What is the point of playing tank other than warrior?

Yeah being able to solo dungeon bosses isn't exclusive to WAR. It's not as faceroll but it's pretty easy with Paladin and Gunbreaker.

Ultimately it's a self-healing issue. Tanks should only be able to delay their deaths to a boss, not outheal an entire boss worth of damage.

It's just really stupid how every other role is "If you make a mistake and eat 2 AoEs at a time, you're dead" but tank is "I can eat as many AoEs as I want and I have an invuln and a healer to bail me out"

Tank is basically easy mode on mechanics, Healer is easy mode on rotation, DPS is normal difficulty on both.

so this is your first time playing an MMO huh? that's generally how TANKS work when eating damage compared to DAMAGE DEALING NON-TANKS

You can do it quite easily on DRK as well, especially with proper use of Shadowed Vigil and Living Dead

I kind of hate how a Warrior can hold an entire dungeon boss hostage by soloing it from however much HP it has to 0, especially since all you can really do it wait 5-10 mins for them to kill the thing because they have such ridiculous sustain they won't have any trouble keeping themselves alive.

I know it's been a thing in past xpacs too, but it's just ridiculous nonetheless

All the tanks could do that minus DRK last expansion. For the longest time during Stormblood it was actually paladins that had the better sustain since SE removed bloodbath from warrior and only gave them equilibrium that needed to crit to get a decent heal.

They just wanted to reinforce the fact that Warrior is the main character's job for Dawntrail. They even give you a sample experience of the simplistic gameplay and auto-heals, in case you weren't convinced by that prospect alone.

With all the blowback in General Discussion, I wouldn't think that Warrior mains want Wuk Lamat as their exemplar.

What's hillarious is that even War's damage ceiling is now higher than Drk's.
Job balance of all time. They should unironically just delete all the tanks except Warrior at this point and give you a weapon skin of the other jobs.
There is *zero* reason to play anything else. War just holds a monopoly on everything now.

Most tanks plays the same.. except warrior which plays good feels good
