I still don’t think the majority of you are parsing the difference between a red blade warrior and a pleb Ntov 2h knight on blues. Neither is touching a rogue let alone a charmed pet but the warrior isn’t doing great. Any difference might be a shaman pet…if that. This not saying which is better either, most properly geared 2h knights are smashing blues.
Meanwhile on a 30 second fight that’s maybe two spells which is almost no mana. You can pick the timing of when they land for ideal threat vs hoping for RNG which at maxed dex is 2ppm off the main hand or 1ppm in the same duration.
For generic grind and semi-raid use my pally has only had me wishing I had a warrior twice: Bro Z and the General in Kith. Both situations where adding a healer fixes the problem. If I had a warrior instead of a paladin I’d be fine with that too. Being able to use a ratio 2h for low threat dps is a nice hat trick even if tanking non-Lord/Lady stuff would be more ice skating than with a knight.
TBH, out of a bit of raid insecurity I’ve considered finishing the warrior as well. The knight doesn’t bring as much to the table other than trash tanking and SF clicks. Since then I’ve leveled up a bane wiz and cleric, both having even less dkp in them than my paladin let alone any properly equipped warrior. I’m sure I’ll finish the warrior eventually but I’ve just never seen a problem we couldn’t solve with a knight not involving a CH chain of more than 2 people.
