What is the point of playing tank other than warrior?

To have fun? lol

play what you enjoy dude, balance doesn't matter till high end

Have fun playing a direct downgrade of War.
This shouldn't even be a thing.. It's a refusal to balance the game. But go wild i guess.

I mean...WAR is great for dungeons...k? We generally don't know what the meta is dps wise until it gets figured out. People are forgetting DRK and GNB was the meta all last expansion and in Endwalker WAR was the worst tank in terms of Savage and Ultimate scene. WAR has far less buttons to hit but less to learn and optimize vs the other tanks.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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