Thinking about playing on Phinny again for the latest expansions, but I really don't know how the SK or Warrior is during those expansions. I've played both classes at the low end and enjoy them both. How desierable are they currently on the server? Can either one fill any type of DPS role while not tanking?
No SKs are not at all dps anymore in DoDH on phiny. They are wanted however, it's hard to find good tanks while grouping and raiding on Phinny they're but very AA / gear dependant. Just roll chanter / cleric / bard to find easy groups / guilds.
Groups prefer SK to WAR when getting tanks. Also, SK have cool spells. I played a WAR and it was a slow, brutal, leveling experience. Roll WAR if you like to self-inflict pain.
Sounds like youre just playing with bad SK's then. It really just comes down if you want to be solely group reliant, and be the maintank in raids, or if you want to have a lot of flexibility, but will not as often tank raid encounters and be resigned to a lot of kiting for future expansions to come during raids. As for desirability, neither of them are particuarly high, at least compared to a lot of utility/healer classes. The servers desirability from least to greatest is basically DPS, tanks, utility adps(bst/bard), healers, then finally pure utility (chanters/shamans being the rarest) in most guilds.
