<DIV>I've been reading these boards for some time and decided to finally post, been playing MMO's since eq1 first came out.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I guess I don't understand how folks can want a class to be what it isnt.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>-Guardians gave up doing real damage to tank high end content better than anyone else</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>-Berserkers gave up some mitigation to be able to deal more damage</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>-Monks and bruisers gave up mitigation for the ability to deal out damage and for group utility</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>-Pally's and Sk's gave up some dps and mitigation for additional utility and heals</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> I'm all for making everyone equal in everyday adventuring, but don't guardians give up some things to be able to soak damage better than anyone else? The differences in the classes are pointed up when dealing with heavy duty mobs where the hp's and mitigation are the only thing that allows you to survive.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> I'm wondering how soe plans to balance avoidance and mitigation, if avoid equals out with mitigation on high end raid content won't we be back in the same boat as before when monks/ bruisers/ scouts couldn't be hit at all by normal mobs? I'm sure we all remember when all the mobs were juiced.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> With the new changes being bandied about I'd love to see some monk/bruiser/sk/pally/guar/berserker changes that would enable 2 tanks to work together more efficiently so that 2 skilled cooperating tanks could reinforce each other's abilties. I'd like to see a time where 2 tanks are actually needed in a group to kill a boss mob.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> I play a 30 monk, 35 guard, 22 Templar, and 22 Illusionist was just wondering if I was missing something</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <P>Message Edited by Wusah on <SPAN class=date_text>04-15-2005</SPAN> <SPAN class=time_text>08:32 PM</SPAN></P><p>Message Edited by Wusah on <span class=date_text>04-15-2005</span> <span class=time_text>08:52 PM</span>
