I did not start this discussion to prove that wizards can't tank easy group instances. I started it try to figure why you actually think that you can tank BETTER than most fighters as a wizard. Provide a list of reasons why you as a wizard think you are a better tank than fighters.

I don't see the point in doing a zone with a wizard tank unless you have to. I'm absolutely sure it can be done... (hell, I've solo tanked nizara through to the end with just a fury healing before) but it's not more efficient than doing it with a real tank.

Maybe all the tanks on his server just suck dick or something.

Like I said, as a Conjuror, I've AE aggroed alot of shit before and was kept up no problem with just a fury or mystic healing. Doesn't mean that its more effcient than any chain, leather, or plate class, especially a tank.

Well.. at least he's not a paladin :p

You bitches need to give the guy a break. If something works then something works, it doesn't mean he's a retard. This game is easy so retards can level up to 70 so I have no doubt that a wizard can tank.

Plus if a wizard can tank and clear the zone faster then you can tanking, then sorry tanks but the wizard is a better tank then you. Go cry to momma if you don't like it but that's the sad truth. Don't come on here calling a wizard a retard because you suck.

I remember at 60 I did cazels with 4 casters and 2 healers, or PP with 5 people and a dirge tanking. If you suck at your class you aren't needed period. Or I tanked Nizara as a brigand before the nurf.

The only downside to having a wizard tank from what I can see is healers actually have to pay attention and can't surf gay porn sites while jerking off and healing. Cry me a river. As long as the healers don't need to take mana breaks, the zone goes faster and no one dies you've been outtanked.

Iskiab has said it perfectly. That finishes this discussion in my mind =)

I love this! Rebellion! Don't let the man hold you down.

He is thinking outside the box, looking and thinking of the posiblities from AA's, adornments etc.

He isn't tanking raids, and even was asking for a tank/backup. What I got from him saying that about being as good as a tank, was that he can hold aggro. Which from what someone else replyed he does just fine with no wipes in OoB.

Will a wiz ever be a true tank as we know them? No. But in stituations where a tank may not be redily avalible or the wiz/battlemage is doing a better job then the current tank, then I think that is great. Diversity within the same classes is awesome and thats what the AA's are for.

So, he is basicly being called a retard for not being a clone of every other wiz.

I'll repeat what I mentioned before... make sure Kaalia farms the mitigation-proc shoulders from Nizara and that someone crafts him an Enspelled Vultak Eye. Those items are suited for this style of gameplay.

Exactly. Everyone who isn't a fucking idiot knows its possible. I also would like one reason as to why this assbag thinks its BETTER than a real tank.
