Snap Agro Tanks

[captnamazing]

Don't let lowbie warrior aggro get you down. Get a caster to root the mob your'e tanking, and stand right next to it. No twink can rip aggro off unless they get closer in proximity to the mob.

At end game, most paladins give up cause they aren't strong raid tanks, and SKs find their place more as pullers/kiters than tanks (except for group). If you can get your war to 50, you're golden.

Lots of good advice on weps. Go for dps... yaks are pretty good aggro with the proc, but seek velious weps when the time comes.

At the end game, if yer job is to get snap aggro, you will be using clickie items. Just don't forget, when you think of tanks, always think Ogre.

I just need an epic wood elf warrior / bard and I'll have the whole set. Imo as a rogue, go for high dps weapons early on. Low level procing weapons (BAD ratio) won't be able to hold agro off of even equally geared rogues since evade won't work consistently-ish until 40 and you can't expect procs all the time. I never had trouble pulling off of monks and they only have dps going for them. Same idea would work with dps warriors.

As a Warrior just accept the fact that most players are pretty bad.

Of course, a ranger in the group who knows how to play is handy at tanking for pugs below 45 or so, and after is still good at peeling from chanters and clerics and parking...IF they know how to play.

Including warriors. Fun fact, gear can't fix bad warriors. I've played with some regular champions leveling up. Tanken was by far the most horrible, followed by Hydro. Be super aware of incomming mobs and understand positioning or your DPS will hate you. I can forgive your yaks losing agro. I won't forgive you walling mobs constantly or slow engages.

I'd say 1-50 and probably the absolute best tank option for those levels.

Khandman...did you play in VoS on luclin? We had a woodelf tank there with a similar name.

I already made my troll war, so it's a bit late to turn back now haha.

I know of whom you are speaking. I was on Luclin and in Heroes for about 7 or 8 years.
