Since you bloody well seem to have an firm unwavering opinion on this.

God jesus can we just rollback to HW jobs already. Simply make BRD not a bloody bowmage and all is well. The job design since SB has sucked so goddamn much catering towards dropkicks that QQ'd about Cleric Stance and swapping to Deliverance.
Heavensward had by far the worst tank balance of any expansion in this game's history but of course, some people really are nostalgic for Warrior having both the best DPS, raid mitigation and personal mitigation in the game by a wide margin. Heavensward Warrior cannot come back ever because a job with the highest tank DPS by a huge margin, a 3 minute immunity, a 2 minute sentinel while all the other tanks have a 3 minute one, and a permanent -10% damage debuff attached to a combo is, fundamentally, impossible to balance.
