I just hit 37 last night, and I've been Shieldtech specc'd the whole time. I feel like I do horrible damage. It takes me way to long to kill things. I get that "Strong" guys should be tougher, but I have a hard time taking on two at a time without getting heals.
I am a tank, I am not dps. I do not expect/want to be able to one shot things, or be a damage dealing monster, I would just like to know how much 'trouble' other people are having killing things.
