Switching mains to a tank role. What is wrong with warr?

[YitharV2]

This is the kind of attitude I'm talking about with people who make it out to be way worse than it is. I don't contest that WAR brings no utility, but it has extremely solid mitigation and DPS. "Bringing" a WAR and "playing" WAR are very different things, and WAR is currently extremely fun to me right now. They're all considerably more fun than their 3.x counterparts in my opinion.

As for why you'd bring a WAR, well it has the highest DPS potential for starters

War is still viable, but same can be said for Scholar.

Yes, Scholar is still viable. But it's inefficient (in my opinion, remember - you can disagree all you like) and not very fun.

If it's fun for you great, but a lot of us don't find it fun anymore. See reddit comment by a really good tank mentor.

That being said, the difference probably doesn't matter to the average player, just wondering where you're getting this "highest DPS potential" from.


Edit: Just fyi you can look at DPS w/o Balance. And the highest Paladin DPS for Susano is higher the highest Warrior DPS for Susano. So even if "potentially" Warrior DPS is better, if no one can pull it off, it means crap.
