Do any of the training point stats improve taunts affectiveness?

check for my post about SKs

for my troll sk (which is now 14) Im going blood, as do most sk's. Then Im going to raise my stats like this:

mostly sta, followed by str (but not far behind, because Im going to have this one be balanced) then about even agi and int.


Im doin this because Im goin dk, and dont really plan on MTing, cause my war will do that, but just in case, ill still be able to.

my toon will be very well-balanced, and I think overall this is a good way to raise an sk if you dont plan to MT for a guild that constantly raids.


just my 2 cents tho =)

yes but 2 of the same kind like jewelry wont

my Death Knight has selfbuffed:

stat: base (current)

str: 200 (300ish with gatorwere)
sta: 315 (575)
agi: 240 (300)
dex: base
wis: 55 (98 with leadership)
int: 150 (200)
cha: base

i tank fine on PoS, PoD, and LS. I feel any tank class can MT.

IT depends on what you are taking on, a DD/tank is quite effective on a regular grind situation. Now for deep reds or raids it is time to get a real tank.

Yup DKs can tank some hard hitting red conned mobs; my DK tanked all the lvl60 epic LSM centipedes up to and including hard-meleeing Megametamilipilizon a few days ago in a four man group with no problems. True, he will never have the base resistances or AC that my defender has, or have the capability to easily max four resistances at once like my defender without severely hurting AC and HPs. DK at least do get a helpful AR/PR/DR buff from Undead Servant. My DK with all his blood path spells is my most fun grind and solo tank, he rocks with a traitorous breastplate.

i built my tank to grind/ solo to help me level and cm faster. i am now in the process of finishing my CM grinding and switching my SK over to a MT.

The reason why Defenders make better tanks than SK's and pally's is thatt hey can max resists easier. Not to mention their spells are WIS based which also gives them 1 point to every resistance with every 7 points put into WIS...

Here are my base (with form/selfbuffed):
STR = 165 (315)
STA = 245 (395)
AGI = 190
DEX = 70 (115)
INT = 215
WIS = 57

i still have 95 tp's left to displace.

after i rebuild my toon my stats are going to look like this
STR = 135 (320)
STA = 245 (430)
AGI = 200
DEX = 55 (100)
INT = 245
WIS = 55 - 105

+25 to all resists

i should still have 65-115 TP's to place after those stats. I would like to easilly max 2 resists at once.

Try to get sta to 300 base and agi to about 250 base, dont bother with dex and id say lower your int to 200 Cleetis and we will pwn again!! And you should go DK so you can max AR, PR, DR easily... but Savage works too with the heals

oooooh nice, we could get a few people and try some Solusek's Named stuff too! =D
