A unique aspect that requires it to be the only tank of four that melds Determination as Direct Hit is completely worthless. Not having to sacrifice damage on the other three tanks makes this worth it, imo.Removing direct crits from IR/IC would change absolutely nothing of the rotation nor how the job plays. On top of that, WAR is only unable to benefit from 3 out of the 8 raid buffs (Chain Strat, Litany, B Voice) and of those three, one of them (B Voice) is already significantly reduced in efficacy for tanks due to the much lower stat budget of direct hit that tanks have in comparison to DPS, which totals out more accurately to 2.5 out of 8 raid buffs that WAR cannot benefit from. This is a completely acceptable loss for what the job gains from having guaranteed direct critical hits; that being consistency. Warrior's burst damage is extremely consistent due to this, not to mention the fact that IR/IC guaranteeing direct critical hits is a unique aspect to Warrior, and in an age where people seem to complain about jobs, especially tanks, all playing so similarly to one another, this uniqueness is a welcome factor.
TL;DR - No.
