Warriors not getting procs and losing aggro to a DPS or healer and letting them die will slow down a group far too much.

Rogues never die in vaguely competent XP groups, and healing will never pull aggro off a warrior.

That's probably because you are too confident in your assumptions. What if Kael is depopulated by XP groups? What if the GMs start dropping the banhammer when those XP groups get trained?

What's strange to me, though, is that as the group size shrinks the Knights don't really get better even though they are nominally more versatile.
Anyway, I don't think Knights are terrible as much as I think Warriors are underrated. A big part of this whole 'Warriors are shit in groups' myth comes from leveling with Warriors with the standard noob combo (Yak Scimitar/Skean) and terrible dexterity. Reality is that warriors are gear dependent, but once you get the gear they are absolutely destructive: nearly as much DPS as monks, solid threat, massive hp/ac, and when you overpull you just hit evasive and you need maybe 1 CH in the next 3 minutes. I mean I played an *iksar* warrior and he was very strong IMO, so I can only imagine when it would feel like to play a full cobalt/crown of rile/etc ogre.
