Warriors are useless in 90% of the games content

[Troxx]

My paladin has parses of out-dpsing rogues at times in groups - I get it. Velious high end raid pal/sk 2handers are nuts. Knight dps actually becomes GOOD.

My guess is the warriors you beat out in parses didn’t get the memo and we’re trying to dps with dual wield. Even if offensive skills between the tank classes were equal, one of the 3 gets triple attack on main hand swings passively at 60.

The skill/triple attack advantage on my 60 warrior has him doing considerably more damage with a 42/43 than my 60 paladin with a 53/46.

I can scrounge around for the parses maybe, but the warrior with the inferior weapon tends to put out 15-25% more damage with equivalent buffs on group content. I admittedly do not have comparative raid parse data - mostly because I could never assist DPS from behind with Dain axe without a high risk of eventually ripping aggro at some point in the fight - even with epic/trident warriors tanking. I tried it a few times and it resulted in getting fussed at, dying, inducing crippling embarrassment… or some combination of all of the above lol.

I do wish I had a NToV dps 2hander on my warrior to play with. Unfortunately it never happened before I had to step away from a play schedule that permitted raiding in any capacity.
