When I will be able to play my GF on Tier 2 epic dungeons?

I'm one of the many guardian fighters that has lost his spot for a second cleric on T2 epic dungeons.
Since Guardian Fighters cannot affect more than 5 mobs simultaneously with their skills, they are useless facing the add spawning combat fest that are the bosses on T2 epic dungeons. I don't understand why Cryptic don't even care about it.
My only pass time in Neverwinter now is playing professions at the gateway... maybe I should get my account password to my wife so she can craft for me while I play Metro Last Light. She is experienced in Farmville so the profession system may interest her a bit.

2. You could start your own groups.
3. You could level a different class.
Not that I don't think they need to make GFs more viable, but just sayin'.
1 - What am I supposed to be then? If a class don't shine at any role, it is useless. Its like having a rogue that don't do damage, a mage that do not control anything and a cleric that don't heal. Your sentence don't make any sense.
2 - There's something easier around... 2 clerics groups. Since its easier, no one is interested in trying the harder way. If I start my own group, it will end up having 5 bored and depressed guardians.
3 - Rolling a new class is not a solution.
You think you've got it bad? Go look at the mass amount of GFW's quitting this game because they get booted out of every single party they join at 60...
You are clueless...
GF are the tank of the game. As Clerics are the healers, CW are crowd control, Rogue DPS, GWF a mix...
GF are completely broken in the current meta unless they run Conq. The Tactic and Protection trees are broken. Threat is broken and if you read any of the cleric/GF forums you wouldn't be posting <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> like this.
Yes GF are great all the way up through T1. Once you get to T2 there is honestly no reason to bring a GF to any T2. If your guild brings you it is to carry you. They would be MUCH better off leaving you to pasture. Yes, if you respec and roll a DPS GF you are viable but you will still have massive threat issues. However at least the group your with can justify you being there.
not saying this works 100% of the time, but, like i said, i run t2 as a gf with one rogue, one cleric, one GWF, and one CW
p.s. to repeat myself b4 anyone starts raging. THIS WAY IS MORE DIFFICULT IN CURRENT GAME. WE KNOW THIS But still run it this way because it makes us better and the thought of cheesing the game because the devs haven't fixed it only makes bad players who think they should run dungeons with 2 clerics or cause the GFs to leave the game. both of which will hurt the life of this game
MAKE THREATENING RUSH A 2-3 SECOND TAUNT THAT STILL MARKS THE SAME WAY.
REMOVE HEALING AGGRO.
I have a guild and I have run T2s with them. It was also made very clear that I should reroll to a DC if I seriously wanted to tank. It was also very obvious to me and the group that I was being carried through the boss fight.
Just because you can hammer a square peg into a round hole doesn't mean it fits
not sure what these MASSIVE threat issues are, once you spec dps you dont have threat issues anymore, for each point of damage you recieve 1.25 points of threat. so unless you are doing 25% less damage than your dps threat isnt an issue. if you are doing that much less your arent doing it right or you are to undergeared.
My issue is I am running Tactics (the threat generation tree) and I have to pay PWE for a respec to Conq to run DPS and generate real threat... when I really want to tank.
You must be playing with some really bad dps rogue.
LOL, didn't even think of this one... might explain his post. Try running with some 10k+ GS TR/CW you know then ones hitting for 50-80k while you hit the Boss for 2k crits
so why do we have other specs? apparently they should have just put in conqueror and explained the guardian fighter is a armored dps class (aka what the GWF is described as). anytime a game forces a class into one spec, it has some broken mechanic. 100% of the time

Coming from Rift at least they communicated with the community and worked with us. PWE has done nothing... (class devs that is)
by like 1 dps.
Don't hold your breath. STO has been pretty badly imbalanced for a long time. I don't think Cryptic balances classes.

Actually that's not really true at all in this game. Add dps matters a lot since every boss fight is full of them and less time on adds = more time on boss. Isn't really like WOW at all.
Thats the main problem to the logic of people pointing "join a guild" as a solution. The sense that you are being carried and is more a hindrance than a help to the group kills the fun for me.
