Paladins and AC

[NaturalHazard]

The cloak turns you invisible, which is often a great additional defense, but can cause some monsters to hit other people instead of you.

Thats why its good to use against bosses with true seeing, ive never used it on bossed without true seeing, does it make you lose aggro?

I've never noticed that.

it's actually better than that, remember Sulu/Judge need to CONFIRM the critical hit.

We know this. My point is that most other people do not or will even think about letting a proper AC tank to be the tank. Again, IMHO this attitude of we MUST have a WF be the tank will only change when a Defender build has immunity to the healing curse.

Some people are just.............. I guess its not so bad when its the guilds healer who has to take care of all that extra workI feel really sorry for them esp when theres a good ac tank option. Though most people ive seen wont even go to vod or tod without a warforged tank, its like some sort of religious doctrine for them, it works well, but sometimes there isnt a warforged tank around and people get tired of waiting. Then someone says hey I can AC tank suulo, done it before many times on this toon, then people start jumping down his throat, zomg!! we need a warforged!! its impossible without a warforged!!

But if im healing and I know theres a much better tank option thats going to be much easyier on my resources I will be vocal about it.

Some people are just special . . .

Which makes it even more entertaining when you prove them wrong

Occasionally I subject pugs to my stalwart just for the pure ego-trip that it is. Did a ToD last week, late night pug where the leader (cleric) who knew me still insisted on using a barbarian for Horoth when I was available. This Horc had FEWER HP than my Stalwart. But he was the one healing so i didn't press it, got to do Sulu . . .

So we do this, about 5 seconds after we kill sulu the barb croaks, chaos ensues, half the party dies, i grab horoth and pull him into a corner. We finish it off and I tell the raid leader "See, i told you I would tank Horoth! "

It just doesn't get any more fun than that.

Heh, I got my Tharnes on my 3rd trip in VoD... I still occasionally PUG it though just to show the PUGs what is possible.

The answer already exists sort of. Just wear a Cloak of Curses.

All of the named items in the Cursed Crypt have hidden effects. The most famous one being the Defiance effect from the Docent of Defiance.

Guess what the Cursed Cloak's hidden effect is?

That's right, immunity to curses that monsters try to pin on you.

Now, that's not to say you'll never be cursed. You will, it just won't come from the monsters. It will come from the cloak itself on occasion.

If you've got a tank with a high AC wearing this, you will HARDLY EVER get cursed.
