If you want to tank just roll a warrior. No xp penalty which will be nice when you start out and all-round better tanking in later levels.

Right and wrong. Eventually, come Velious, Knights will be moved to the same tables as Warriors, which will make them far and away better tanks vs most mobs due to snap aggro ability. Warriors will always be the definitive tanks when it comes to raid mobs due to certain disciplines.

Aside from raid mobs, Knights will be more effective tanks as a whole.

Mobs hit pretty hard in Velious, even the single group content. You're still better off with a warrior in most circumstances... Disciplines also work out of raids. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Warriors are awesome... But they have one role: tank. They don't have the utility that the SK and Paladin have. All three tank classes have their place and no shame in rolling with any of them [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Actually I'd say warriors have 2 roles - Tank and DPS. A lot of people don't think of warriors as dps but they can really put out some nice numbers when geared well.

Warriors do the third best melee dps, behind rogues and monks.
