You're doing nothing but buff WAR since shadowbringers release. You might as well take The Blackest Night and give it to other job and delete my job from the game Mr.Yoshida!

If they decide to give TBN to all the other tanks, can the Warrior version be called "The Thiccest Boy?"

Also GNB buff, sure first you take all CD's and shove it in him with his Dots aswell and PLD only has 2 CD's left now, he used to have like 8.

That is a trend i hate here, they keep takign abilitys away with a new class and shove it in the new one.

Did you get kicked out of savage groups and statics because you play DRK?
NO! Because the tanks are still balanced and you can play any tank you want.
These 2 just got QoL changes and the WAR should get a bit closer to DRK and PLD dmg.

Exactly these are QoL improvements which SE listened to the playerbase, Storms Eye being annoying to upkeep and Nascent not needing a target, thank you SE for listening to input.

DRK has always been the lowest priority job for SE so thats not new, im personally not surprised for the lack of ajustments.

all being said i no longer able to argue that WAR is more complex that DRK, now are equally braindead to me.

WAR was already equaly/superior to DRK dps since the start of the expansion, this changes will just put it 100% ahead of DRK and make it really close to PLD if not equal, and many jobs recived in the past Gameplay changes despite still being balanced just bcs are requested for make the experience more fun, idk why this should be a exception for DRK, but we all know DRK is not allowed to get mid expansion changes like the rest.

DRK did get mid expansion changes in Stormblood though.

That being said I keep being equally as amused as I'm disappointed at every patch by the devs just not giving in on Living Dead being utter crap and removing the healing requirement on it.

I wanted to mean Gameplay changes to improve the experience of the job, kinda like how SAM get changed to use Shoha or other skills/mechanics get revamped to improve the job, yeah buffs and number tweaks like everyone, but gameplay stuff? never, only sole survivor and no more and was really minor.

It has been a while since I last checked.
IF I now look on Shiva kills/ ranking then I see that WAR is by far the most unpopular class.
The median dmg is close to DRK but he still the lowest.

This unpopularity has to come from somewhere and is eventually fixed with this patch.

Gameplay mostly, WAR dps output is fine, his defensive kit is still of the best and his utility remains one of the best in terms of optimization and such, WAR unpopularity came mostly from the lack of additions with the expansion and a infinite storm of complains about nascent flash wich is "fixed" now, onslaught and how unpleasant was to run a dungeon and keep storm eye, well see who all this QoL end raising his popularity but we have to keep in mind DRK becoming WAR but with a sword and edginess have something to do with his pick rate too considering the marketing and the expansion theme.
