Tanks and Tankery

[Taeme]

My stealth abilities are nominal so I tend not to use them.  I’ve actually had warriors snap at me and tell me to play a rogue (meaning stealth over combat), not a fighter, even though I’ve pointed out they’re dying and I’m not, and I’m leveling faster than just about anyone else I know.

That's rather awful. I understand your pain. Warriors are basically next to Shaman in the book of 'people who suck' for me, but mostly because so many warriors seem either not know how to tank, or to strugle above all else to be dps in groups even though they're not suited to it.

Warriors are not dps, they're tank, but you're also a form of crowd control. Why should they be pulling stuff off you? Melee dps should be the one everyone is assisting. The warriors should be swapping targets to pull off stuff going after cloth, while everyone fires on what you're firing on, since you're cranking out the damage to keep solo aggro on you.

The best rogues I've grouped with have pulled with sap knocking out one guy then picked a target that we all pile on while the warrior (who is still very important!) keeps us squishies clothing from dying horribly. Well the other squishie clothies, I have 2.6k health@42...
