Lightning said everything that I had to say. You sure yer not gonna be an Inquisitor man, you read my mind!

The biggest problem with an avoidance based tank is that a streak of hits in a row is devastating... and a similar streak of bad luck on a mitigation tank isn't nearly as catastrophic.

Having healers use wards like the shammy in EQ2 works around this to a large degree, but like Lightning mentioned... you are then narrowing down your group options and that's never a good thing.

By the way... I'd just like to point out that although I disagree with him on the avoidance tank thing... Romm is one heck of a healer and I'm glad he's stopped by to chat. It always helps when the healers understand tank issues. I hope to see more of them dropping by.
