Getting into end game tanking

With the way xp is in the hole. Leveling is almost as easy as chardok aoe now lol. 60 should be easy! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Also join a guild. Make friends. Get to know and befriend people even outside of your guild. Lots of people will take someone who isn’t the best geared or experienced so long as they are fun to group with and willing to learn.

This is good advice too, a warrior is at his best as part of a team. Warriors should also be comfortable communicating, when a new DPS joins the group remind them “Warrior aggro don’t go too crazy too early in the fight.” Talk to teammates about root and be willing to pull or DPS if a knight joins the team and that is what’s best for the group

Most players in EQ are trying to have fun and are less concerned with 100% min/max efficiency all the time. That being said anything you can do to make the team more successful should be 100% on your list.

I think you hold aggro for 6.38 seconds while 372 people kill the mob. Hope this helps.

Oh ya, hitpoints are good.

Kunark content maybe, but velious most fights are a lot longer, and big hitters like aow and vymn are fun fights for a war [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Oh also, all content in velious can be tanked in kunark gear. Don't feel hard pressed to get an extra few HP's when all they need to do is bot another cleric in to smooth out the chain.

Well I see your banned but I'll reply anyway...a full velious raid geared tank is a billion times easier to heal then a kunark geared one (I play clr sometimes too, and you def see the difference in group geared vs full raid, it's really not even comparable).

And you don't always have 25 rogues / pets to burn things down (like rampage did when velious launched), so when disc drops, that ac/hp difference is huge /nod.

Very much this. Once you have been in a few AoW cleric chains, you see the difference between good geared warriors and bad ones. There are quite a few tense moments when a 6k+ HP tank gets down to 3% before the next CH goes off.

Aw the banned little penish? He was such an angry elf!
