Arcane Resistance as a Tank? Enchanted Adamantite set for taFollow

#1 Jan 03 2008 at 1:18 PM Rating: Good
Where would Arcane Resistance benefit most a pally tank? Would the Enchanted Adamantite set be a good set of armor in conjunction with the Felsteel set as a tank Kara and beginning Heroics? Mainly I just want to know where Arcane Resistance would benefit a Tank.

i wouldnt bother with it. If your def, avoidance and STA is on par with your content and your healers are decent you should be ok.

if your guild is freshly starting kara and nobody has any gear, an AR set for curator might work.

I've toyed with getting some pieces of that for HMech just because those Arcane Destroyers hurt. But I get through there OK so it's not really been a priority and now my gear's even better so I probably won't bother.

Now shadow resist... If you plan on tanking HTombs you're probably going to want that more than you'll want arcane resist for anything else.

It used to be good in TK until they changed it to be Baron Geddon v2, and I guess it'd be remotely useful versus curator, but I've never been in a kara group that needed AR.

I dunno why people were rating him down, it is a valid question.

The only reason to stack Arcane Resistance is possibly for the Curator fight, but even then if your healers are somewhat decent there shouldn't be any issues. The enchanted Adamantite set isn't a very good tanking set for doing kara, and if you would like a set of guidelines for tanking kara, check out the FAQ.

And I will rate you up to combat the rate downs

Arcane resist for the Curator fight, well that isn't really necessary. A lot of people call it a gear block and it is, dont get me wrong, its not that big of one though, you just need fast focused DPSers who don't panic when they get hit, clickers beware. Proper balance of healers with pot use helps as well.

You don't see arcane resist needed again until Solarian which has been nerfed to the point that you dont really need it.

If you need arcane resist for a heroic, well than you have problems greater than needing arcane resist.

Appreciate yall. I'll probably just keep the chest piece for the curator, but yea, i'll be working on getting better equip. Finally got exalted with HH getting the Archmage Blade.

Ah nvm I was wrong... he is sub-d by default. I coulda sworn I saw it at decent before then later he was sub-d.
