EXACTLY! the best furies r the ones who got the balance thing goin on & know WHEN to heal & NOT nuke & know when it's OKAY to nuke. ive known furies who r like OMG dps? r u serious? dude, we're healers, NOT nukers. ive also known them to be like OMG heal? what? but i got nukes! *sigh* THOSE r the types that give furies a bad name. hell, there's even a guildie of mine who's had BAD experiences with the nuker furies so she hated them. then i showed her that NOT all r TOTALLY nuke happy. i personally getta high outta fluctuatin between the dps parse 1 fight (only cause i was poppin up hots & hibernate in between nukes as a safeguard even though nobody was needin healed) & the heal parse on the next because we were fightin a mob that did call for MASSIVE healin. there's a healthy balance between the 2 when playin a fury, a lot just dont see it that way.

I'll just put up a reactive and then cast all my dps spells. Makes it look like I'm doing something.

I hate brigands who go the stamina line to tank. Bugs the piss out of me. I'm literallly pissing right now I'm so bugged. Roll a brawler if you want to be a 'wannabe' tank for christs sake.

dont start busting on dps druids or else Sapphyre will get on your ass =-P, but thats exactly the point.

Now, what about classes like that that would take items that do purely dmg enhancement loot that a actual dps could use for like 10x the effect

LOL, I did do this with my brigand alt, believe me I didn't want to. I play in one of those "hated" family type guilds, I don't raid with her ever. Our guidie who was supposed to be the plate tank for that group decided to leave the game for a bit. I now trio with a wizzy and a cleric so was automatically thrown into the "tank" position. If we ever get that slow ass group to 70 I want to respec her back because I'm a rogue damn it!!! It did make a big difference unfortunately.

People ranked high on my list:
1.Shadowknights/Paladins that are purely spec'd for dps and practice increasing their dps religiously ( I don't know why but this really pisses me off ).
2. Paladins that are spec'd for healing (you're a tank, tank shit).
3. Furies that dps instead of healing (and end up at 1% of overall heals on the heal parse or close to *given example*)
4. Wardens that try to dps instead of heal ( /cut yourself now if you're one of those).

Sk's for dps? wth with our Guardian and Zerker counterparts, you REALLY think they are gonna let us tank Avatars/Mayong/Wuoshi? Were much better as dps/debuffers in raid cause you go in swinging in defensive mode with all this +def and a 1hr you will do 1/10 of the dmg a dps spec'd can put out. Seriously when was the last time you saw a Sk from SD,NPU etc. tank the high end shit that they just got to

Sk rocks as an offtank, seriously it's scary how good they made us. I don't think of myself as an MT at all, I can do the job, but with nowhere near the efficiency of a warrior. Sk's who gimp themselves into being "dps" and mediocre buffbots are tards.

The thing is a Sk can never get to the level of mit as Guards, yes we can hold aggro better then ne other class, esp if you do something with some dps, but well never be MT to main raids. Yes im set up for dps, but i can also go into MMCastle and be 1-2 top dps'r and get through the entire zone pretty easy. You need that right combo of Tank to Dps and a lot of the time they are mix'd together. Esp the hate line im hating for us cause its useless, we get MORE then enough aggro if u know how to play right, and the grp Amends ends up hurting a raid more then helping
