    If I have a choice between taking a marauder or a lancer for a Darkhold run, I'm taking the marauder.

    well a lnc is like paper, so i see that, and in fact lancer probably has an even bigger advantage with DD in the new AA tp system.

    So what role is it you want mrd for, and a better question is if you could pick any player of similar skill gear and eq would you take mrd just as likely as you would take a gld con or archer?

    I mean i understand mrd has the most hp, good parry, and some native enimity skills, but do you think it can beat gld tanking? archer dps? or con cures? if not, what specifically does it add to the team that they would be missing

    I want MRD to tank the skeletons and activate the medium circle.

    MRD isn't as good a tank as GLD. MRD isn't as good a DD as ARC. MRD doesn't heal as well as a CON.

    MRD is a nice HP sponge and has decent physical AOE capability, so that helps on the skeleton fight and makes it easier on the archers and mages. I'd just as easily replace it with another GLD or a PGL.

    IF, all the archers and mages are comfortable with doing the skeletons without dying, and have the abilities and player skill to do so, then I'd feel fine putting in another mage or ARC instead.

    However, most people don't have access to good players with Rank 50 everything, so going with another tank for the skeletons just makes things easier.

    That's really bad, if a crafter can tank better than an alleged tanking class. >_>

    I've been asking for soooo long for them to change it to GSM to avoid confusion... i guess i'll just post it at localization forum and ask them this.
