PLD Negotiation (Vs WAR)

[Paikis]

Same mitigation, just done differently.

Actually not. The Dark Knight would have to survive the full 100%, THEN get his 10% back, whereas the other two only have to survive 90% of the damage. Unless of course it just flavour text and the DK is only taking 90% of the damage anyway.

If you're going to be a Soak Tank, then you need to have a healing received bonus or lots of self heals, *and* (this is important) lots more effective health than a mitigation tank.

That was the point.
It was the assumption that the tank does not get one shot.

Soak tanks don't really work out unfortunately.
I've not seen any games run soak types since EQ2 and Istaria I believe.
