In ShB created an issue with SE blatantly ignoring WAR for GNB and then remembering last second WAR existed. Its true, SE hated WAR, I think Yoshi even said so a few times back at Fanfest when someone asked about Tank Raid Acc and he specifically blamed WAR as to why they hadn't done anything at the time. Now look, if you have an issue, than fix the issue and nerf WAR if you had to, but what they did was insulting. You pay for the expansion you get on your class to see how it gained power and evolved and you end up realizing, nothing really changed, you just got was necessary to make sure you aren't completely forgotten by all other tank classes

And this is the point though, if you don't come out and say 'hey' at least there are issues with WAR on how it runs right now and needs be improved, SE will just keep WAR as 4.2 WAR when 6.0 comes.

They did a bad job with 4.2 WAR DRK kinda proves that as DRK Delirum is IR, but DRK is able to keep WAR's damage... without the need for forced DH, Crit, to keep its damage consistant. The major issue was always "hey, WAR has almost no OGCDs during its rotation". I understand some would say DRK is split, but one of the reasons is because it became a WAR knock off with Delirum and it losing once again, cool skills people enjoyed for no reason.
