Is anyone surprised at this point?

I mean, let's face it. Buffing all of the steps of someone's combo, especially on a job like WAR which is supposedly burst-orientated, is a bit like rewarding a player for breathing. I don't think you can simultaneously accept an easymode combo sustain buff and still complain about monotonous gameplay. The job has a reputation of being a snorefest for a reason. It's as much the community's fault as the devs.

Like I said on page 1

Warrior already has better defensives, better selfheal and better party support than other tanks so we do not also need better dps.
What warrior needs is something to shake up the incredibly monotonous gameplay, not more potency.

I couldn't care less about the potency buffs, I'm not even raiding this tier and more damage doesn't fix the issues I have with the job.


Granted I did fall for the 4.2 trap as well, warrior kept me entertained in Stormblood. But as soon as the Shadowbringers changes rolled around I noticed something "felt" off. I wasn't watching my enmity bars anymore thinking about whether or not I'd have to Butcher's at some point or check my Infuriate cooldown, there was no reason to manage my gauge outside of higher end content or think about whether or not my cooldowns allow me to sit in Deliverance for the next wall pull. Once those "distractions" were gone I became that much more aware of the incredibly boring moment-to-moment gameplay.
