My new warrior is 20, just finished path quest, and is now standing in front of Lancet Carrol with a stupid look on his face because I don't know what path he should take. I'm building him to be the Main Tank for my new guild and really can't decide what path or MC is best for a Main Tank warrior. Help please.

Also, which website is it that has the abilities list that tells you exactly what every ability for each class does? Not the cm list on Hodstock... there are a lot af abilites on their class mastery list often just mentions the name of the ability without saying what it does.

Regards,
Byronfan

When it comes to Warrior paths it really doesn't effect much when it comes to raiding. If ur MT and heal path ur regular taunts will keep you aggro through the fight. If ur taunt path ur not gonna want to use those extra taunts much (or at all) unless ur backup MT. The reason is cause if ur MT and you use ur path taunts the backup MT is gonna have an extremely hard time gettin aggro if you die.

The path is ur choice though it's not a crucial decision for ur future of MTin imo. Don't worry about it.

BUt Bryon wants to be a MT, so it doesnt matter what is good or not. Both are very good paths. I went bellow just in case a healer is new, having a cp, or goes ld etc., but i also have a 23 warrior on pillar, I cant say which is better, because both help in there situations. Pillar: holds aggro better, i think it buffs my ac. Bellow: saves youself sometimes, hp buff.

But as I said bryon, for MT i would go Pillar. But the choice is yours. Good luck! See u later

I also would choose bellow, but I am taking to mind that Bryon wants to be a MT, but like I said its your choice and both paths are great.

For the 4 levels between your path choice, and the spell Provoke, Pillar would most likely be very handy, but pretty useless after 24, IMO.

For 12 seconds. Not worth it IMO. It often takes more than 12 seconds to kill a mob. And with a 5 minute recast, it's a taunt you use only in extreme emergencies. I've used Bastion on my Pallie, maybe twice because it's normally not needed.

Hmmm....yes. Well, both are helpful. Bellow saved me a lot of times, and pillar helped when i used it.

So did Bastion for me, I've just never had to use it very much as I usually hold aggro very well. One night with Nursie, I barely even had to use Provoke. Taunt did well enough on it's own most of the time.

Personally I went Bellow, and I do not regret that choice. I solo alot, so Bellow is good as a heal, or a really good HP buff. Also, with chain taunting I rarely have a problem with aggro. I'm not sayin Pillar isn't good, it may be better, but it's too late for me to find out with this toon.

Note: I see the taunt vs. heal path the same as Defenders vs. Heroes. To see what I think about Defenders vs. Heroes go to the thread named Defenders.

If you can't figure out the similarity a hint is the extra taunt.

For grps taunt is prolly better for adds maybe I dunno I never have a prob without em.

But I stand by my opinion about Mts.

IMO the Bellow path is much better because it saes my *** alot when I'm soloing or grping. the only thing about the Pillar path is the ac boost you get from using it. If you what better taunts then just add some tps too str.

ok let me just say in mt situation u are gunna keep aggro with ur normal taunts no matter what, so why not have some extra stack heals they can always help. and a 12 sec ac buff woop dee do go defender u get a 1k ac buff that will give u all the ac u need. taunt path is good if ur gunna be a back up mt but i wouldint build a char to be a back up mt personally. it may also be good for adds in grp but i also dont build chars for grps. I built my tank to mt and i chose bellow path in my opinion it is the best. choose wisely and enjoy ur warrior

I highly agree with CrazyCrush on most things. First off, Go Bellow, Heal path. Why? Because it heals you and saves your *** alot of times, also if you wanna ever duel, it helps alot. And raises ur hp max if thats what you want. Dont go tuant because, even if people say it helps with adds, Okay, First off you shouldnt get adds, and if you do get em, I have never had a problem holding aggro and NONE of my warrior went tuant. So I highly suggest Heal over Tuant. As for the Defender VS. Hero comparison, Nothing alike. Tuant and Bellow has nothing to do with it. And yes I have a thread called Defenders, which explains the two MCs very well.

Raids(MT): Defender Bellow or Taunt. For an All MT i'd be Taunt tho. Hero prolly back-up MT with fast agro.

Groups(Tank): Hero Bellow. Defender will still be good in groups but Hero is prolly better.

go heal b/c not onlty does it heal u and buff ur HP but u can use it to get aggro, think about it, how do healers get aggro to them, by healing you, so if u use ur heal when u get adds u can grab him with the heals aggro.

idk if i made sense but...w/e

I say compare the mcs to the paths because of the taunt. The more taunts you have the easier it is for you to grab aggro after the MT dies (if death occurs).
