Do Not Engage: Warriors Vs. PALs/SHDs

[knottyb0y]

Nice. Are SKs and PALs very unpopular in Kunark and Velious, then, or do they also have nice bonuses?

As far as i understand SKs and PAL are still necessary in Kunark. They also get gear upgrades, but Kunark really made pure melee's shine the most (with biggest gear upgrades and balancing factors).

I still imagine that SKs and Pal will do a lot of off-tanking duty during raids.

As far as exp grouping goes I think your reputation as a good player, or at least enjoyable player > how much better or worse your class is at tanking than another. Unless it prohibits me from doing content I've never rejected a class (particularly a tank) to join my group, especially if I have grouped with them before and they did not suck.

Kunark really just brings a lot of upgrades all around and a lot of fixes/features for pure melee classes. Does that mean that Warriors suck in classic? No. But taunt IS broken, and the classic gear gap between knights and warriors is not as pronounced, making knights seem more desirable for grouping at least on paper.
