Well if the devs themselves have come out and said that "2H tanks are dps", without asking the community or "using the balance forums"
Irregardless of how many times people have told them no they are not
Then shouldnt 2h tanks perform like dps?

I probably agree with that. Certain 2h tank builds are absolutely fearsome in 1v1 (e.g., they will beat mdps in 1v1). I also agree there is a lot of dishonesty around the damage output with 2handed tanks and how effective they are. I have seen 2handed tank and mdps combos not quite two man warbands, but kill a great deal of zerglings before being taken down, so I can understand where you are coming from here.wargrimnir wrote: ↑Tue Sep 10, 2019 7:35 pm The dishonesty around what a "DPS tank" is trying to be is staggering. Stop pretending, it's embarrassing. If you want to pick up a 2h weapon and go full DPS spec at least have some pride about it. Don't dance around pretending like you're a proper tank trying desperately to fill a tanking role when you're clearly not. It's okay. Others might hate you, but we believe in you. Be strong! DPS tanks are cool with us! They're just not... quite... Tanks.
This sounds like a straw man argument. What when you use a 2hand and don´t go full dps, but more support role?wargrimnir wrote: ↑Tue Sep 10, 2019 7:35 pm The dishonesty around what a "DPS tank" is trying to be is staggering.

The general point that 2handed tanks, even KotBS, can be very effective DPS, and it is often denied by the player base, is probably true. It may be a generalisation but is not a strawman, in my opinion.
I guess according to the devs, the Kobs would become a tank if they "put on the proper equipment". So if the "Dps Knight" equipped the shield then they would become a tank.Arbich wrote: ↑Tue Sep 10, 2019 9:16 pmThis sounds like a straw man argument.

Are you a dps as 2hand or not?
Example:
https://builder.returnofreckoning.com/c ... ,3094,3073
valid kobs spec. 2hand. this is dps? seriously?
What makes this spec a dps-spec and not a tank-spec? Which changes would make it a tank-spec and why? I really don´t get it.
