For all you warrior tanks out there... end game we are not viable.

Warriors aren't supposed to main tank for the higher dungeons anyways. Paladins are the main tanks.

Says who? As far as I've seen, the devs have never stated that WAR is an off-tank. This is conjecture.

And here's the rub; WAR is a tank. In a party setting, they are there to take damage and not die. DPS plays no part in this.

WAR's method of not dying is to heal from damage dealt. To accomplish this they are given more damage, which makes them stronger than the PLD.

You say that to balance this, the WAR should be less capable of not dying, which means they are less capable in their primary function. Thus, WAR is a worse tank, but is supposed to make up for it by being a secondary DD? Such a design is inherently inefficient.

Their method of not dying is by means of a substantially larger HP pool and increased heals, WAR are by no means squishy, my FC has WAR that currently runs Coils so the notion that they are underpowered or ill-suited for the job is an exaggeration IMO

Dude. You said "Please let me know if my interpretations are erroneous". They were, and you stand corrected. Not once in the post did i say anything about wether war need to have the same survivability than pld. You did some math to prove that 20% reduction of damage is inferior to 25% more hp and healing, you were wrong, i corrected your math, end of the story. Just don't use that argument to justify than war are fine, that's all.

Nobody ever said that, and also there simply isn't a need for off-tanks in the game. Almost all content is designed for one tank, and in the few encounters where you might need another, paladins are still better off-tanks than warriors anyway.

It's not like warriors can queue as DPS. I can't believe the amount of retardation on this forum from people who can't comprehend why the two tank classes need to be equally good. What would be the fucking point of a class that can only be a tank if another class was intentionally designed to be a better tank?

It's a simple matter of necessary rebalancing, and it's frankly astonishing how many people can dream up reasons to deny this. Almost all of them are paladin players, too, which I guess explains why they'd fight tooth and nail to remain the best tank class by a country mile. So selfish and unintelligent.

I will revisit this thread when you are running the content in proper order. Too many variables to be crying "broken class" just yet.

With Thrill of Battle prolly...sorry Hiir...I saw your posts regarding Warrior all over the place and you're just spreading bullshit all over the place. Either you are a troll, or you're just a person that should be avoided in general...

Yeah with FOOD AND OTHER BUFFS. Like I said. Thrill of Battle is a buff. So you just agreed with my nonsense. How do you feel about that?

[Blazn]

Funny I know two other warriors that can tank it easily

Brief summary of the OP's case:

"I don't know how to play/itemize my warrior, therefore it is utterly useless in higher level content."

[Dead-Song]

Im lvl 42.....so i guess ill either meet GLORY or an REALLY UNSPEAKABLE BLOODY DEATH in about 8 lvls LOL!

[Pwnagraphic]

Not even two threads below this is talking about Warriors and Paladins both being too OP. xD
