Wondering what everyones opinion is on Warrior vs SK when it comes to Velious? Which one is the better tank? What are some of the changes they get, I heard Warrior get really nice Discs? Not too sure what happens with SKs though?

warrior will always be main tank. no expansion changes this to my knowledge. sks still good level tanks though when agro management is hard.

Raiding situations warriors will really shine with how hard the mobs hit however SK's will still be amazing utility tanks / group tanks /trainers/ pullers etc

Warriors will always be the best raid tank, SK's and Paladins do very well in smaller settings.

You mean all 11 of them that play on here?? [You must be logged in to view images.

Plus a lot more mana efficient heal spells at lot lower levels to get them, and better Rez, and quicker to get them also, and you WANT a Pally in the Group??

The only thing missing is lower caps on Melee skills on the Cleric, but just saying a Cleric is no slouch as a Tank.

Coming from the person who preaches against ranger tanks every chance he gets, that is hilarious.

How did you EVER get the idea that a Ranger WAS a Tank??

If you go to the Class Discussions Forum on P1999 there is NO mention of a Ranger in the Tank section. I would think Nibog and friends know a thing or two about that. Nuff said.

They are in the Melee Forum. BIG difference. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

LOL, just fucking LOL. Seriously dude do you pay any attention to how this game works? Ranger is a tank. A gimped tank, it's true, but still a tank. Ranger easily fills the tank role in a competent XP group, more easily than a Warrior on p99 where 99% of the players are idiots about agro management. My Cleric and Druid are happy to heal competent Ranger tanks, my Ranger would rather pull & dps but tanks just fine in regular group content. It doesn't matter what textures the model is painted with, it matters what abilities the class has. Rogue gets painted with the same texture as Ranger, but cannot tank worth a damn. Cleric gets painted with the same texture as Warrior/Paladin/SK but cannot tank well at all.

Lol, Cleric can't tank near as well as a Paladin vs. content that actually requires a tank, it's not even close. Playing ersatz-Paladin on my Cleric is fun occasionally, for a few minutes, vs. greens and very low blues. Twinked to hell and back in your 20s and 30s sure, a Cleric can tank then, so can a Shaman or a Druid or even a Wizard or an Enchanter. But a Cleric's not a tank, don't post stupid shit here too many misinformed players around already.

If you're gonna tank, play a real tank (or a Ranger if you can gear him well enough.) And stop with the moronic hybrid hate already, it's not the hybrids who look bad when you post stupid shit like that.
