Then WAR got the IR/Beserk change because they had inconistant damage (personally I thought this was the worst idea utterly gutting the job almost). So lets say... 3.5 years.
5 years ago was midway through ARR, PLD was stronger in some cases but by that point WAR was equally liked and in other cases edged out PLD by a bit. WAR was preferred in HW along with DRK with PLD getting laughed out of the park. WAR was wonky at the start of SB sure, but still greatly preferred over DRK in deltascape and then it never got better for DRK going forward. When people brought DRK its cause their tank liked DRK, not because it was the preferred tank according to the community like PLD and WAR. WAR was top dog in HW and SB and equal with its only competitor for half of ARR. Thats 5 years.
