At 55 the enchanter in your KC pug with a hasted, charmed drolvarg is going to put out like ~200 dps by himself. The contribution of a Warrior's dps compared to a Knight's is not going to be noticeable by a single person. What's actually going to help that pug be extremely efficient is the Paladin who has utility that a Warrior simply doesn't bring to the table in group settings: like instant snap aggro, front-line CCs with root parking, stuns, heals, buffs, LoH in an oh shit moment, etc.

Thank you everyone for responding and sharing your valuable input. Another question to ask as well... On P99 server, which class is more common/rare between the SK and Warrior? I'd also be leaning more towards the class that there are less of. I rather stay away from the tank class that there are already too many of.

First: assume all groups have well-played enchanters
Second: forget warriors have half the perks you mention for paladins Conclusion: Paladins R gud | ||

The only thing delusional is how greatly you are exaggerating the utility a warrior's melee dps vs SK/pal in group settings. There's a reason the overwhelming majority of PUGs prefer the tank role be filled by a knight, it's because group content is for the most part steamrolled and the damage output of a warrior vs sk/pal in those situations simply does not make a significant difference in group efficiency. What does make a significant difference in efficiency is being able to quickly and reliably generate aggro (aka the primary role of a tank in group) which SK/pal excel at and Warriors struggle with in comparison. Not to mention Paladins having an extremely versatile toolkit in groups that a war doesn't without the aid of clickies. It's not even close, Paladins are superior group tanks in every single way imaginable.

The worse the group is the better a paladin is. The better a group is the better a warrior is. It is not accurate to say paladins are better group tanks in every single way imaginable. There are many scenarios (50+) that a warrior is going to do better.

Sounds like you are trying as desperately as you can to justify your subpar class. I'd take a well geared and well played warrior in most groups over a Paladin. Unless I was playing my monk in which case none of those classes would be tanking.

Something I've remembered is that poor aggro is more of a kunark era problem for warriors.
With Velious out for so long the weapons market is much more friendly to warriors now, no longer needing to compromise on ratio or proc. | ||
