Deliverance rant

[Hayward]

Honestly, this is what happens when game developers pander to gamers who think tactics are breath mints. You get tanks who don't know the fundamentals of the role (or ignore them completely when told of them) and think they're something they're not. I appreciate doing decent damage to maintain an enemy's attention but I know that my primary duty as a tank is to keep enemies looking at me. In the case of Warrior, that means using Defiance first and foremost and using Deliverance when I know no one else has a chance of stealing hate from me.

Edit: As an aside, anyone who says more than 10% (at the most) of DPS players can't out-damage a tank really needs to have a seat. Or meet some actual DPS'ers rather than inventing scarecrows for such absurd arguments.

I out dps most dps during boss fights...as a PLD in DF. Maybe not in trash pulls since PLD just sucks at aoe, but idc I just turtle up, heal myself with Clemancy, and let the healers that do dps have a ball while rarely needing to heal me. A lot of dps in DF don't play thier class correctly basically.
