"Get something done" that isn't soloing, grouping or raiding?

What the fuck are you talking about? What other mysterious activities is it you pretend exist where warrior is the ideal tank, if not raiding or XPing? There isn't some formal distinction between PUGs and guild groups, and knights are vastly superior to warriors in either case. Anyone who denies that is blatantly full of shit. In no conceivable way is the warrior's marginally better HP/mitigation worth more than the effortless snap aggro of hybrids in content where you're just chain-pulling easy mobs and all that matters is ensuring a steady flow of XP.

In a raid, warrior is obviously the main tank. We've already covered that. This is irrelevant to the 95% of the playerbase who don't raid.

In a group or solo, warrior is obviously terrible.

What the hell else is left? People need to quit it with these pretentious hipster opinions that they hold just because they think going against common knowledge makes them seem like they know more than everyone else. It doesn't. It just makes you look like you don't have a clue what you're talking about.

If you want to XP from 1-60 in a trio with ench/cleric warrior is better. Theres an example. How about if you want to one group some weaker raid mobs like Ixiblat. Warrior is better. Basically if you have friends to play with or leave KC warrior is better. You should try it sometime. Snap aggro is a weak arguement to roll SK

Cleric has blind x root. So do druids.

Warrior is great. Doesn't even need good gear. They are there so that the mob faces them and the rogues or rogue pets can stand behind the mob and afk.
