Default Best tank class (group edition)

Taking damage so other group mates don't have to... Who does it best?

Depends on the group mates... Warrior seems obvious esp at higher levels, but knights do great if rogs and monks don’t evade/fed aggro

Twin towers? Did you confuse server chat with RNF?

As far as aggro, ranger is pretty equal to bard. I think the point, tho, for having a substandard tank (utility hybrids) is snap aggro and damage, which the ranger will have an easier time with consistently vs bard. As a rogue, my favorite tank was always ranger. I’ve tanked a whole lot of places on my ranger 1-60, and pretty well too.

Bard’s melee damage is bad, but they have neat tricks. Dunno how sustainable charming is, but that’s about the coolest thing you can do in a pinch. Most people bad and don’t have gaz ring though and that really fucks up the pace waiting on charm breaks.

Culprit used to powerlevel my alt rogue and bard tanking (seb/KC) is pretty bad ass, quite honestly.

Bard has high defense and plate and tons of hateful aoe.

But mobs can smell rangers and want to sink their teeth into their assets because they can smell low defense and smell chain.

So I voted ranger.

I’m honestly kinda struggling to think of good reasons to go ranger over bard, assuming both are sufficiently overgeared to hell which is the secret ingredient that makes this conversation work. Level appropriately geared rangers and bards are on par or slightly worse than rogues for loading please wait.

No class can out aggro bard except -maybe- wizard clicking their temp stick constantly (tried and tested vs pally / sk spamming their aggro spells vs the bard snare/slow).

Bard is a better xp group tank. Has full aggro at 100% hp and mob comes in pre slowed. Can just take out a lute and sing regen / haste / DS / slow aggro while tanking or CC while tanking easily.

Rangers are okay but they will get shat on if competing for aggro and rely on proc to slow.
