Warriors are useless in 90% of the games content

The answer is bring a monk if you want a melee, that's not what this thread is about though

Warriors are just fine. For the hardest content they are more or less a requirement. For everything else 3 minute evasive on a 7 minute cooldown while doing badass dps is cool too.

Indeed. People should invite Warriors into their groups. They can operate just fine as a tank.

People also need to know what the strengths/weaknesses of Warriors are, so they know what to expect when inviting a Warrior. Unfortunately Warriors do have a number of weaknesses that take more effort to overcome in a group scenario.

Knights are better than Warriors in group content that doesn't require Warrior discs due to their added utility. Same with Monks. It's easier to form low number groups when each class has more functionality, as one player can fill multiple roles.

Can Shaman be the main tank? Are they arguably better at it than Warriors?

oh shit here we go again dot jpg

you can keep a warrior up more easily than a knight, and FD/lull aside I don't see the added utility. that warrior better be raid geared though otherwise I'm inviting the monk.


I'm never inviting the knight.

FD, Lull and Snap Agro are generally better than an ok DPS bump in a game with DPS diminishing returns like P99. Especially when most P99 characters are overgeared for the content.

Most content isn't designed around characters having end game weapons and 34%+ haste items. This is why you don't see 6 player groups that often. The DPS increase of more players does not yield the group more XP. The extra utility Knights provide allow more options for low number groups, which are more efficient.

Nor do I see scenarios where a bit of extra tankiness was needed on content that doesn't need Warrior discs. Lifetaps, heals, fear, and root are all tools that can be used when needed.
