Effectiveness of SK tanking vs Warrior

EverquestRules · #1 10-12-2010, 04:30 PM

How effective are SK tanks on high end raids? even for stuff like nagafen, CT, etc. Do they take a ton more damage? I know they hold aggro better.

They take a bit more damage due to their defensive skills having a lower (IIRC much lower cap)...

Not saying they cant tank, they just take a bit more damage.

The difference gets way worse in kunark and velious tho, Defensive starts coming into play.

Also, warriors get more HP / Stam, then SKs do. They're just better all-around tanks then any class, but have aggro troubles till kunark.

I'm pretty sure there's already 100 threads about this.

Whatever. I'm an aggro pimp. All the mobs wanna beat me down. It's the dark elf mullet. Mullets add +1000 hate. You ever see a guy with a mullet and just want to punch him in the face? Well yeah, now you know how the mobs feel.

Sk's and Pallys hold aggro way better than warriors, initially....mana runs out and you are fucked though. Warriors are great at keeping aggro after having time to build it. Personally, id prefer a sk/pally MA, let them pull intial aggro, and then warrior takes it off them :s

I don't really know how it works for a pally all that well, but it's pretty much impossible to run out of mana as a SK if you don't blow it all on life taps or whatever. Even if you have something like 40int you will be able to cast disease cloud for like 10mins non stop.

If the phrase "QQ more while I pewpew more" has not been used, I would like to use it now, thank you.
