It's not that warrior DPS is high, it's that Sony keeps beating us senseless with nerfs. I seriously can't remember the last boost we were given beyond "Fixing" Broodlings.
dont know what boosts we need honestly. I believe the class is pretty much fine the way it is. AE fights we shine and single target fights we still are near the top. Don't know what more you want really.
I beg to differ. A lot depends on your group setup and the mobs, but a Berserker that knows his stuff can easily keep up with a Warlock's dps, even in a zone like VOES with linked mobs.I've seen Guardians and Bruisers dish out massive dps. Granted those players had good gear, but so do most of us in our guild.Fact is, every class has DPS now really coz "everybody has to be equal in soloing content" and that's where it went wrong imo, this is an MMO, not a FPS game.
Untrue the real reason why tanks are showing up as having high dps is that they have to do high dps because the tanking mechanics in this game are borked taunts are worthless and 1 point of damage equals 1 point of hate so that tank has to be able to put out comparable dps numbers to the dps classes in a group or he can't tank. Thats why most tanks are off stancing even in raids now. Also the Stamina Warrior line is overpowered compared to the other lines and all the warriors are going cookie cutter build because of it. Also keep in mind tanks dps is a lil easier to do as currently their boosting their auto-attack like crazy with double attack procs and crit increases while the lock has only his spells to create his dps really so any kind of lag occurring will vastly impact your dps over theirs as some of it is automated. basically high end gear benefits non casters more than it ever benefits casters comparatively which is why casters need to prioritize spell quality over equipment. And now that 80 tanks are picking up their epics their dps is going to go up way way higher now while ours uhh...yeah thats another thread.

Why is what I said untrue?English is not my first language, but to me you're saying the same thing.Making use of the current status of the game, be it borked or overpowered AA-lines, weapons, gear.... is considered knowing your class and knowing what you're doing.
