Deliverance rant

[Whiteroom]

Seriously - this isn't a WAR thing. It's a bad tank thing. Any tank that runs the wrong stance, fails to hold threat, and doesn't use cooldowns is just bad.

And honestly? The fact that WAR can out dps a lot of actual dps players if that WAR is playing their job right means a lot of dps players are just bad.

Tbh, its far more prevalent with WARs, so yes it is a WAR thing. I would say that probably 4/5 WARs I run into are just dps who like a big axe.

Also, if you wanted to do the whole "its a bad tank thing", you may as well have gone with a "It's a bad player thing"

And honestly, any tank or healer role can out dps a large portion of the current dps players. Sadly, even PLD.

I run heals and dps as well as tanking, and I'd have to disagree. I was seeing far more DRKs running without Grit than WAR running Deliverance only. And I do a ton of dungeon running and hunting. It's leveled off and most people still playing seem to be playing their tank jobs properly if they've stuck with it. But I'm still getting more bad DRK players in roulette than bad WARs.

Being a bad tank does not equate to a bad player, please don't make that assumption. I know many people who are great at another role(caster, healer, etc) and not good at tanking and vice versa. There are many people trying out tanks now that just aren't familiar with how the class plays. Help those that are learning if they ask and be patient. If it doesn't workout you can make a choice, just have fun.
