Warriors are useless in 90% of the games content

Just your average Vindi.

Obviously the puller roots part of the pull on top off pathing nodes so you can pull even more mobs without leaving camp, but I feel I’m getting a little off topic discussing pulling strategies in this particular thread and look forward to picking it up in a more relevant one.

DSM has never been in one of my XP groups.

I was an animal.

Highest hp?
Check!

Highest baseline mitigation?
Check!

3 full minutes of god mode per 7 minutes (43% uptime)?
Check!

Superior damage tables?
Check!

Innate mainhand triple attack at 60 (oh so sweet with a 2 hander)
Check!

Doesn’t need a bunch of extra mana buffs to rock out with cock out?
Check!

Grab a cheap Frostreaver from Dain and you will have both superior threat and dps. For all other situations where you didn’t even need the threat proc substitute in a ToV 2 hander for damage output unimaginable by a knight.

For the record I don’t think I have ever parsed a dps output difference in or out of evasive. If it exists at all it is not really noticeable.

Paladins specifically are quite useful in less than ideal groups or when hunting with mouth breathers. They do have an actually useful spell kit that covers a wide range of abilities and roles. Honorable mention for paladins.

Shadowknights mostly just suck compared to either other tank class for 95% of content. For 4 of the remaining 5% they are comparably useful. For that last 1% they really only add value cause FD … but 2 other classes can do that too … so just skip the SK and bring a monk instead.

That’s ok though. This game isn’t hard and even scrub classes like SKs can be wildly successful. Heck … I bet SKs who didnt even know there was a FD fail message will manage to win at this game. It really isn’t hard.

As a maxed out DPS rogue I don't care who tanks something, as long as they do.
Warriors are pretty good. I do like their DPS. I prefer knights in HoT and NToV clears for immediate sieve / slows, but it honestly doesn't matter at all if you adjust appropriately. If the person tanking is capable of tanking the thing, then they can tank the thing.

I like bow questing on my warrior with the gleed bow

[Sonark]

I don't understand how much XP you guys think you need if you have a Warrior or knight class so well-equipped you need to have constant pulling, all the time, everywhere.

[Troxx]

I can’t speak for anyone but myself but outside of raids …

If I am horsing around doing dumb shit solo and die, I will frequently just run back and loot without bothering to find a rez. I enjoy the xp loss at some level because it gives me reasons to log in that don’t involve batphones

Unlike Troxx, I admit when I make a mistake, or didn't know something. Troxx cannot do this. Instead, he tries to attack other posters to try and appear correct. Just look at his signature and location.

Unfortuately he hasn't done anything to show why Warriors are better than SK's for group content. Nor will he do so, as proving his points with facts and logic isn't his style.
