Wars in need if potency increases

[Dortharl]

I’m saying this knowing WAR will be buffed, but I don’t see why they should always be top dps for tanks. They have better utility and mitigation than GNB and are very similar to DRK in play style. True PLD is the utility king but they also have to compete in dps to feature in end game content.

Why is MCH top ranged DPS?
Why is BLM top caster DPS?
Why is SAM top melee DPS?

Because there has to be one. If you want to argue that they have the highest pDPS because they lack rDPS support, well, all of the tanks have pretty equal party support so technically they should all be doing the same damage. Why then should any tank do more damage than War? Warrior is the berserker job.

Because Warrior has been doing the most damage for how many years now? Resulting in other tanks being backburnered. Warrior has the highest burst of all the tanks.... that alone satisfies your "berserk job" thematic.

We're talking a difference of around 150 dps.

When Gunbreaker is the squishiest of the tanks.

Why is this so unacceptable?
