Why does War need to be the highest dps tank again?

I loathe Single Target and AoE equivalent skills because they're literally nothing but bloat.

Been asking for Holy Spell/Circle on paladin to just be one god damn ability for years.

They gave Expiacion AOE cleave, there is no reason to not consolidate buttons and reduce bloat before 7.0

100% damage on main target, 50% on the rest, target on your current target instead of on your own head.

It's not just PLD: a lot of classes have the same type of skill but split into two variations, which means two buttons to press, which means "why do we even have this?"

What's weird to me is that, besides the occasional moment where the difference matter, you'll mostly do single-target attacks for the rest of the encounter so all this focus on having 2 variations of the same ability just feels unnecessary. It's just an extra ability for the one moment where you'll have to target more than one target, and there aren't that many moments where you'll target more than one target. In fact why do we have so many aoe skills when you really don't get to fight many enemies at once, besides trash pull and the occasional boss fight with adds in it? Just feels like overkill. I'm not asking for a single button to press like they used to do before, but I don't think we need 3-6 aoe abilities either.

They should indeed just make fewer skills that works for both or, even better, just make one solid single-target spell instead of splitting the same into two.

Because it's already better at everything else.

As someone who plays every tank equally.
