Im trying to find out wich of these 2 classes would be the best for a fair dps and off tank role.
Also soloability on mini boss (field boss) would be nice.
I know warrior have much better aoe but i keep hearing monk have better dps and def wich i honestly doubt..so im torn between them..

People have pointed out that Monk's weapon attack is lacking, compared to Warriors who probably have the highest weapon attack. Monks don't have a DoT skill either, but while Warriors have to use Lv 5 Berserk to compensate for their -10% AP from Defender, Monk's TSS effect could offset Steel Body's -10% AP with no drawback even at Lv 1. I don't really know how the TSS debuff works myself so this is just a possibility.
I don't think you can solo field bosses with either class unless you were severely over levelled/geared-- you'd need at least one healer.

But, at the very least? Monk is the worst Off Tank in the game (One AoE with a low target cap = no). If you're adamant on one of the two, do Warrior.

I also followed ur posts about what a dps knight could bring to the table wich i understand but i also know that most of the player just put each class into a specifique role
they must absolutly follow..ex a knight should be main tank nothing else. priest only heal and cant dps.. etc..
all in all i was leaning more toward the dps knight than the warrior, but im just not sure if a knight will really be able to live up on my and the party expectations on the offtank and dps part.
I been trying to find any video to have an idea of how a dps knight manage itself but couldnt find any.
PS: sorry for my english i tend to type wierd things in disorder.

Really, the only 'flaw' of a DPS Knight is their raid token.
As for 'strictly follow', Knights SHOULD generally be MT or OT, but their DPS Is respectable. They're not Rangers/Rogues/Sorcerers, but their added utility is key for certain engagements.
Priests, for now, should stick to Full Support unless they're a PVP Hybrid. Pure DPS Priests are, unfortunately, garbage.

If it weren't for this, DPS Knights, I promise you, would be far more of a thing.
Unfortunately, they have the Yellow Token.

Monks have the higher DEF with their 250% DEF increase VS Warrior's 30%. Even with the difference in their gear's base DEF.

You're forgetting that Monks also posses a similar skill without dodge penalty, called the almighty Critical/Ki Explosion. With the help of TSS, Monks can dish out quite a damage. Although Monks are lacking DoTs, they have much quicker ASPD and can hit faster (Bash 1 second cooldown, Raging Blow is 0 second). What makes Monks weak in terms of DPS is the fact that they do not posses AGI from their gears and they ought to have best quality end game cards, runes and whatever that posses STR and INT to actually increase their damage.

Warriors are essentially the "Jack Of All Trades" among tanks... they are very effective off-tanks. They have great AoE skills and can get high aggro in a very short time. Monks are best when solo tanking bosses.
