The gap in DPS is noticed in your smaller groups (lets just talk trios and quads for scope). Duo is different because it depends on your partner. For instance, pally is great w/ necro and enchanter for instance because you essentially play like a support char to the charmed pets. But if you're a cleric you're gonna take that war w/ truncheon and vyemm whip all day, every day, no questions asked. Don't get me started on shaman, its not even close. Let's not focus on duos.

There are so many variables you could skew together to make a weak argument for knights, but if you're with competent people there is basically zero real-world instances where you want a pally/SK over a war...and this gap gets massive with the bloat gear of end velious where level 50 wars are rocking 41% haste and near BiS weapons.

I'm not talking about farming King at 60. That can be duo'd / trio'd with a number of combos. Normal XP groups that are not mob/spawn-capped where you're trying to chew through as many kills an hour as possible...you're taking the war all day er'day unless they're in total rags with shit weapons...which doesn't exist really on P99 these days.

Build your best trio / 4 man group compositions for XP. None of them include knights (let's face it its cleric + 2x/3x enchanter but lolcharm). It just gets worse starting at 52 w/ evasive for those "oh fuck" moments when your overzealous puller YOLOs 7 toughies.

Knights aren't bad...but war is just so far ahead.

Fortunately there are still people playing p99 that are absolute dogshit at this game. Knights help here.

Yea, knights can dps. Would like to see some parses of wars running circles around them.

Ehh if I'm goin into the deepest darkest corners of this game in a trio im taking a SK all day. Probably one of the few areas they shine. There's probably like 1-2 mobs that you can actually trio that actually require a war disc.

At this point in the timeline, there isn't that much of a DPS gap between warriors and knights unless the knight is pointlessly using sword and board in content that doesn't require it. The damage tables have been updated and warrior DPS is only slightly higher. When you take into account the fact that people can't just DPS/debuff freely at will with a warrior tank, any edge that class might have had goes right out the window. Whenever a warrior doesn't have a statistically improbable number of weapon procs within a given span of time, it's mathematically impossible for people to go all out from the start of a fight, and that costs the group more in efficiency than can ever be gained by the tank doing 10% more DPS. That's without even getting into the added utility of knights, of which warriors bring literally nothing whatsoever besides auto-attack.

I used to duo and trio a lot. Im definately a max xp/pp an hr type of guy for non raid play. It's not about requireing a war for which mobs. It's overall clearing power and ease of difficulty. War/cle/enc is dream trio for 1-60 and post 60

For serious, warriors have a place in groups where you dont have other melee so snap aggro isn't an issue. statics are a great example

[Snaggles]

Even outside zerk with a 2h and offensive discs warriors put down really insane numbers. You just have to have spare warriors who aren’t tanking to do that.

Casually off disc they are a bit up on the average knight.

[elwing]

Which is not the majority of the groups/spots... But the min/max discussion is ridiculous, because in the best small group there's no room for warrior nor for sk, plain and simple...

[Toxigen]

enc / war / shaman with war perma zerk tanking with something like eashen 2 hander (no need for aggro) is pretty nutty for XP trio - its not going to beat 2x enc / cleric, but if you HAVE to include a tank class its gonna be war over knights any day unless your composition is / players are pure ass

bigly if zone has a good rogue mob for the enc, war can do the legwork of positioning merbs for backstabbystabs

also root exists therefore a warriors lack of snap aggro is basically moot
