4.2 Palladin - more to play as dps than ever ? Why say it's tank then...

[Hruodig]

Like I said earlier, I am a Warrior, and I do like to pull. But if someone else wants to do it, I'm not going to sit there and talk about how that's not the "most optimal strategy", since I don't have a broom up my butt like most of the other people that seem to raid.

Silly me, caring about things like "playing well" and "dps".

Expecting strangers to play as well as a static is a bit much, imo.

Keep that advice coming, Hruodig. I enjoy tanking as much as I do healing and I'm starting to get that itch again. My tank of choice is paladin. Without your input, I would have never known that it was far better to off tank on the pull.

Right, because pulling with a Paladin or not will determine whether you end up with a 4.1k parse or a 3.5k parse..... OH WAIT NO, IT WON'T! It won't even show at the end of the run. lol Let alone be a factor in whether you hit enrage or not. In other words, it does - not - matter. It's got nothing to do with playing well.

Unless you're trying to argue that if a Paladin ends up pulling, they won't be able to make it to the top, you literally have no arguments left.

To be fair, you don't have to be 100% optimal to clear almost anything. We had a drk clear a12s before stormblood launched using literally nothing but flash. You have zdps healers getting carried through content every single day. You have no trick attack ninjas, no dot samurais, heal-happy rdms, clearing content all the time.

Does the fact that they can still clear make any of that ok? No, at least not to me. I don't really like wasting other people's time, so I like to play optimally, and if I'm playing with someone who's clearly playing un optimally then I'll try to help them out.
