While I think sometimes people who “tank AoW” overlook minor details like the 25+ clerics or the classes giving the DS that puts them on the parse, outside charmed pets nobody is tanking AoW but warriors.
A 25+ chain instant chain is still subject to human error. Warriors especially with defensive add a safety net where the beefiest knight would be on razor thin margins even if avoiding that one-round dirt nap. They will drop more quickly and you will need a bump…so more bumps and tanks to do the same job.
A theoretical 100 cleric chain of course is sustainable forever but it just adds more chance of error. Unless you have a substantial amount of dps it’s going to be a slow fight so just more chance for error as boredom and fatigue sets in.
Plus…there is a reason why clerics universally get dkp bonuses. You can’t just pick a number and expect them to show up in droves.
Rather than push people into silly warrior roles (like AoW) I do think there is a case for more knight tank targets. If you have the clerics and the knight has 6k+ why not? It keeps things fun.
Anyways what were we saying about dps classes? Rangers are the best?
