Dragon Roar has a -150 mr mod. Maybe if you put on 405 MR worth of gear+buffs/songs, you effectively have 255 versus Dragon Roar?

I always find it silly when people discuss the relative power of races based on the assumption of full BiS gear. How many players actually get there? Especially on a class that competes with warriors for gear? It's basically just a thought experiment at that point. It's especially odd when people start talking about putting points in strength to make the early levels easier, as if this discussion was anything more than empty theorycrafting.
Prior to ToV, SK gear has surprisingly little stamina. The Thurg/Kael/SS sets are what most will settle for as their final goal. Full sets have the following total stats: Thurg - 31 STR, 12 STA, 1 AGI, 11 DEX, 29 INT Kael - 38 STR, 11 STA, 8 AGI, 22 DEX, 29 INT SS - 34 STR, 32 STA, 12 AGI, 25 DEX, 26 INT If you have an eurdite with 75 stamina or whatever, you'll need 130 stamina from gear even with the shaman buff. 180 without it (it's one of the first buffs you want to get rid of to get an extra buff slot). You're not getting that with the kind of gear that 99.5% of players have any hopes of seeing. Erudites are neat in a thought experiment. In the real world where almost nobody gets even half a set of ToV gear, it's a race that'll handicap you for life. It'll be like playing an extra bad version of a class that already kind of sucks. Let's look at a more realistic set of gear that can actually be obtained by mortal men: https://wiki.project1999.com/Magelo_Blue:AverageSK That's with 15 points in stamina, too. And even that gear would be ambitious for the average player. Talk about +5 MR as if it matters more than fifty points of stamina... | ||

Group tanks don't need a great deal of HP. Pick up the high AC items on raids instead. Defensive disciplines are what really matter and SKs don't have one. Knight gear might not have a lot of STA but it's loaded with raw HP and no competition with Warriors over it, just other hybrids which are rare enough. Cloak of Silver Eyes. Boots of Dark Passage. Blood Runed Gauntlets/Girdle. Ashenbone Shield. ToV snowcone. If wanting to min/max finesse stats, go Warrior imo. Otherwise, choose the race you think looks coolest.

And you don't need to equip rings and earrings to tank XP mobs, but if you don't do it, you're handing yourself a huge disadvantage for no reason. Playing an erudite SK instead of an ogre is basically the same as playing without rings and earrings. People are more than welcome to play the race that they think is neatest, but in any discussion about what's best, it's asinine to begin talking about how erudites are actually fine as long as you simply have the best gear that exists in the game. How many BiS SKs exist on blue? Is there even one, after all these years?
