That's how the skill was designed.
    I think this is a bit irrelevant to the OP's point.

    1.) Noone is i210 right now. It'd be strange for the OP to be complaining about future events that have yet to happen or be experienced.
    2.) Why are you comparing the DPS of a PLD to DPS roles? Compare them to the other tanks.

    If my Static were having DPS problems, a WAR and a DRK will bring more DPS and they're likely to take them instead. Telling a PLD bringing group to just wait for higher ilevels isn't really an answer, you might as well tell them to go take a vacation after capping each week.

    It's completely relevant. It would help if you followed that chain of replies to see what, exactly, I had responded to. Anyway, no one is actually geared to the level of the content. Alex Savage is supposed to last for at least 3 months, as well as be tackled with help from esoterics gear. Just like Rav Ex began to become trivial at i180+ for most players, so too will this content be easier as ilvls increase. I got my clear and all my farming down before even Alex normal, and it was a chore compared to if I'd waited another week. Sometimes waiting isn't so bad, you know. All the whining in the world about the "terrible DPS" of tanks and players in general, of which we've seen several threads each week, stems from this hyperbolic distortion of reality that everything can and should be accomplished within days of release.

    Topics discussed here and in other threads apply to some 0.01% of the community that is dead-set on clearing the hardest content as quickly as possible. Savage is supposed to be gated, even for those folks. I bet you'll see better progress now that we're in week three and everyone can actually afford an esoterics weapon. Cause again, that's what the content is balanced toward.
