My point exacty Tman. Subii isn't a cut above so much as he's playing the class as intended. IS, TEG, RA, RN, ACo's all have dt's who play like this.
And Guards can't keep up with them. that is the very point I'm making. No matter what a guard does the DT will be ahead of them. Ya, maybe guards will do better against boss's who have shields etc, but that isnt as common.
Anyway, back to point. Dt > Guard and Guards need some love.
Guards: Schou/Schoujr, DT: Mycroch, Conq: Kenfast, Barb: Sonofcronus, Sin's: Crazyassin/Daggerdick, Hox: Scorchnburn, Demo: Touchofdeath, Tos: Enslaveu, BS: Meballs
You substituting the idea of what we are discussing here.
We aren't debating if T4 can be main tanked by just guards, or just DT's.
We are debating the fact that DT's can out aggro Guards without an issue at all.
But while we are on the subject of only guards in your raid. Answer me this, If both can main tank it np, would you rather have a toon doing 2k dps, or 1 doing 500? Or what about combat rezes. What does the guard have now that's unique to it's class? Anything?
Answer is no!
Guards: Schou/Schoujr, DT: Mycroch, Conq: Kenfast, Barb: Sonofcronus, Sin's: Crazyassin/Daggerdick, Hox: Scorchnburn, Demo: Touchofdeath, Tos: Enslaveu, BS: Meballs
please don't lump all Americans in with schou... that is fighting words.
bottom line is all three soldiers aggro levels are completely balanced. DTs at times reach that point when they get a particularly nice string of vom procs and they're a pain to pull off of but since their survivability is tied to their dps it is tough for them to lose aggro without dying. that is the art of the dt... doing enough dps to get your taps really going without going too hard which forces you to stop combos and drop like a sack of ****.
the only tank job in all of t4 where dts really outshine the other two is zodiac and that's IF your spirit is stacked right and IF your dt knows what he is doing.

this thread is full of fail guards are great tanks already, sure feat trees and combo damage could use some tweaking.
but there is not a single issue with guards having lower hand in agro compared with dt/conq.
