Ignoring the trolls, I will simply state that I never said war is the lesser of the tanks, but IMO , it truly is, when you take into consideration what a tank is primarly supposed to do, PLD simply dose it better. Dealing damage is not anywhere near my list of priorities. Only reason WAR is still a viable tank, is because SE continues to offer insentives for speed runs and has yet to offer a fight in wich endurance is the key to winning and not killing the boss fast. Once we face a boss in wich we simply can not zerg in 10 minutes or less and are forced to actually sit through a 30 minute or longer boss fight, then PLD will most certainly shine over WAR, fact is I have seen a THM tank Iffrit , Princess and Coincounter. Because A thm was able to tank these fights gives testament to its lack of being worthy as a true test of tank, as far as Chimera and Mistress go PLD is infact the safest tank, not the fastest, but certainly the safest, and that gose for any boss fight.
