Would help a little but not much. Mobs are still going to hit like a freight train and it only gets worse as you advance thru the tiers.

That's just how much they hit for, no matter what the required-level of your gear is equipped.

Seriously, I still can't believe you admitted to dying 3 times in a T1 zone even with full defensive spec and a tower shield on rofl. 3? wtf. Even me in my shitty no name (lol) pvp guild didnt die that much.

You challenge me personally to a dps contest? rofl. talk about agreeing with me that it is possible to go offense/2h/buckler as that is the only way you will out parse me you fucking long toothed newb.

Meh I'm gonna leave the closed minded pve scrubs here to think what they will. I've got tokens to farm! Where is your blue ass Broncas!?

Honestly, I give credit to Saracen and his healers for tanking the stuff he has without a templar and in offensive specs.

It is amazing how much people blame the tank's gear and ability to stay alive in a raid. That is true to some extent, but i would say its about 90% fault of ur healers and about 10% fault of ur mt gear or skill, when it comes to staying alive.

Because a templar sure makes a big difference in T1 content. Shit, considering you can clear all of T1 content with 4 healers, I don't think it matters what kind of healers you take as long as there's a good balance of clerics, shamans, and druids.

I was trying to say that Saracen does know Guardian. Not talking about tanking T1 stuff in specific or shit.

But anyways if what u just said is true about healers in T1 that is pretty much proving his previous point, which Jarraxx and Skel are contending.

No jackass, i said he is a moron for talking shit about someones parse without posting his own. Glad they made a separate server for all the idiots to move to.


If you wanna e-peen wiggle then fine but you have to pull your shit out of your pants before you make fun of someone elses.
