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!

To be fair, WAR has been the worst Tank the entire expansion, no suprise they would buff it... just flabbergasted it took this long. Did it save the job? Not really as all Tanks are kinda just in a bad gameplay spot, but it basically probably propped up WAR into the realm of PLD/GNB now. DRK... got screwed and left to rot, but I guess that's what they think of a copycat job.
That being said... these changes will quickly go to show just how badly designed WAR is. Think about the gameplay loop they are pushing for, after opener sit there and just spam 1 combo and fell cleave on cooldown until you might need to Storm's Path.
WAR might do more damage in the end but... is it worth a worse playing job now?
To me, no, its not a worthwhile change to get me back into playing WAR. GNB change? Eh, slightly helps I guess.
