Haven't posted here in a while, but I did want to mention that last night one of my warrrior guildies lvl 44 was grouping with me in PoA helping me with some of the quests from the area. We'd fight one of the lvl 44 2 dots which were hard for me at lvl 38 and at about half life he get off his chain and consistently killed the mob doing anywhere from 15 to 20k damage.
I said how crazy it was and he pointed out that I can solo red 3 dots and white 4 dots where can't do anything past a 2 dot.
While I enjoy the fact that the more mobs I'm fighting at once actually increases my chance of survival in a fight, I picked my class because I wanted to play a fun tank in a group environment who had enough utility to tank any type of mob instead of specialize against any one type.
Also the description of DC had me drooling.
The point is my highest hits are about 5k and that's with legendary. Even if he was 6 levels higher than me, the DPS he was generating over me was rediculous. Add that to the fact he has 7k hp unbuffed compared to my 4k and far more mitigation, I'm having a hard time believing I'm actually going to get to tank over him come raid time.
I don't mind losing the DPS match to a Warrior for the added utility I get. But I signed up to be a DK because it was stated we are not going to be EQ SK clones and we would be able to tank just as well as a Warrior and Paladin.
I don't think the answer is the nerf Warriors though. For Pallies you can give them better stuns or heals maybe and DK's just give us maybe a more powerful DoT and more powerful Debuffs. Or even make our symbols more useful/powerful.
