2hander bash comes from AA - which was either Luclin or PoP

Fiery Defender allows bash without AA. Its the only weapon in the game to allow this. SKs would complain, but most of them are troll/ogre and already have slam. I think Innoruuk's Curse eventually gets buffed to allow bashing, but I don't know when.

Fiery Avenger also allows bash (or did on live, haven't got it here yet.) The problem with hydrids using a two-hander to tank a raid boss is that they give up shield AC, and shield AC ignores the AC cap. This matters especially before the melee revamp in Velious. If p99 melee mechanics are the same as (or close to) live mechanics during Kunark, Warriors mitigate incoming damage noticeably better than Paladin/SK do. It's not a huge difference, but it can matter a lot.

As I recall it (lol memory), knights did not tank the more difficult Velious raid bosses until after they were geared from the expansion, Warriors were doing it while they and their guilds were in the process of gearing up.

Warriors are king in Velious as Tanks hands down.

Doesn't the Fiery Defender act like a shield on its own though? I recall it does have AC.
