeance / Thrill having a 120s recast (as opposed to the 180s recasts of Shadow Wall and Sentinel), WAR has a very easy time with mitigation. The only time where they don't have adequate mitigation without IB is in the hypothetical scenario where you are taking a magic tank buster that demands high mitigation on a <120s recast in a situation where you cannot tank swap. That situation will remain hypothetical because the PLD is even more hopeless given those conditions.

    What you fail to comprehend is that Unchained + Defiance exists in addition to a toolkit that is already over equipped for current damage intake.

    Rampart does not.

    And great, PLD does more damage than WAR over a very selective 20s window. If only you structured tank swaps in raid content in 20s intervals.
