RE: Stone/Stone Question 

never had a stone/stone tank, mine was SS/INVUL and w/o Taunt you can't pull stray baddies off your squishier mates, you'd have to pull the full mob with you. i really think you need Taunt for maximum tanking effect.

RE: Stone/Stone Question 

tank with no taunt = tank that should be deleted
you are not a tanker if you dont have it.
(note:even with mud pots you STILL need it).



I'm not a altoholic...no really i only have 1000+ toons...thats not..really...never mind.

RE: Stone/Stone Question 

I agree completely with robot mind, Taunt is an essential Tanker tool. Unless you plan on being a Scranker, take taunt, cause Mud Pots is pretty low on the Taunt Aura food chain.

I ran mine as a Scranker for a long time because I solo'd it, but if you plan to team a lot you really need the Taunt. The Mud Pots are not enough to hold aggro off the high DPS squishies when they are doing their job well.

Well, as a stone/stone tank, you can't have your cake and eat it too. Since your 50, all you really need to withstand GM level damage is Granite Armor (slotted with 3 def and 3 dmg res) and rooted (with 3 health).

But as you may know, Granite greatly reduces recharge so your DPS will be minimal.
