Just because DRK cleared ultimate first doesn't mean it doesn't need buffs

What...are you smoking? Seriously I want some of that because in HW they sacrificed their buffs like Vengeance and RI to get more stacks now they don't, you also don't know how War works if you're saying they suck in prog War is the tank that universally excels in all compositions.

I will say that WAR has the least defence against O2S, since practically every attack that matters cannot be parried, so RI is objectively useless. And they can wipe the raid if Inner Release is up during the Long Drop for tanks/healers.

Honestly just nitpicking, though. WAR is in a pretty good spot.

RI isn't useless you can use it in Shake it Off making it strong for the Gravitational Waves, using it as a defensive CD yeah it loses it's usefulness in TBs but those are easily mitigated, and a good War knows not to use Inner Release during the long drop and it can save you too if it's up if you mess up too so it's still really good.

So really Wars toolkit still shits allover Drks as they bring more tools and damage there's literally no reason to bring a Drk over a War for the 2nd spot and that's the whole problem with the tank balance which has been expressed many times in this thread.

I know its nitpicking, but they have the same option a DRK has.
-20% dmg taken + 20% hp.
(1 GCD and 1 oGCD)

the difference being WAR needs the hp healed, but can get into tank stance quicker, but has a slight DPS loss relying on IB.
(Of course they still have Holmgang, which is always under estimated with its short CD)
