The end of Velious - class discussion.

[freakyuno]

Monks actually still did quite a bit of tanking in velious, their tanking (avoidance nerfs) were later in luclin, then the real killer during PoP.

Necro's during velious hardly had anything resisted. Most stuff had high mr, but low disease, fire, and poison, which was easily made lower through debuffs. Their dots didnt scale very well on bosses though and their DPS took a huge dip during the velious era. Subsequently in Luclin they had a fair number of AA's to make their DoT's hit harder, and tick longer. I dont remember when critical DoT chances came into play though, but I dont think it was Velious.

Shadowknights and Paladins were turned into off-tanks in my guild during this era, having lower mitigation, less weapon choices, and less armor choices made them a sub-par main tank, but they were great off tanks because they could snap agro.

Rangers - Meh...still a joke.
