    It's not their main focus, but they've gotta be given something to do while the tank performs their primary function for them. A lack of DPS buttons would be less of an issue if not for the sheer lack of healing needed in anything below an EX trial. Granted, I very much love WAR's ability to bulldoze through dungeons without any care whether or not the healer or DPS are even in the same area code, but if that's gonna be happening then healers definitely need more buttons of other types to press.

    Nerf Warrior...chaos ensues
    Like I think in Shadowbringers they wernt the best tank for a while...people didnt like that. So they made Warrior the best again.
    And now in Endwalker its so good, people think Healers arnt needed anymore. Warrior just...ugh. XD

    WAR is far from the best tank. It excels at a single thing: self-sustain. Its damage blows compared to DRK and GNB, and even PLD seems to be beating it in this regard after the last round of changes. Even its mitigation isn't stellar, though I'll grant it does mitigate better, ironically, than PLD.

    I'm genuinely curious, as someone still learning about the strengths and weaknesses of each tank job: which one would you consider the "best"? Is it based off of mitigation, dps, or both? Does it depend on the type of content it is being used in?

    I'd say DRK has awesome dps, but it's a bit too squishy for my taste in comparison to the others. I could see GNB being the winner, though.
