So DRK will be mp based

[Slappah]

Does this mean that people will spec for PIE instead of VIT or STR? To get that mp boost?

And does it mean they'll get separate armour from the other tanks? Since I'd assume PIE would be an important 'secondary' stat for them. Then again, tank gear with some PIE thrown in wouldn't exactly hurt Paladins and Warriors either. More Flash and Stoneskin from Paladins, more Flash from Warriors (instead of those puny three Flashes we can afford now ¬_¬).

These are good questions and things that I'm excited to hear about.

I always thought PLD was sort of an MP based tank and some new skills post 50 would add to that, but if they are making DKN specialize in MP based tanking, then that means PLD "specialization" is the shield. They should add more to that affect than "Here, equip a shield and you get Bulwark."
