Default So i want to make a melee class. Sk pal or war......... and GO!

So i have be playing a primarily solo class and have a melee class i also enjoy playing (monk). however i want to play a tank class. Back on live i played a pal all the way through omens of war. I am torn as to what tank class i should plays this round through. SK is appealing, but i already have a necro. Pal is appealing but, i already did that adventure a decade ago. then there is war, which i feel gets no love.

So i am torn. i have 5k of plat i have built up for a tank class to derp around with, so what do you guys think? I expect the collective voice of the interwebs to guide me! (may god have mercy on my soul)

PS: Also please throw racial ideas in cause i seam to lean toward iksar for the ac regen.

PPS: Thank you for any information, i appreciate the time you put in for this [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Ogre Warrior best Raid tank
SK best trash mobs tank with lifetap/dps/snare
Pal is good trash mobs tank with heals/buffs/stuns
I know you don't mention them but Rangers get a discipline called weaponshield that parries all attack from the front for 15 seconds. Makes them valuable in raids.

SK solo-ability is high but except to be fear kiting at higher levels. They duo well with rogues.
Paladin solo-ability is low and slow. except to be using a small clickie heal between fights.

You have a Necro & a Monk. I'd say pursue the roll of a warrior, any race you want.

Iksar Warrior! You can get some pretty good Kunark gear and weapons really cheap.

Select the hard mode and play a tanking ranger.
Always insist on tanking and use snare/flame lick to gain aggro if you are laughed at.

If you die, blame the incompetent healers.

Make a warrior for the most challenge.

play the race you find most fun and entertaining, or if you are a true min/max player consider ogre/iksar over the others due to superior racial traits.

Personally for min/max I prefer ogres due to frontal stun immunity. This trait is impossible to overlook.

As an ogre, your dps is rarely interrupted via stuns, and the massive starting STA and STR allows you to begin your warrior by stacking DEX instead of STA as all the weaker races usually do.

The only bad thing is warrior really is a vast plat sink, as you rely on clickies and weapons that proc to hold aggro and most of these toys cost a lot of plat.

Thing is, this class will give you a lot of things to do as you develop the character with all the necessities it needs to really shine and be successful.

It's a long term commitment playing a warrior... But I think possibly it will give you the most satisfaction in the end.
