<DIV>Why would I want to provide inferior dps while another "tank" class tanks the mob and does less dps because he is cycling taunts/buffs to hold aggro?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Since we are the lowest on the fighter dps tree (guardian) why not just put us to tank so you can probably do equal or more dps than guardian (not tanking) and non-guardian (tanking) combined?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Are you non-guardians actually calling for every fighter class to do the same dps, same damage avoidance or absorption rate? Currently as it stand I thought all tanks could tank almost everything, with very few exceptions which were of recent starting to be tanked by non-guardians now.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Ive been reading all the posts, and all it seems like to me is they aren't even asking for equality, they don't bother to consider that if all the tanking abilities were evened out there would be other lacking departments which would make the guardians the least preferred over a group. I don't care what you "think" about that, it's true. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Defensive/avoidance buffs on a non-guardian main tank in group? I laugh at you. See my first sentence.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I'll state what someone else has stated before, the only time I get invited into a group that already has a tank is because they are friends/guildmates or there is absolutely no one available at all and even then I end up becoming the main tank 50% of the time in said group because of my skills at aggro management and my consistent mitigation.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I have seen gage asking for 2 distinct things among these numerous posts......one day he's asking for his class to perform as well as a guardian in tank mode but wants to keep all his other class bonuses, the next day he's asking for every fighter class to be a cookie cutter template, basically the same in every way except in class name.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Then he goes on to tell us our class is broken to get it fixed.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Which is it today? Supermonk? monk=guardian=bruiser=berserker</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>or are you really trying to be just like my broken class you claim we are?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>You keep flip flopping reasons, excuses, you tell many guardians how to play their class after insulting them telling them they don't know [expletive ninja'd by Faarbot] they are doing. You seem to be the center of all knowledge for all classes on our boards.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>One thing is consistent tho, you are lobbying for monks to be "made better". your reasoning/arguing skills are lacking tho, it's obvious you are just saying whatever comes to mind to keep the posts going and the discussion visible to the devs so that hopefully someone looks in your direction and mistakenly listens to what you are saying. You have no obvious direction other than "make monks better". Other than that you are ALL OVER the board concerning class balance and mainly raid tanking which I believe was the main point of the original post.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I really wish another monk with more reasoning/people skills had taken up the fight you are trying to win, it's getting to the point where people see your name on a post and take a deep breath knowing they are about to read a bunch of [expletive ninja'd by Faarbot].</DIV>
