WAR damage is lacking

[LordNickage]

I'm kind of a mid tier WAR. How the hell are people pulling those kinds of numbers? I can maintain a rotation and do a triple FC Berserk opener on WAR but my burst is around 1800 and steadily falls through the fight.
Granted I use Eye/Path since we don't have a ninja so that I lose a little dps for added utility.
Still... 3.3k? That's unfathomable to me.

Back on subject, I feel WAR damage and utility are in a good spot. I'd like to see adjustments to PLD and DRK, if anything.

Pushing unfavourable phases and killing the fights faster contribute a huge portion with MCH and NIN. Padding runs exist too so you pretty much leave adds for WAR, not to mention extended Balance is a thing if you just want to padd your number.

Phases like Double Scraplines in a9s for example requiring you to be mini-ed. For a10s, only thing I can think of is having tanks handle the preys and probably the adds. Lapis Lazuli skip is a huge one in a11s, minor ones are like the EDD adds where you have to tank and when boss does limit cut and go invul. Lastly for a12s, the last phase dance is a good chunk, basically you don't want to even see the "Summon Alexander" cast.
