I don't think Warrior's kit needs changed at all, frankly. I am perfectly content and happy with how the job functions in its current state. The only thing I would want to see changed about WAR currently are some minor potency buffs to bring its DPS output into second place of the tanks, rather than dead last as it currently is. Because there is frankly no reason or excuse that Paladin should be doing more DPS than Warrior.



The amount of DPS non-WAR tanks lose by having Det melds over DH is extremely minor. We're talking within the sub-100 DPS range here, probably more accurately sub-50 DPS. It's a damage loss, yes, but it's such an insignificantly minor one that it makes very little difference. If the difference between your party clearing versus hitting enrage is because your PLD/GNB/DRK did 50-100 less DPS due to having an omnitank set with Det melds, well, that's telling of a larger issue with your party as a whole.
We're going to have to disagree with current war, but why do you think war should be 2nd on dps? Warrior has the lowest apm and simplest rotation out of all four of the tanks. I agree war needs some sort of buff but comparing it to the to the other tanks, it's in a fine spot being behind on dps atm. It's the best self-healing tank and it never has to double weave anything either. With how current war plays personally I say, it shouldn't be above the other tanks in terms of dps, it's the least skill intensive tank and has a good defensive kit to make up for it's lower dps. You can't really argue in favor of war doing more dps than the other tanks in the current state it is now, the other tanks all have to work harder for their dps.
