We are the best AOE DPS class currently with our mythical we were not before mythical. Not to say that doesnt change with the up coming expantion again. Zerker have the Highest Damage potential out of any of the Fighter class IMO, but Monks still out dps us by a lot in single target fights. We do high end tier 2 dps in single target encounters - Monks can do mid range to high tier 1 dps.
If you remember back to DOF guardians had the suck dps they couldnt even solo for gods sake decently, up until they got our auto attack table they were never even consider close to dps, but they were still considered the better raid tank. As for guardians struggling to keep aoe aggro yes it is true they do not have the same AOE dps as we do, but as far as holding mobs they are just fine. Reinforcement + agilty line FTW, 40% chance to gain 1 hate postion on up to 4 mobs in front of them ever like what min and half. So again compared to us right now yeah we are better, but again they arnt that bad off with the current content. When you start to see more than 4 mob aoe encounters what they lack in AOE aggro will show, but then again out mythical only hits 4 mobs to so we will have to start acutally using our AOE attack, lowering our single target dps and possible loosing aggro on the main target. Bottum line guardian are the Kings of defensive tanking they should be at the opposite end of the DPS sepectrum than the offensive fighters.
I agree completly with what we as a class need and that is why I ask Aerlik to talk about what he is doing with our class. However I have never viewed Sk's Personally as AOE tanks and it just seems to me again that they are parting out more of our class traits to fix other classes.
