With a "normal" tanking build for DT ...yeah your guard can swap aggro with the DT that was never the problem. When the DT specs for full on DPS and is pushing 2200 DPS dishing out all his hate tools ..YOU WILL NOT..YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HOLD AGGRO. If you can hold aggro through that please send me the hax you are using, thanks. Also, if you think a DT doing more DPS then a DPS class isn't a problem then AT LEAST make it so that the DT will die in 2~3 hits..you know to BALANCE things out. As of now, they are SOLOTANKING Raid BOSSES while doing this insane damage... doesn't anyone else see how broken this is?! It feels like I'm taking crazy pills!
The main point is DTs can tank just as well as a guard BUT HAS 3-5 TIMES THE DPS WHILE DOING IT. THIS . IS. A. PROBLEM.
Yep this topic is really going places.
I really love this game I really do. But, lets all clear the table for one second and start fresh. Think to yourself, "Hey, this crazy guy (and others) who keeps obssessing over this ...may just be seeing something in Raids (and ALL 6mans) that is JUST NOT RIGHT." Open your mind to the possibility that just MAYBE that an ALL-ONE Class that can do as much damage as a Rogue, Tank as well as a Guard, and heal itself..MAYBE might be a bit overpowered, and detracts from the enjoyment of other players.
This last bit is key. I've never quit a game because of class balance issues (after all just roll up one of the OP classes)...but this class makes such a mockery of all the other classes it makes me sick..I'm not even paying attention to loot rolls anymore rather I immediately go to ACT and throw up.
Sometimes, I discovered in MMO's through fault or accident a "apex" class can appear, a class that is just outright better then everything out there, not by a little but by so much it detracts from the foundational roles of other classes. The DT is one of these classes, and it's single-handedly destroying the enjoyment of playing other classes.
Hey, what about POMs or ToSes that do more dps than demos? xD
