Which tank are you having most fun with?

[Causality]

My warrior of course!!!!

[Blazerunner]

I tried leveling both tanks a bit before HW, i didn't have much play time due to work and such so i never got to experience the full potential of either class, but from what i have seen the Warrior was definitely a great time. I decided i wanted to try tanking full time in HW since i will actually have time to play it this time, so i picked up the DRK. It has been a pretty fun time so far, tanked all of the dungeons up to 50 with little problem. Ill push it to 60 and see how it goes but so far im really liking DRK the most.

Dark Knight

Having raided as PLD/WAR starting in Darklight, back when the upgraded relic was Bravura +1 all the way to turn 12 (didn't get to finish FCoB, started a new job and had to take a break). I have to say Dark Knight feels amazing to me.

There is SO MUCH to do as Dark Knight, maintain your threat, maintain your MP so Dark Side is always up, which abilities should I Dark Arts?Some extremely high damage potential, Dark Arts/Souleatter is an average potency of 266, that's HUGE for a tank! 6 separate off-gcd attacks that need to be managed and rotated in. Including Cross Class you have 8 defensive cool-downs that you need to constantly rotate correctly, and if you hit a good groove DRK is extremely tanky!

Really enjoying Dark Knight right now.

It is definitely not as simple as Warrior and has almost (if not more) damage reduction cool downs than Paladin.

At 50 using cross class skills, I had 3 damage reduction / defence cool downs, parry buff, self healing buff, magic resistance buff, damage down debuff, near infinite stun off GCD and Magic attack down debuff and around 3 different ways to replenish mp.

It's a very involved class!

I think Ninja would be best compliment to a Dark Knight and am wondering if anyone knows if Storm's Path will stack with the Dark Knight damage debuff?

Warrior for sure I'm loving it even more...

Few things are more fun that Fell Cleaving the crap out of something. So war's been a ton of fun so far in the MSQ.

But I'm liking the Dark Knight too. Lotsa fun balancing the MP and Proc skills are always fun. The naysaying on their defense seems a bit overstated.
The exception being that Shadow Wall is on a longer cooldown than Vengance while having a shorter duration and no extra effect. Or, alternatively it does 3/4ths the mitigation of Sentinel but has no advantages. Something should change there. Shorten the CD to vengeance level at least.
Dark Dance, IMO should Dark Arts into some kind of guaranteed reduction.

I do wish the Darkside effect wasn't so huge.

Reprisal and Storm's Path can both be up on a mob at the same time, I've seen it.

Do they stack? Who knows, to early to tell.

Typically though SE puts the disclaimer right on the skill. I.E.

Delirium Blade "Effect does not stack with Dragon Kick"
Storm's Eye and the Ninja ability both say they don't stack with each other.

Neither Storm's Path or Reprisal have this warning.

I could understand them stacking. Reprisal is gated by a parry and it only has a 20s duration with a 30s CD. Also, it's no secret that PLD handles damage the easiest, so maybe they stack to bring a more utility to a DRK/WAR tanking combo.

Having been a PLD main until Heavensward I switched to DRK... and man, I will never look back.

DRK is just all kinds of fun. And it keeps me busier than PLD. I've also liked vigilantes and anti-heroes much more than bright and shiny ones.

Mechanically, it's a good mix between PLD and WAR. Trades some physical mitigation of the PLD for higher magic mitigation and a lot more damage even when tanking. Still probably won't out-damage a WAR in Deliverance though.

I don't have the "squishy" feeling that some have expressed. Ran AV and a couple level 50 dungeons at least as well or better as I have in the past with PLD.

Fell Cleave is love. Fell Cleave is life. All hail Fell Cleave!

Paladin.

Simply put, I want to be able to focus more on what's happening around me. Also, I like my melee class that can heal, on demand. I've been seeing 4k heals on Clemency which is huge.
