As of now the consensus is that WARS are nolonger the best at everything, PLD got buffed to hell so they are great currently the best tank, DRK got nerfed to IMO unplayable status. Enmity Generation feels alot weaker and aoe pulling is alot harder as well give that enmity generation is alot lower. Tank stance is becoming more and more mandatory as well theres less stance dancing you should check the forums and reddit theres alot of detailed replies if you want more info.

Also for my opinion on doing a few runs with the new DRK i dislike just spaming DA on everything and the loss of many of my cd's to class roles are also damaging i personally am not liking the current state of tanking in SB.

Early days and probably change a bit at higher levels but the oath gauge is slow as he'll to build up in shield. Even with bullwark active. And the loss of half of it when you swap to sword seems to make it almost unusable. Bosses are dead before it fills up.

Dark Knight is a hollow shell of itself.

Being DRK is suffering, though I will endure

Having fun with Drk, no aggro issues or anything, I will say the mobs hit quite a lot harder though. Gonna continue to hit drk 70 tonight.

I've mained WAR for a long while and I'm honestly still not sure how to play now. I'm so used to blowing 70% of my CDs for a big pull, but without BloodBath that doesn't really make sense anymore. I don't have the head for figuring out numbers so I'm just kinda using big CDs in a chain now and comboing smaller ones?

Also I dunno if it's that, or just a general thing, but I feel so much squishier now! I've had a ton of close calls.

It's a big change in playstyle, at least for me.

WAR isn't as good as it once was, but I'm still really having fun tanking. I feel good, it looks good, and the combo works really nicely. Certainly squishier, but it's still a lot of fun.
