Wanna see dt which is doing regulary 2k+ dps tanking :>
What is your in game name? You're pretty delusional or just really desperate for attention or something. I know for a fact you haven't played with any Immortal Soul guards and I'm sure there are A LOT of other guards on the server who mostly just do in guild raids.
Simply put,
Guards do need a small bit more aggro to be able to at-least compete with DT's in certain fights. I don't think they need more dps, just a bit higher hate mod.
But few people realize what guards bring to the table. Call to arms brings a 15 second 40% melee increase to all melee to the group, and i'm sure it does something for magic, but I'm not sure. With a 1 min cool down, your looking at every 45 seconds having this huge affect for the group. Also, you have Battle Cry, which lasts 10 seconds with another 42% weapon increase every 45 seconds on cool down. Which gives you the affect every 35 seconds. In short, My assassin gets a bigger increase in dps than being grouped with a conq as far as in raids. Thus makes it the most ideal toon to be grouped up with in 6 mans or raids as far as dps is considered.
If you combine this with the fact that the gaurd still has the biggest burst threat/hate "over all aggro" potential in game, it really does make the class worth while.
I know everyone wants to only compare one aspect of the class's "dps potential" but you can't do that. You have to look at all capabilities of this class. The DT's do little to nothing for the group in terms of buffs. Yes, a small heal, but that's all that I know of.
Regardless, Yes, I do believe the Guards need a small increase in threat to be able to atleast save a DT who has or is going completely all out. But honestly, Guards still can hold off of DT's at the beginning of a fight. It's the high end raiding, and later in fights that DT's can really dominate the guard class. But even with this said, Guards are still able to hold off of any dps in the game. And this is the most important aspect of tanking.
As far as Conq's, I honestly think they are perfect in terms of dps/tanking capabilities. The class is a very strong class and is able to main tank anything in the game "given the gear is adequate". And even then, the Conq's aren't as dependent on gear as the Dt class. With the guard class still being the most ideal class in terms of gear dependency or lack their of. They are the most independent class in the game as far as that is concerned.
This thread makes so much sense... wait scratch that it does not. Quite frankly I don't think YOU have any idea of what a guard even can do which is clearly showing here, so enough said about that. Please send a tell to one of your very accurate top guardians of Set list and make them give you a few pointers. And for the love of god and Carney. Stop posting stuff on the forums
