imo, a zerker* makes a great MT. For OT duties though you should go with a zerker*. While we're talking about who should do what, zerkers* makes great crowd control. And for the melee dps, zerkers* own. And you'll need some buffing for all those zerkers*, so through a zerker* in each group for buffs. gg


*only if iksar race

OK, since I'm getting nagged at three ways from sunday I'm gonna state one thing:

The zerker did NOT take my job... it just turned out that job was no longer mine to claim.

And I was more curious of how the rest of community thought about Guard+Guard or Guard+Pally partnerships; there have been many MANY threads that have touched upon it tho most have boiled down into a simple rant over the zerker nerf or lack of any given role for SKs. As I was only after a simple survey betwene these two classes I did not include any more options except for "other".

That is all.

God dammit, I knew I sucked when I couldn't tank Tacticians Armor and Nagafen.

I prefered Zerker MT, Pally OT which is what our guild was doing.

Our zerker recently betrayed to Guard so we are now normally Guard/Pally.

Hmmm no my rescue gives me 3 hate positions and 6kish hate.... and it's only on a 7 minutes 26 seconds recast... Guardian AAs ftw :D
And it's the 2nd best, after Reinforcement.

And to be honest, equal is boring.

Voted guardian + paladin

because to be honest if you have a perfectly capable paladin why would you waste raid wide buffs for a little extra stabality. imo thats all an extra guard gives you, a safety net for people not doing there job properly. you could also say for DA one shots on on your MT but a pally can pick that up just aswell as a second guard could.

Default Re: Who is the better Off Tank?

The question is rather if you want 3 plate tanks in a raid or not. If not, the OT guard or the OT paladin have to sit out, which is - given they're both good players - an utter waste of potential.

The free spot is then probably taken by a warlock who won't cure his group healer of a mezz, and keeps dpsing when the mt dies...

And the cure to that? Alts.
