Typically about 25% or more than my PLD or the MT (PLD), though I have +1/AF2 on WAR but not on my PLD.Quote:

If you need the tank's DPS on turn 4 to do it without getting to the next phase then there's something fundamentally wrong with your group.

10-10-2013, 01:45 PMHalfmindWe are blowing through the packs well before the next iteration would begin. The final platform AOE is on a set timer, so the more DPS you're able to put out, the less you even have to bother healing at the very end. I hope you don't see something fundamentally wrong with that.Quote:

If you have low crit rate value, the advantage from wrath stacks will be small (at base 341 crit rate, bonus of less than 2.5%. to crit chance) and if you have lot of crit rate, a bit bigger(something like 570, probable max at current gear with lots of crit melds the bonus to crit chance will be some points short of 4%.). But anyway, the way the +% work in this game are pretty unintuitive for lots of things.Quote:

As I was browsing some other forums, I came across this person who is claiming that they're main tanking in Coil. I thought that wasn't possible?

Maybe he's figured something out? -

Considering his lack of both specifics and proof, I will say he is probably overstating his case. Also, he's admitted to being in pretty much full ilvl90, and reading between the lines, his healers are indeed carrying him. None of this makes the case for balance, and it certainly doesn't say IF he is MT, that he did it before it was farm content for his fc.

10-10-2013, 08:43 PMRapBreonIt's possible, the only thing that is truly in doubt is a Warrior tanking double Dnaughts. Hello double roto-rape. Everything else, even early phase Twins is fairly managable.Quote:

I would never MT Turn 4 as WAR, and to really compete in Turn 5, I feel you should be running 2x PLD

3) "Warriors are harder to play" The truth is, they are harder, but not on the tank. It is harder for your healers to keep up. No one is going to be impressed by your performance on a warrior, because you simply don't have the tools to impress.
