End Game Main Tanks (Question)

[Ignight]

Hello everyone,

Perhaps this subject has come up before, but I am curious if Ogre FSI is a requirement of main tanks in end game raids?

Are other races acceptable? I understand the entire min - max discussion. My question centers around this one ability.

I am curious to hear from raid leaders or participants that require FSI or don't and why for either side of this discussion. When you raid, who is your MT or OT? They can't all be ogres or are they?

Respectfully,
Gondien <Fires of Heaven>

Yes. Lots of races are represented. Of course, there are Ogres, but there are also other min/max suggestions like Iksar and Halflings. And an inexplicable number of Half-Elfs. I don't see many Wood Elfs or Dark Elfs, though.

Thank you. I'm guessing FSI is not quite the requirement as I believed. I never hear much about troll, barb or dwarf warriors either.

I always thought they would be a decent tank.

Half Elves make best warriors as the deity selection of Innoruuk is one hell of a RP choice!

plus the dark elf cultural on a half elf looks awesome [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

FSI not important

Most end-game tanks are not ogre

Most of the A/A tanks Ive seen are not even Ogre.

Not a single Gnome however...

Gnome is without doubt the least played warrior race

Which is sad, gnomes are little boss gangster hogs

Look how cute!

I'd hit that with a train straight out of north.
