SK vs WAR

[Splorf22]

What I wanted was for some log parses, i.e. SK with X gear tanking Y mob, vs Warrior with Z gear tanking the same Y mob, and the relative amount of dps in and dps out they did. So far no one has delivered.

Well, not everyone has parsing programs, two level 60 equally equipped toons, and the time. The question was also sort of vague.

Sorry we couldn't be more helpful. Even an objective "per gear" analysis is almost impossible due to varying mobs, play style, and so-on. In an average grind group I would say it's a 20%ish advantage in taking/delivery damage to the warrior at least. I would add more examples/opinions but they sure aren't pie graphs.

Does the SK have a shield? Are you counting lifetaps and procs as dps/mitigation?

OK reading that post again it sounded a little snippy. I was just hoping that at some point a high level SK and a Warrior had been in a group together and recorded a log.

No worries. Same here and I was rambling. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The main difference on mitigation/dmg will be sustainability for the sk. There are far more variables than the warrior on gameplay alone. Chain casting, 2h, and pet is a different class than shield and aggro only. Discs (mostly defensive) are what makes the warrior noticeably better.

Sorry logs aren't more plentiful. I'll send a pm if I can find them elsewhere.

SK is better on this server since WAR taunt is broken.

SK better offensively and for aggro control.

WAR better raid tank and that's about it.

Taunt is not broken. It used to be. I can pull a mob off in 2 taunts from a stun procing monk or a slow casting shaman without issue. Yes that is before I proc my Ringed mace.
