your only dependent on gear buy what you do if your a hardcore raider and you tank.. you gota be geared to the 9'a if your a casual player just doin the odd dungion crawl average gear works... the higher you want to climb the better the gear you need... skill can make up for lack of hate generation ( was 2nd tank for a good while with my sk when we were short on warriors for a year or so then went back to off tank / dps ) but skill cant make up for crap gear... if you get blown away before the healers can heal you.... no amount of skill can overcome that
