WAR as DPS role possible? *ducks*

I have out DPS'd Bards, Black Mages and even Monks on Second Coil playing as Warrior.

Granted some of them might have been quite crappy DPS, but it's not hard to out-DPS a Bard while main tanking.

Good bards can hit 330+ you can't begin to say through the course of a fight you can do that as main tank. I would like to see some proof of you doing over 300 sustained on warrior

People like this makes my day. Dream on.

BRD in my group do 300+ Damage in SCoB, I would like to see WAR does that while MTing ... if you are please post some SS ;)

He said they were probably crappy DPS.. I've ran t6 a few times with people who couldn't hit 200.. Hell one SMN we had did a whopping 99 DPS (excl garuda, which wasn't much anyways).. Not hard to beat that tanking >.>

He may not be lying. A Warrior has roughly 356.80 potency in Defiance if using a perfect rotation (Paladin has a 296.26 potency in Shield Oath using a perfect rotation) and few reasons to interrupt his rotation. If he is using only Str Accessories and has 30 Str he could possibly exceed a Bard's dps.

A Paladin in theory can hit 429 to 477 potency dps in Sword Oath while OTing a Warrior MT.

I was doing 330ish DPS aaccording to someone when I was whacking a dummy for fun. And I didn't go through the defiance stuff so it could have been pushed higher. I could probably hit around 340-350.

That was probably burst damage, I know it is possible to reach those numbers for short periods every time fight or flight is up but we are taking about sustained damage not what a paladin can do in 6-10 seconds, raids last longer than 10 seconds.

No need to duck. If you form a 4/8 man party you can do whatever you want. If you use the DF the answer is no. The only thing you can sign up for is Tank and you will be expected to Tank.
