Anyone can play it sure. Anyone can play any class. I'm talking about playing to the extent that is top end and has people complaining to nerf it. Joe blow with decent/average gear and skill isn't going to do anything significant to have people crying for nerfs. Somebody with endgame gear in a hardcore guild playing the class to its potential isn't the norm and shouldn't be used as a point to argue nerfs.

Yea, you're probably right for the most part. My numbers are just for illustration, and I have seen guardian parses of 48k dps (with no shield btw), but then again... I've seen shadowknight parses of 80k dps and the more mobs there are, the more the gap widens. Hell, the more mobs there are, the more survivability crusaders have compared to guardians.

As far as the gear and group setup comparison (let's be real, EQ2 is easy to play and requires only basic generic gaming skills and average intelligence), the further you get away from end-game gear/group setups/epic mobs the more significant the imbalances between tanks becomes.

there is examples that many people don't take into account which are basic tools like cure pots, food/drink, ammo, temp potions, quested clickies etc that really do make a bit of difference in how well someone plays their class which is generally the difference i see. it's not difficult to point out a plate tank wearing leather and moaning that they need more survivability in order to compete against a raid geared main tank.
knowing that stats have mousovers should be pretty self explanatory. unlike "dude, how come you have 230% crit and only 45% double attack, 7% crit bonus and 5% potency?"

agree with ya, on the other tools certainly, My zerker is a 90 provi, 450tinker, and I have a 90alc (my 90coercer). In addition, I have keep item I find with some sort of clicky effect that might be useful: manastone, fear charm from SoF, earring of solstice, hadden's earring, and sharpening stones to name a few.
And general knowledge of the game does go a long well, akin to your second paragraph.

This is why "nerf" posts are not appreciated nor allowed here. They turn into a bickering fest.
This is now closed.
