And WL's.......fix pet and they are fine
Now lets talk about how OP BW's/Sorc's are!
Because the greater DPS output of the SM/BO compared to other tanks does not equal or outweigh the greater DPS contribution from other tanks debuffs/buffs when you figure the extra DPS it gives your group as a whole.
The biggest DPS buff possible atm being 10% crit buffs when given to classes that have high critical damage multipliers. As far as tanks are concerned outgoing heal debuffs are also very valuable.
Another huge problem with BO/SM is lack of ST long range punt. The AoE punt is absolute dogshit and im going to explain why.
Guard is the strongest ability in the game bar none. And it literally only has one hard counter. And that is to punt the tank as far away as possible and dumpstering the person he was guarding as fast as possible before he can get back in 30ft range. When you use the AoE punt as SM/BO you are just giving out free immunity that screws everyone over. It's a terrible skill.
If you watch really good guilds/tanks play you will notice they are constantly trying to punt the tanks around to get a real chance to kill something, because that skill is so strong that it is literally impossible to kill something that is guarded unless you have the entire SC beating on them at once.
