I can't keep going with this. Getting tedious now. War aggro issues are greatly exaggerated like OP says. Wars allow xp groups to tank harder mobs at faster rate. Go play and find out

You're contradicting yourself. Why are you talking about taunt if snap aggro is worthless? Kinda embarrassing in the first place, given the success rate of taunt on high level MOBs. Bash is not something that can be relied on either.

Unless we're talking these melee having weak gear, which makes defensive relatively more valuable, then Monk should be able to keep everything cleared.



What a joke. Warrior is not at all the best 3rd to go with an Enchanter and Cleric. Having a 2nd Enchanter is obviously the highest raw amount of power, but if you don't want to risk the double charm break, then ideally you still want the charm pet tanking as much as possible to utilize Cheal, which means a pet class as the 3rd.
I'm not saying monks arn't STeir OP in this game. I'm just saying you can tank white, yellow and red cons in a normal xp group with less struggle if war is tanking. This yields more xp in general and you can cycle through more mobs or more difficult mobs from 5-60

Your quoting out of context too. Taunting mezd mobs has nothing to do with war vs sk discussion

Now you're definitely trolling, talking about Warriors being some kind of special tank before they get disciplines.

Killing blue cons as efficiently as possible is what "yields more exp in general", not fighting red cons. But if you do want to do that, and even assuming you're at the level of a Warrior having disciplines, then pet groups are still best.

There's nothing out of context about you saying "Snap aggro is worthless in enchanter/cleric/tank trio" and then going on to try and claim that Warriors are awesome because of taunt...particularly when fighting these higher cons you want to chase, where taunt is not at all reliable.

You are quite daft if his point was lost on you. He didnt say warriors are awesome because of taunt, he mentioned taunt and you just hyperfocus on a strawman arguement. In ur first paragraph u seem to concede that you can kill tougher mobs with warrior, so I don't know how you think that wouldnt translate to higher kill rate and efficiency. Im guessing you are used to xping off of weak blues and greens otherwise you would notice that a class with the most ac and hp is the better tank. You guys are like a bunch of turds that wont flush. This debate has already been flushed many times and you delusional newbs keep coming with more bs. Gaslight all u want, this is comedy at this point for anyone with a basic understanding of the game. Thanks for taking the time out of ur intense kc group to post but you really shouldn't bother.

Works well for anything not summoning and summoning stuff not yet damaged. AE mez stops the clock for 24sec and lets be honest, at this point in the game ain't nobody got time for splitting shit if you don't have to. Root protects me and healers/ranged while giving a hand to tanks, NOTABLY WARRIORS. Rooting shit down can be unnecessary but it is almost always considered good practice in general, less chaos if something goes wrong. Also works first time almost every time compared to blur. Chaining AE mez is suboptimal for aggro generation and a coarse tool for sure but it usually stops everything the second the pull gets into camp while remezzing stuff that might have gotten broken in potential confusion. It is also faster because it saves you from having to target the right mob. Ideally you'll let the puller get beaten on and single target mez everything but depending on group composition and player skill I'd rather waste my mana than waste the healer's mana. In general I just always have AE mez memmed anyway because on a bad pet break stun + AE mez will save your bum and the short timer gets your pet back in the game quickly. When there are few mobs left or the camp doesn't call for AE mez I'll usually keep a single target memmed.

Mobs 56+ single mez and blur is more effective for obvious reasons but at that point you're much less prone to be grouped with people who fuck up.

If you have better ideas I'm all ears, my group game could most likely improve but I don't think tanks can complain under my watch as I try make it easier for everyone.
I already flushed you, so I don't know why you coming back to the surface. Ur not all ears, ur all mouth. This is just an attempt to save face. I watched you page after page bragging about ur knowledge only to find out you use root regularly. After this long in such an old game its clear you are just stuck in your ways and blinded by your ego to improve. Seems like this reply was meant only to convince yourself that you aren't a newb. I hope it worked for your sake
