Is cleric still considered the best tank by far? or have other tanking-types caught up? (Rogue, Necro, Drakon have all proven to be rather good tanks.... and what about Artificer?)

*grin* Clerics have always, and always will be, considered the best -newbie- tanking class. For the simple reason that they can take a beating, and make heals go a long way. They're probably the best tank heal-efficiency wise.... but... I'd say that if you're talking numbers? Exp/hr rate? They're not even in the running. I can do 8-900k/hr solo with a ficer.. and that's not counting Sydiemath, Valdrath, Eagleclan... imagine what I'd be able to do with 3 bashers. Paladin's can smoke clerics, because they do more damage with their higher str weapons, and their smites, plus they barely get touched with the high-end turtle and better shields. Rogues have trips and stabs, so they can do more damage, and cause their bashers to do more... Drakons are even capable of getting more exp/hr than a cleric because of their breaths. Yeah, a cleric can wrath, but then they lose the ability to heal themselves with those sps, and the main advantage of heal efficiency goes down the tubes. We had a whole discussion on this topic a few years ago.... if ya can find it it's on these boards somewhere.....

(Rogue, Necro, Drakon have all proven to be rather good tanks.... and what about Artificer?) classes dont mean shit.. it's the player. for instance, calvin can outtank pretty much anyone with any class. lunger, moriyo-hottie (back in da day), and daffy could as well. i could play the best tanking class and still suck ass... while spamming the fuck outta my bashers. best line ever is getting told by a basher that they can't see shit cuz you are too spammy as a tank.. hahahaha!!!
