WAR as DPS?

[RapBreon]

So in order to DPS your entire group has to work around you, that defeats the point of being a viable DPS option. Also with current gear availability to >MRD< wanting to attempt to play as a DPS you wouldn't be wearing heavy armor and you would only have one ability reducing incoming damage (Foresight) the rest of your cross class skills would be slotted for DPS boosts since you're DPSing not TANKing, I'm sure healers would really enjoy hard swapping to the lolMRD dpser during coil trash whose taking hits upwards of 700-800 a swing.

This may come as a surprise, but a serious TEAM, would have no issues with this if (the real question here) it increased efficiency. If you're a fledgling group who has no trust in each other whatsoever, I wouldn't recommend trying anything even remotely different. So If I said I'm about to tank this next pack I'll be focus target for heals, they respond and they would enjoy it, if, like I said; it increased efficiency. Also nobody takes trash seriously anyway, this should be tested on a boss (probably not T4 :P).

I did mention the iLvL Allagan Axe would be necessary for this to be worth considering. I also personally would still wear heavy armour even as a DPS MRD, because it has STR on it and often another DPS Stat. Secondary stats aren't as important at the moment as primaries. They often have accuracy on them, sometimes Crit and even (gross) skill speed. Though ideally I would choose on a piece by piece basis, assuming I had access to all of them, fitting in heavy armour where I could.
