Tank Balance Achieved?

[Tankstuff]

war is just annoying to play now, because all our eggs are in one basket with berserk/IR and the potencies on the combos are garbage compared to pld/drk. Also why was pld allowed to keep dots but the other tanks lost theirs? lol. Its just stupid, hey I want to do my opener on O3S better pray i dont get marked and have to run away from the boss and miss my biggest burst damage window. Its cool being pld though your dots keep on ticking and you throw out ranged fell cleaves so mechanics dont even effect you haha ecks dee

yup, it's better for WAR to open with an upheaval and delay IR/Zerk by a full combo so you mitigate the risk on being locked by the mechanic.
PLD could also be affected by mechanics if it happens during Requiescat but to a less extent.

There's a lot of fight specific planning and optimizations for WAR to do good DPS. It's more punishing that it is rewarding but it makes the class more interesting to me.

which would be perfectly fine with me IF optimizing dps for war was significantly higher, but you do all this work and planning just to break even with plds or maybe beat them by 100-200 dps, its a joke. I went from having fun with it to just being frustrated during prog and swapping to drk
