cause we were talking about group tanks dude. and I have played MT for a successful guild back in t6 and quit t7 and then came back, what I am saying is brawlers should not be raid tanks. WHATS NEXT they gonna let brigands and swashies tank too?
And why is that? you can DPS just fine if you set yourself up for it, so a Brawler tank that is set up for tanking should be able to tank just as well.
Okay I normally don't jump into pointless conversations particularly those between bruisers and guards and tanking. But this has got to be the funniest thing I've ever heard. I don't mean that as a slight against you Dananeb it's just that this mind set goes against every thing I've ever thought of in regards to having different fighter classes. Saying that a Bruiser should be able to tank just as well as a Guard is just like saying that an Inquisitor should be able to do as much dps as a Fury. Our classes are on opposite ends of the fighter spectrum. I agree that you should be able to tank and tank well but saying that you should be able tank just as well as a Guard is over the edge.
I am a Guard, I have lower dps, lower survivability, and lower soloability built in to my class in exchange for being the best raid tank in the game. I don't want FD, heals, or high dps. I just want to tank. I have no problem with any other class tanking but to be able to tank just as well as me.... I'm sorry but that would be a serious flaw in the game.
Well EoF is here... will the Guard survive? Sure it will but the role outside of raids and perhaps in them is becoming increasingly smaller.
Come to think of it Vanguard is looking better every day. Not because of the game play or classes but because I've yet to see one person whining on their boards about how their class should be able to do what all the other classes do. Just out of curiosity Dananeb, are you [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn]ing on the Pally boards that they can heal better than you?
I've already show you previously in this post about Guardians that parse very high when the AA's are not concentrated on tanking but DPS, so why should'nt it be possible for a Brawler to tank equally when his AA's are geared towards tanking?
