Iksar tanks in Kunark - best mitigation race despite lack of plate?

[Raev]

I can't imagine why anyone would actually use Warrior tanks on Green for 30 second fights and no clicky threat. But anyway,

It will be some 100-150 displayed AC. My personal experience was that Sakuragi (roughly equivalent to Hakata) was a noticeably inferior tank to Bobbarker (full cobalt). Most people who haven't parsed will tell you AC doesn't matter, though.

Haha. I didn't mention any classes since Iksar can also be SK, and besides - a lot of higher level Kunark mobs in groups and raid settings have big HP pools. As an aside, I guarantee you that warriors will be main tanking Kunark raid content. The notion that hybrids continue to rule the roost into the expansion is a wee tad farcical.

Iksar SK were a bit better on Blue during Kunark because they could use the Will of Innoruuk BP, but I guess on Green the SK epic will come out only just before Velious.

Why? Kunark bosses all have 32,000 HP and massive AE damage, making them fast burn fights just like Classic. I don't play on Green so I don't know what people actually do, but I can't think of a good reason to let warriors tank anything other than maintaining their morale until Velious.
