Warriors:

draw and maintain threat better than lancers
have higher defense when glyphed correctly
can apply an awesome debuff and still allow room for three full dps in party
do not try to kick berserkers
look really cool when fighting/tanking
can be easier to heal if they know how to dodge
can round up groups of mobs better for big aoe nuking
are in plentiful supply
awesome synergy with sorcerers
tank better while pumping out dps
make the game more challanging/fun when they miss a dodge or turn a boss onto the healer
can take a quite a beating even if they miss a dodge
can attack while maintaining huge damage reduction with some skills (I'm up to 70%)

and more.....

Discuss.

But are still not a viable tanking class in its state.

LOL at kicking berserkers

Sorry, when I said discuss I of course meant only post if you agree with my opinion, and even better add some more of the many positives for taking a warrior over a lancer for tanking, cheers.

Get one shot by HM bosses! <troll> But who would kick a Berserker? I love having them along as a Lancer.

It's not like getting drops is hard in Tera.

I feel bad for zerkers, it's true - Lancers being total drama queens, love to kick zerkers out so they don't have to roll for gear.

OOOOOH, I GOT THIS!



1) They make the game more challenging for everyone.

I'm 57 and my best groups have all been with Warrior tanks. Use 3 range dps to avoid melee dying from boss and toss in a mystic and bosses drop fast. I find it sad that I can drop a 96k crit on a boss a warrior is tanking and not pull aggro but anything over 40k with a lancer and the boss turns to me.

Bad lancer misses a block, it dies. Warrior misses a dodge, it's higher stam gives it a second chance for heal (usually). The classes are both great, as long as the player knows how to play them. I've used warrior tanks, last one was in golden Labyrinth. He wasn't even very good, but we still got through pretty easily. I realize it's only lvl 50 mobs there, but still.

Because Warriors make it super easy to get back attacks! Oh wait... nvm.
