Indeed; the reason that DRKs use /war so frequently in VW is because Last Resort caps your JA Haste (and lasts the typical duration of a VW fight).
Can't say that I agree completely. I've parsed against Dragoons who used /sam on high tier VWNM's like Prov Watcher, Morta, etc.
I remember a post that a linkshell member posted had me at 16% on Provenance Watcher as drg/war and the drg/sam was at 9%. He may have had Hasso but his WS damage and accuracy perhaps were severely lacking compared to mine.
I didn't win the parse, a war and I believe a drk parsed higher than me, I don't remember the rest.
Warrior sub also gives you access to all staff procs which can be useful at times along with a few other club/sword procs that we don't receive when subbing samurai.
Don't get me wrong though, on lower tier VWNM's where your attack and accuracy are capped then /sam will surely win. I'm simply saying that /war has its place.
