Off Tank DPS - is Pld > War still a valid arguement?

[nijian]

I'm not inclined to agree with this thread. PLD can do consistent DMG, but WAR do have much better burst dmg, and can output HIGHER damage. TBH, I find that having the burst damage is better for OTing, as you switch back and forth from OTing adds, or MTing the boss for a bit, so it's good to be able to burst harder DPS when you need to. Only think about Unchained if you are actually "tanking", you're better off just dropping Defiance if you want to OT DPS. Thats 25% of your damage back, and you don't need Inner Beast or Steel or Unchained anymore if you're DPSing.

Tip: Get used to dropping Defiance and DPSing whenever possible during your big fights. An OT who sits in defiance, and does nothing is not a good OT at all. Learn when you can push offence, learn when you need to swap and tank, and learn how to manage your TP FAAAAR better. Once you start trying to DPS harder, your TP consumption gets a little ridiculous.

PS: I've out DPS'd PLD MTs since 2.1 (when WARs got BUFFED...) and still do, especially in T13. :P Pointless point is pointlessly pointless. #pointlessception
