No one wana party with tanks in elite and arena

[Ardbeg]

An arena run is approximately 1:30 slower with a maxed warrior and 3 rogues, than it is with 4 rogues given equal bosses and effects. With a mage AND a warrrior (both geared) with 2 rogues, that time increase is 2-2:30 slower than with 4 rogues. So instead of 3:30, we're looking at an average of 5-6 minutes, (or slower if the warrior has bulwark, or the warrior and mage are not fully geared).

I'm not classist, some of my best friends are fatties and smurfs, but when it comes to efficiency, nothing tops 4 rogues.

the times are correct based on my experience (on tank and rogue).
and the sad truth is, the longer the runs take, the more pots and ankhs the party has to use. it gets bad if the party fails to kill bosses before they enrage.
i run a lot with mixed parties on my tank and enjoy it, but on my rogue in a full rogue party we did a 4 min run today without sweat. the only death was me, because i m used to tank glob...
i recorded the run to document what s going wrong here: it s not only faster, it s also easier and cheaper (ofc also a bit boring from a tank perspective). i m looking for a way to cut and post it.
