Can you name one for us, please?



So just Stanos then? What happens if you're not stunned and the mob still gets pushed past you? Same result, no? So frontal stun immunity had no affect?



Not really. Aggro generation is not purely reliant on auto attacks, especially with the rampant recharge abuse on this server.



That's probably not true for full stam/hp gear with a stam buff. Everybody caps at 255 regardless of race. The only advantage here actually goes to Iksar for the higher AC cap.



MR is only useful up to 255. If you're lucky enough to get a bard in your group, then it's really easy to reach the cap without sacrificing too many HP pieces. The differences in HP are negligible, though, considering that almost every single Velious and most high-end Kunark/planar raiding pieces for warriors have both STA and MR on them. Now if you want to talk about fights that require MR, FR, and/or CR... then you might have a very slight total HP advantage if the non-Ogre drops below 255 STA.



That's debatable. As I established earlier, the only tank with a stat advantage is Iksar for the higher AC cap. So calling Ogre "the best" for a situational-at-best CASTER-related perk is purely subjective.

I can't think of one half elf in the top 5 geared tanks. <on blue> Never played on red.

Ikky stuns and backstabs, green flurry drakes also do. wtf cares about stanos lmao.

Auto attack aggro is still huge especially on long fights which is why a warrior simply auto attacking with non procing weapons can pull aggro on long fights. AKA fights with several tank switches. Or mobs that silence of which there are several.

Using a bard to cap your mr on a fear fight is a mistake because that bard is going to be feared. The top geared tanks you speak of cap mr with out a bard and still maintain 6k hps or near.

You obviously don't raid or have raid gear
