Why do…

I laugh out loud everytime I read someone talk about Rogues tanking or mitigating damage well. Maybe if you're raid geared it helps a bit? But in my ec gear @60 (and on the way up) I've got 3-5 attack rounds in me before I drop. My defense is capped.

With that said...I do remember I used to wait to engage mobs back on live in 99-03 or so and give tanks a few rounds before I'd attack. On p99 tho, nobody does that. Speed is king and so everyone just zergs and deals with the occasional aggro swapping.

You have bad gear. Maybe save up for something nicer like Crystal Chitin. Hope this helps.

5 rounds is being kind...
It's probably less.

Omg dramatic update. Prioritize AC/HP instead of haze panther garbage. YW

Sorry this offends you

That's good because going from 1100 AC to 1250 AC adds up to two or three rounds of damage mitigated over ~2000 hits

Going from 1100ish to 1250 AC reduced damage taken by 11 per attack. Vs. Puppets, that's about 1 combat round out of 10 mitigated, or about 80 attacks worth of damage mitigated out of the 800ish stacks taken.

You’re not dropping on a rogue in 5 rounds on xp content. Get real! 3 rounds vs tov trash fair enough, but the context of the comment was levelling.

That said it does feel like rogues/rangers got a lot worse at mitigation i think the antitwink worn ac caps may have got screwed up for them.

I love this stuff.

Arms, boot and gauntlets are super easy just to stumble into while XPing at zone in. 58 AC, 22 str, 5 sta, 10 hp. Only 10 weight so +12 carry too.

Great gear suggestion!

I’m confused someone enlighten me pls.

So, OP, any thoughts on the responses to your thread so far?

FWIW one of the best XP trios I ever did was my rogue, bard, monk. All 3 of us had fungis / epic and we non-stopped killed at slabs in hole for 3 hours.

We all took some damage.

Why do rogs /monks / rangers/ intentionally try and get aggro in group content as if they are helping the group so how. Can anyone explain this though process behind this.
If you have a tank in the group and the mob is rooted why are the intentionally getting as close to the mob as possible? Or they are not using evade or FDing at all and rng opening up with flame lick. Am I missing something? How is this helpful in any way? Isn’t it making more work for the healer and wasting more mana which = more downtime for everyone? So just wasting everyone’s time to feel “leet”? I’m confused someone enlighten me pls.

People who can't position right suck. There's a lot of them and I doubt it's intentional. If you're a person who can't tank so good I'm gonna snap that mob off you with a 100% backstab until the tank can manage it. Rogues, like rangers, are light tanks. High end rogues tank better than low end warriors.
