well gage i respect ur opinion greatly and i feel both sides on this-
but most of the bruisers and monks are real advocates for balance so ive noticed- and honestly- our class in its current state is highly unbalancing - 2nd dps behind a wiz as far as long term consistent dps is concerned and the best tanks up to scale so far... yeah- we are having our cake and eating it too right now -
im not asking for a nerf on anyone or anything of the sort - i actually hate the concept of full balance across the board in the mentality that a tank is a tank a healer a healer - caster a caster sort of deal - thins grps out and makes life fairly one sided. if a monk/bruiser is tanking - what do you need a guardian for- surely not the dps - and the buffs are easily replaced with a 2nd caster... raids are fine - but like i said earlier- thats less than 10% of the game!!!
so gage for you to say that guardians are working fine and they are the only ones who believe they should be fixed sounds more like a ploy for you to stay in the limelight as far as being the most rounded and preffered tank in your given environment. no disrespect but you wanted to be able to tank and im positive you wont give up ur dps in exchange for it... i for darn sure wouldnt= i didnt play this class personally to run exp grps and tank away
- i like the body guard roll as for watching the casters backs - keeping mobs off of them and tanking when things get hairy and weve got 3 mobs in grp and the MT is taking a beating faster than he can be healed - and if you look at our skill list - this is the roll that our skills say - we all know that soe is attempting to stick to thier word as a far as every class being in the warrior archetype being able to "tank". long term this will definately get old - think about it - i dont wanna say im a tank i just look different than tin head over there - so many of you would be over whelmed if they gave us 1 good AE taunt when a taunt is a taunt - ur not unique in style or play at that point - u look different from a plate- but you still look just like every other monk/bruiser on your server lol...
for that matter throw the enchanters a bone given that no one wants them for anything but buff machines- if you dont believe me ask one of the 10000 wizards and warlocks and beserkers runing around whos best attacks are AOE's...and they really just slow down combat in the presence of a wiz or warlock- why kill mobs 1 at a time when you can kill 5 at once??? pointless. same principle here- best dps and best tank 1-49 non raid??? thats right? and mr balance advocate is okay with that? come on give me a break- we know better
Oh I'm sorry that's not what I meant
