Still, what's the point of having dps in the group?Darth Solohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01110818057322485070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529183485378908367.post-6633531453881934772010-10-19T05:47:38.213-05:002010-10-19T05:47:38.213-05:00Before 4.0.1 I only tanked as warrior so I can'...Before 4.0.1 I only tanked as warrior so I can't speak for other tanks, but I can tell you this: whenever the healer agreed for big pulls, with thunderclap and cleave I out-dps-ed everyone in the party. <br />Instant AoE on big pulls is the reason tanks (or at least my tanks) have such high dps. So I don't know if it's due to 4.0.1 bugs/changes/whatever. (again I'm not referring to 80s, only leveling tanks) <br />On single-target boss fights it would be unusual tho for the tank to have the highest damage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529183485378908367.post-5213223892091513442010-10-18T19:00:28.879-05:002010-10-18T19:00:28.879-05:00P.S.

Worth mentioning here that I have no heirlooms and no enchants (it's my only character on that realm). To my surprise from RFC up to SM and RFD, I have yet to see a dps with higher damage than mine. The only times I'm out-dps-ed is when the tank is a full heirloom paladin. So I'm guessing when they say some classes are overpowered and others underpowered they refer to lvl 80 characters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529183485378908367.post-71912658289827447392010-10-16T00:32:04.056-05:002010-10-16T00:32:04.056-05:00I just got Scorch at level 26.

Of course I can't remember what level you get Scorch or Polymorph, so this may all be irrelevant to you :pAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
