thinking of coming back to EQ2,

[spirit]

<DIV>Thinking of coming back to EQ2, left about 4 months ago. i have a 53 shadownkight, but might roll a zerker instead. which of the 2 classes have the best DPS. and which would make the best tank for groups and soloing if needed.</DIV>

<DIV>You can't beat Berzerkers on group damage.  I think SKs(haven't played one) are more single target.  How well either of them can tank depends on their gear.  I love my Zerker.  </DIV>

<DIV>Tier 7 instance tanking/High DPS/Utility ----->Swashtank</DIV> <DIV>Plate tank with high DPS --------> Zerker</DIV> <DIV>Avoidance tank with high DPS ------->Bruiser/Monk</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Those seem to be your best choices imho</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Oh.....just noticed the bit about group <U><STRONG>and</STRONG> </U>soloing......Monk would be most versatile.  Feign Death, Invis, Decent DPS and Very good instance tank....plus lots of brawler only items on raids!! and leather armor is WAY cheaper than chain or plate.</DIV><p>Message Edited by Wildfury77 on <span class=date_text>10-06-2006</span> <span class=time_text>04:42 PM</span>

Our SK MT dishes out more DPS tanking than our offensive stanced (equally geared) Berzerkers, especially on named encounters which feature multiple mobs. <div></div>
