SK T2 or T3 dps?

I understand all fighters are pretty much tanks but if SK was to slap on a 2H and dps would they be considered Tier 2 or Tier 3 dps?

Also is SK viable endgame damge?

A SK is a tank....The only spot they can fill is as a tank. If you have a group of friends and just want to have fun, then feel free to play the sk as a dps and let someone else tank, but you will never be taken seriously if you try to join a non-friend group as dps.

Don't rely on the "tier" system, cause honestly that relies on too many variables. The tier system assumes all toons are equally geared and equally played..... When you have someone who is a better, or worse player, no matter the gear, it skews the results. Also, if a better player has better gear, then regardless of the class, that better player will be doing better damage.

Bottom line. No SKs are not viable if used for endgame as a dps class. They make pretty good offtanks though.
