The game has turned into a default all out DPS contenst between dps classes and tanks and even some healer classes that only have to heal minor times during the fight and can dps most of the fight. With a decent crusader tank my inqy only has to put up 1 reactive and then can go balls to wall dps rest of fight on multiple trash mobs too. Heals not needed. I can do the same on my guard in lessor TSO zones with good grp too but generally most guardians cannot do this. Part is a misunderstanding of how to play the class and the rest is a continued over reliance on other classes for hate - especially the need for a dirge and coercer and swashy/assassin if avail.
In this sense we have been replaced by the other plate tanks. We will have to wait for the new AA tables to see what the future of the guardian community holds: Four more months and we will recieve our answer - I expect that we will see fewer and fewer heroic tanking guardians if guardians are defualted back as the only logical MT choice but I do not think that will ever be the case again.
dps = teh fun
Its not going to change from the dps focus, cause if it does, its the death of the game. For far too many people, this is the enjoyment of the game, its been this way too long and people are not going to adapt this late in a game.
Its my opinion that if you are a guard and you don't have the level 80 alt ready to go for SF yet, well, you've got 3 more months to get it ready.
When we all start over on the same starting point, remaining a guard will be an exceptionally poor decision.
