The better tank, War / SK / Pally?

[VincentVolaju]

What if you dont take into consideration the big end game raids, cause chances are I wont be doing any of that. Im talking mostly just leveling up to max level, and doing some random dungeons, only really playing with a "group" of people rather then a raid.

I got a feeling I would like Warrior a bit more then the other 2 class's, mainly because Warrior doesnt have a 40% exp penalty haha. But if it came down to having to *pray* for a weapon proc in order to hold / pull aggro, then I would prob just go with an SK or Pally anyway =/. How often do weapons proc on here?

Did anyone read my post? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Proc-rates are crazy high here. You'll out threat hybrids going full out. It isn't classic, but damn it's useful.

Fullout = Hope to god my procs proc?

Dont get me wrong, when kunark lands Its a whole nother game for melee. Till then being a warrior just means you are slightly more efficent to heal with CH and thats about it.

Palis can agro without breaking mez and root the mob to prevent it from beelineing to the caster and SK's have disease cloud.

Warriors have Taunt (which the former 2 have) and procs (again nothing stops a pali or sk from using procs) and thats it. Hope your procs will save the caster while the mob plays player pingpong in the group (opps missed that taunt since it was out or range when the cleric healed and the mob ran over to the cleric and wacked um).

And heaven help you if your rooted (ghouls/casters) as a warrior cause then someones really gonna get pummled.

By full out i mean an SK spamming disease and a paladin spamming fol / stun rotations, the warrior will STILL pull more threat--that's how high the proc rates are here. This isn't classic proc rates o_O Go on any raid you'll see what I mean.

Its pretty random honestly; it does have a DEX modifier and you can expect quite a few a fight, however, the timely nature of procs is all chance. If fighting mobs under your level, taunt and decent DPS alone can pull hate.

When chanters/bards are mezing, it can be a little more dicey. Though nothing a quick root couldn't fix with some wise casters. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
