The difference is WAR is designed to stance dance more than DRK. Its reflected in the way the stances work. WAR takes a -25% to dmg to be in Defiance and loses its highest potency move meaning they want to get out of it and back into Deliverance ASAP. DRK on the other hand, sits at -8% to dmg while in Grit and still has access to all of its highest potency moves. What that means is WAR is going to have to stance dance more to get its avg % of out going damage higher. For example a WAR and a DRK that spends half the fight in tank stance and half the fight not - WAR (.75+1.05)/2= .9 DRK (.92+1.15)/2=1.035 WAR is going to want to spend more spend more time out of Defiance if possible to not have its outgoing damage hampered.
