Best Group TankFollow

#1 Jan 06 2004 at 11:14 PM Rating: Decent
Hmmm, I might be starting a flame war on this one (nvm, I WILL be starting a flame war with this one) but I want to know what others' opinions are in regards to the best "group tank". I usually say that it's the player, not the character; with that aside, I must say that pallies are the best at higher levels, but I'm biased to war's =D Oh well, I'll regret this later, but here goes ::cringes and clicks Post Message::

I still have to go with wars, they can quad hit and use a shield, i just think they get a bad rap because of all the little kids who say "cool barbarian warriors, grrrr" then they make them and they dual wield, never use shields, and try to do lots of damage with them, making them bad tanks. warriors can use shields, and if theres a camp of all reds, i dont even bother tryin to hit hard, jut throw a shield on. i have never played pallys, but i have played an sk before, and i have to say i like wars better as tanks then sks. Sks are more built around doing a fair amount of dmg and although they do have a taunt path, rarely do sks take it. I also hate it whenever people say wars cant hold agro, they must have never worked with a good war before. one time i was workin with a 43 mnk and me a 42 war and the mnk bet me 1k she could pull agro off me. needless to say i held it and this was not a sucky monk, she was a very good dder. afterwards the hlr sent me a tell sayin somethin like "wow she shoulda pulled that easy, i nvr knew wars could hold agro like that." i didnt take taunt path either. so yeah build a war right and i think they are probly the most effective tanking class, especially with there new master class (idk exactly wht sk and pally mc's are so its still up in the air.)

Naer 44 WAR

Well, Honestly I can't say that I have a favorite. Any of them can taunt and as long as they keep aggro off me then i love em. So yeah, I say it is the character for sure.
