Monk (more avoidance)

This may seem insane but I’ve found avoidance to be quite a situational benefit. As you say P99 is easy. Often groups have an excess of heal. Often it is better to have worse avoidance so you take more hits and do substantially more damage through DS. This is why I often prefer ranger to even warrior.
Despite their reputation they actually mitigate reasonably on most content - it is their avoidance that lets them down. This isn’t really that big a problem - as previously stated most groups have an excess of heals (and the ranger itself may add like 23/tick through fungi, chloro and skin like nature) - so all it means is the ranger gets to land more hits with damage shields than other tanks (and handily the ranger has plenty of baked in DS).
Obviously there are higher end circumstances where their lesser tankiness does become problematic, but 100% unironic post, I promise.
