Warlord in a 5man?

[Turkin]

I think all them 5% skills will be pretty damn important come lvl 50. At a lower lvl, not so much as you might need more abilities to make it easier to hold aggro on multiple mobs.


I'm going to be trying out an even split Reaver/Paladin tank tonight (lvl 20)....Should make it easy to hold aggro on groups of mobs.

well currently I have not really had much of an agro prob with aoe mobs due starting a fight with the current combo of [ Plauge Bringer -> Soul Sickness -> Necrotic Wounds ] and Because I am level 27 I have the [ Balance of Power ] Talent that allows all the mobs that hit me to recieve reflected damage if I am able to block them so not only do I get healed but everyone is recieving aoe damage and for each block I also recieve a small portion of the reflected damage back as healing as well so threat does not see much of an issue.

I think this build may do very well for tanking dungeon groups...

Use the Reaver to pull AE agro and the Warlord finishers to buff the group. Has a bunch of survivability and utility as well. Paladin is thrown in for Aggressive Block

Right, exactly my point. That combination is great to hold aggro on groups of mobs. If you instead went all to the 5% passive skills of Warlord and Paladin, holding aggro on a group would be much harder...In end game though you'll be able to get both which should create one beast of a tank. I can't wait.
