after playing on many different servers as a warrior, i have noticed AC to be freaking amazing stat, way under estimated. imo screw everything else, ac is king!. and agility can help ac some too so its very nice to have both.
now alot of the servers i played on where somewhat custom, so i not saying i know the best, im just giving my input which has a good chance of being correct. and im thinking just cuz the ac is lower here, doesnt mean that it wont still be like the same results.
for a tank i will ALWAYS go AC then AGI then whatever....cuz shit dont matter when u got tons of ac and agility to benefit it..dex dont even matter so much if u chose the right proc weapon ( the good agro proc weapons)
damage proc dont matter, ur dps dont matter, holding agro and having so high ac that a mob never hits u = win game.
i noticed on one server where people had between 1-10k ac, going from 2400-3100 ac made me 3x stronger, then about every 1k ac after that made me another 2-3x stronger of a tank. so i figgure if u got 600 ac here and u go to 800ac, ur probly gunna be about 2x the tank, go to 1k ac and be 4x the tank, 1200 and be 8x the tank.
i mean, i could be off on just how much stronger it makes u, but i dont think that really matters. point is, every good 10% extra ac makes u a hell of alot stronger.
higher max hps just means the healers have to heal you more, waste more mana. now on the other hand, say u have 30% less hps but a mob miss's you WAY more, now ur talkin. so screw str, screw dex, screw ur dps, all that bullcrap. wear the proper resist gear (bag gear) for the fights where that will be needed over ac, and ur going to be the strongest tank u can possibly be. oh and use the proper weapon, doesnt have to be a good one, just has to have a proc that gives crazy agro, yes they exist.
have a different set of gear for when ur soloing n stuff, and no hps are not worthless, and yes u should go for that as a secondary stat over str n dps and all that. say a piece of gear cant add worthwhile ac or agi, yet there is a really good sta or hp item, use that there.
but, alas all ive said relys on one thing, dunno much about the ac cap on this server so.....would supose get that then go hps lol, less ac actually does still help after the cap then i say aACACACAC lolol
