Exploiter tank some raid bosses?

[RS-Makk]

I've been told I could tank some of the raid bosses on my exploiter, but I've been reluctant to do so.

My question is, can I, and which bosses at what difficulty levels should I be able to tank?

My self buffed ac on ac mode is about 70 (with barkskin, ce, and all the ac gear: icy, insight weapon, chattering ring, +8 bracers)

This depends quite a bit on 1) your hp's, 2) your intimi 3) your skill and the parties skill.
You can easily hate or intimi tank suulo norm. You can hate tank suulu hard (I've done
these). For the hate tanking the assumption usually is that the group gives you a bit to
establish aggro my exploiter can't hold suulu aggro against reasonably geared barbs
but then again I only have a pair of min II's and am still missing +3 str tome and
tempest ToD ring.

I've solid fog tanked xyzzy norm before having real hp but that was with a good group.
You can tank suulu,jailor and most probbly judge norm without trouble I've yet to run it
hard so not sure there. This is all with just non epic gear. I'm guessing sweyn can give you
better information on harder difficulties.
Just my 2 cents,

The magic number for VoD normal is 72 before chains 76 on hard and 82 on elite.
