I was wondering what you bear tanks wear for general purpose tanking? I have the follow gear available:
1. Royal Sewer Helm & Chest
2. Fury Helm
3. Full bodyguard set
4. Full Hateful & Rift
5. All the greens & orange sets
I wear Royal Sewer + bodyguard (maybe switch in the fury helm if I don't want to pot) for more difficult tanking. My main question is what should I be wearing for easy tanking - such as fast hideout runs, where a single beckon + stomp into the wall with everyone else's combos clears all the mobs? And also for boss tanking, where taking hits isn't too difficult, but keeping up DPS and holding threat over high DPS birds is difficult?
I've been wearing my hateful set for tanking hideout and gold fever because it *feels* like I do more damage and hold aggro more easily. I wear full bellows for tanking King & Queen. After reading this thread, I wonder if I should be putting together a mixed package of 55 gear instead of full hateful. It would be relatively easy to do just by looking at all the options and getting a better mix of crit/hit/dps with enough dodge and armor, but I don't know how to factor in the hateful set proc. Any thoughts? Thanks in advanced!
