Can Warriors make good DPS instead of Tanks?

[Snaggles]

I don’t really understand this thread.

In a raid you would have to have an excess of warriors (more than you would ever need to keep their defensive/evasive discs ready) who want to go zerk-mode, sure why not? If you have a low amount of hps or aren’t 60 likely it’s not a bad role if not needed for ramp duty.

For a grind group DPS is the easiest role to fill. I would never turn down even a non-zerk warrior who wants to dps and let the knight tank; they do great damage and aren’t squishy. It’s just a rare luxury of having too many tanks who need groups. It’s like having multiple enchanters with charmed pets. Hell it’s great but it’s not typical.

Basically if you are in an elite tier of the game (any raid guild with extra warriors), sure...go nuts. Thinking outside the box is a good thing. If you aren’t or just are leveling up you better learn to tank of you chose to play a tank. Trying to mold a PUG to your esoteric game play best case will annoy a lot of people. Worst case you will die a lot.
