FACT: my monk back on the combine has pulled, positioned, and tanked full through the entire fight and survived for everything up to and limited to AoW and the few other really really hard hitting targets.. maybe tunare.. idk its been a while, but all im saying is that monks are pretty much capable of doing anything a warrior can with a small amount of exceptions

Less hp, less AC, more damage = better tank? Confused.

Can you? Yes
Should you? No

Be kind on your healers.

I wouldn't say they are BETTER tanks but they are certainly doable as tanks for the vast majority of content since they are a damage avoidance class so their less AC and less HP doesn't hurt them as much.

monk only had that kind of power late velious and while high end geared , people tend to forgot monk had the biggest ac pool and avoidance on velious, the only problem was when they got hit they got hit hard as fuck.

Rangers top the list for the worse class. they are mostly for the fun of playing them not because they shine in any one situation over one another. the EXP hit is huge, the lack of good spells to solo. Nothing they get makes them worth any one class on a raid during classic.

Kunark they do see a decent spike, but again, rangers are mostly for fun of the players play style, nothing else.

For exp groups that are in outdoor zones (which is the path most take) they can potentially be the best puller.

bard will do it always better,

rangers realy did not become good dps untill velious and mainly using his haste cloack and primal. due to them having the highest ATK pool in game if done right.

WRT outdoor pulling vs rangers

Bards cannot cast harmony :/ I have played both extensively and while bards have many many advantages, there are just some pulls that are trivial with harmony and a death sentence otherwise. Not to mention ranger tracking is another level.

Last night, I had a group experience that changed my thinking on the topic of tanks. We had a warrior tanking at the Gnome castle in Sol A. The Gnomes are quite resistant to magic and fire. I was playing a druid. Because we had a warrior tank, I thought I should root every mob so the two rogues could easily backstab. The higher-level clockwork Gnomes resisted it a lot, and it broke early too. The warrior recommended we not root OR mez mobs. He actually held aggro better that way, and quickly, too. We focused our mana on healing him. We rarely had to heal the rogues. Maybe they were just good at managing their aggro. Or maybe the warrior was geared much better and simply topped the aggro meter like some kind of champion of Zek.

So...root can create easy-mode aggro on non-resistant mobs, but resistant mobs may require other strategies. Once again, strategy depends on situation, and we must be able to adapt.

There are just a lot of shitty players on this 20 year old game. Once you group with a skilled warrior, you will denounce hybrids. If everyone in the group knows the game, yes asking a lot, a warrior is best.

Fuck hybrids - fucking lazy backpedaling, keyboard turning spell and skill clicking noobs!

Yet we have no info on that warrior’s twink status. Granted, warriors ARE the most gear dependent so I’m sure it’s not inaccurate to say that a warrior can hold threat over 2 rogues with the right gear.
