SE: if it aint broke, dont fix it (War)

I completely agree with you, and the title of the thread, and every other WAR main that has the general opinion of, "WAR is good the way it is, leave it alone and focus on other tanks. I mean, I've got all 3 tanks at 70, and DRK is the only one that I just feels weaker and far more punishing to not have mastered. Maybe that's because my play time with the class is less than it is with WAR and PLD and I just need to play the class more.

For anyone who has read Chrono_Rising's DRK threads, he brings up valid points about their cooldown times, and the doubleweaving issues that cause a lot of hassle for people trying to get into DRK past just getting to 70. They need far more attention now that WAR and PLD are roughly on the same level, and I think it's a shame that DRK hasn't seen at least some changes by now.

Speaking of which, does anyone else find it amusing that the world first DRK on Ultimate pretty much just said, "I like DRK because I find it fun." That's the kind of person I want doing world firsts, not the min/maxers who seethe and spit venom at the idea of a WAR staying in Defiance or a PLD staying in Shield Oath for more than the first 30 seconds of a fight. Props to that DRK for being awesome.

TL;DR: WAR is fine, its simplicity makes it a very cut and dry, but efficient tank. Fix DRK, world first means nothing in terms of balance.
