velious might have been beaten in kunark gear, but it was definitely done with warrior tanks trying to stack HP and every clicky you can imagine, especially soulfires

Indeed. But they didn't have BiS Velious raid gear, which has more HP than BiS Classic/Kunark gear. Guilds have had years to build up soulfire bots to counter the soulfire nerf.

Just doing a quick look, a full BiS Warrior in Kunark era gear has around 700 less HP than a BiS Veilous Warrior, assuming the Kunark Warrior chose the best HP items in each slot.

This means even HP stacking isn't required past a certain point, as you don't need 100 HP items in every slot to beat all raid content. It simply makes things a bit easier. AC can also make things a bit easier.

Indeed. Everybody in this thread agrees with the idea that AoW probably has the highest Wrath value in the game.

Last time I checked, every other raid target in the game is not a copy/paste of AoW.

Last time I checked it takes months, if not years, to fully BiS a Warrior.

Increasing your AC by getting a Koi Orb for cheap will probably help your tank game on easier raid targets while you are waiting for full BiS. 100 HP items do not grow on trees.
