Ogre vs Iksar

[Lhancelot]

Basically what I have learned from this thread so far is, whatever race a person plays is the right race to play.

Exactly. Min maxing will not make a retard a good group mate, and choosing the "wrong" race will not doom a skilled player.

That said, iksar is still the right answer <3

Correct, if you want to be an iksar.

Iksar is the best if min maxing because of the innate ac bonus, but only if you plan on getting high end gear where you aren't sacrificing AC to get your stamina capped. Plus you don't need shrink everywhere.

Ogre sucks to be fat but you get slam and you don't get annoyed by stuns.

AC bonus is pretty meaningless too in raiding, because it's only the worst case scenario that matters in tanking, not the average hit. This is why HP is god.

AC isn't meaningless. Similar HP tanks fare visibly differently based on AC on many mobs.

On end game content it simply doesn't matter. High AC will lower the average damage you take, but it's not about that. It's about the worst case. Who cares that AoW hits for less than a max on the flurry 9/10 times when a cheal is landing literally every second? If you don't have the hp to survive that 1/10 times, you die, and the raid wipes. That simple.

A warrior could tank the aow naked as long as defensive was up and the chain was solid.

This is wrong, AC lowers the chance of you being hit for max. Meaning more ac would make it so you get 1 max hit on that AOW flurry rather than 2 or 3. And a naked warrior would get 1 rounded even through defensive on AOW. How many times has CSG even killed AoW for you to comment?
