Warriors are perfectFollow

My question really is, I guess, can you name me at least one encounter where a warrior specifically comes in handy? I'm not saying warriors can't tank stuff, but for nearly every encounter I can think off, a Death Knight, Druid or Paladin would do either an equal or better job. Warriors don't seem to be specifically good on any encounters in a similar way to how, say, Death Knights are good as off-tanks on Ignis because of CoI or how Druids make good tanks on Festergut because of the 80% DPS buff+cat form. Sometimes a Paladin is better than a Druid, while another time a Death Knight is better than a Paladin - but never does a Warrior actually seem a 'better' choice to me.

All of that is all fine and good, but it didn't answer the question I asked in my last post - none of the points you've named give your group a specific benefit for getting a warrior tank for encounter X. So I'll ask again; can (any of) you name me at least one encounter where having a warrior tank is specifically more beneficial than having a tank that is any other class?


Yes. Wasn't disagreeing with you on that. And the only thing is, I felt like it has been responded to already. We don't bring anything to the table that makes us the best at any specific fight. We can do any fight. Which some classes can't do as well on those fights. We are the tank-it-all class. So if you don't have 'the min/max best tank' setup, a warrior will do instead easily.


And honestly Mozared, I don't know why you get downrated. Have you made an enemy? I don't downrate people who make intelligent posts, even if I disagree with them (ok maybe once in a while, I'm no saint).

Ah! Now I see! That's as brilliant as it's simple! It gives the warrior class an edge of it's own without actually specializing him in a specific direction. Blizzard never ceases to amaze me - thanks for your responses =)

The only 'enemy' I can think of is Theo and while he may think I'm a worthless scrub, I doubt he's a karma camper =P. It might not be a coincidence though, I've had somebody downrate my posts in over a month old priest threads as well. Might give Word a PM. At least I'm glad I got a serious response and not a downrate with the message "you talked about karma lol".
