Quote:You know, I was going to provide an even, reasoned response, but you're getting so grossly insulting that I can't bring myself to do it. You're not even implying it - you are flat out accusing me of lying. What benefit would I accrue by lying to you? I don't want to beat you down with credentials, I'd much rather do so by explaining why druids are better, but I don't know whether you're inclined to listen. Is there anything I can say which will make you believe me? Because whenever I relate an experience I've had raiding, you say I'm lying. What basis you have for such outrageous accusations, I don't know, since you clearly haven't seen the encounters yourself.

Ask Tal, ask Mav, ask any of the Lurkers around here who know me. I don't lie about encounters, and certainly (and verifiably, go search) not on this forum. I'm telling you the truth - would you like to hear it?

You said this:

Quote:Two prot warriors is basically the max for any encounter in SSC/TK, to fulfill the "get-beat-on-by-main-boss" requirement of the fight. For all the rest of the tanking, a warrior would struggle or be outright incapable of pulling it off. When you want something for the boss to target, a warrior is the best choice. For everything else, go druid, and in some cases paladin.

From WoWwiki:

Al'ar
Quote:Three to four tanks need to stand relatively close on those spots and run with the boss when he switches position and goes to a spot that is near them, effectively intercepting him
....
Each time Al'ar switches position, he will summon 3 adds that need to be offtanked away from the rest of the raid and dpsed down as soon as possible (before the boss is able to summon more). A feral druid should be able to handle them easily, they don't hit very hard but once they are killed they explode for quite a lot fire damage so healers need to be on their toes and react fast.

So 3-4 tanks for the boss and heavy magic damage from the adds. Yet you claim a third warrior would struggle or be incapable here

Void Reaver
Quote:Use 3-4 tanks on him building threat

High Astromancer Solarian

Heavy arcane damage fight. Druids lack Arcane resists and Paladins lack life and Warriors have an innate spell damage advantage that can be augmented further by talents

Kael'thas Sunstrider

Heavy fire damage fight. Druids lack Arcane resists and Paladins lack life and Warriors have an innate spell damage advantage that can be augmented further by talents


No one is suggesting you're deliberately lying but I honestly think that your desire to win this argument is preventing you from being objective
