I am wondering if that the fighters will eventually become useless in the much higher levels from being a tank, cause since we all know that clerics can tank almost as well as a fighter, and since I have heard rumors now that level 60 archers can tank pretty good as well.
My guild leader told us that and that kinda kept me wondering as well. So since clerics and (maybe) archers can tank really well at the higher levels, then whats the point of a fighter?
My leader suggested that one of the following should be changed or adjusted (for the cleric):
1. The clerics shouldnt be given so much defense, make it so that they have defense between the mages and the archers.
2. Make it so that they cant heal themselves, just the party (I would like to add in that they could aoe heal in the later levels as well)
Changing one of these will make clerics want to go to a party more often as well. Also, clerics could tank but not tank like 3 or more strong enemies at once without getting killed.
And for archers is to not have such high defense.
I'm, not trying to get one sided to any class, i'm jsut trying to make a point here. Please no flaming either
Just post your opinions about this and anything you think I have missed here that could make the fighters being a better tank than anyone else
But what do you all think?
PS yes i'm a fighter but still I think that if the clerics defense and archers defense is high enough that they can tank as good as a fighter, then the fighter can become useless and all that hard work that me and the other high lvl fighters are worthless.
