question on effectiveness of hybrid tanks in kunark

[Folksie]

Hi all,

Just been reading a very interesting thread on wars versus hybrid tanks in classic and beyond: http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=9237

My question is this. My main is chanter but I'd like to play an alt into the 50's with Kunark if poss and would like that alt to be a MA type tank. I'm assuming the agro problems of low-level warriors at present will go away and in any case can live with that, so really i care about tanking in the 50-60 range.

So, bearing that in mind, I'm wondering for those who played in Kunark era, as tanks and especially as healers, was there a noticeable difference between durability of warriors vs hybrid tanks? Did it take a lot more mana to heal the bybrid tanks? Also, far less crucially, just how big is gap in dps and did it make any difference to group effectiveness.

I'm assuming obviously similar gear/playing skill. Also I personally care about the 'role' in group more than the class (I want to be MA); so the distinctions of whether that's done with procs/taunt or spells doesn't matter much to me, and nor does utility of invis/ivu/fd etc. Also I doubt I'll raid with the char, just want to enjoy grouping to 60, so input on raids is appreciated but would especially like to know about group dynamics.

Edit: Also one additional question: in Kunark era what % of time did MA pull? I realise it varies with group/camp but in my memories playing cleric in old seb, it was always tank pulling. This would be great as I enjoy that side of game, so just wondering how frequently that happens.

Cheers,

Folksie
