Nice, Grats! <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> What was your tactic with those healing patriarchs? Did you just ignore them or had one group taking care of them? <div></div>

<DIV>Sk's can tank just fine and anyone who sais they cant tank should develop an itch that they just cant reach.</DIV> <DIV>The reason why people say we cant tank is usually because the guardian just tanks way better and the healers get to slack when a guardian tanks.</DIV> <DIV>Then when a sk tanks they have to chain heal .. omg 2 heals in a row without having a zip of my soda....  /strike</DIV><p>Message Edited by Elymrish on <span class=date_text>06-16-2005</span> <span class=time_text>06:38 PM</span>

<DIV>not to burst anyones bubble, and this is coming from a 50sk who loves his class, but zalak is the red headed stepchild of epic mobs.  i swear i think a monk might be able to tank him. i remember when i was in my old guild months ago, and Zalak/Drayek were the "warm up" encounters that we practice on before we could do "real epic" mobs.  So in fact its nothing special that a sk can tank zalak.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Now if most sk's could tank darathar, the mean epic mobs in SoL instance etc. that would be impressive.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Ive personally tanked the 57  darathar ring drakonas etc, but IMHO  a guardina could have done it w/ way less resources.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Can SK tank ? yea .  but my grandpa could enter a marathon race too, he may finish but dont mean hes any good at it<img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>hopefully the combat changes will make things interesting.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>SK 4 LIFE</DIV>

hahaha comes strait from a 50 armor imagine that.  and what is that i dont know nothing about custom UI's hummm odd seeing i have posted about 50 of them on eq2players.com my friend.  So i know a crap ton about them i work as a programer makeing custom UI is very close to what i do all day at work so its so easy and hummm what is odd in all my time makeing UI i have never had to use that icon ever....  tell you what i will take your word for it you post a link to a UI that uses that icon ok?  i would like to see it...  I have only had say 30 different UI so far since game started and yet to see it but hey another macro person what do you guys get out of macroing is it fun????  no idea i really dont care though what you do with the game is your deal... it is not hurting the game ect so what ever you like but show me this UI i would love to see it.  as you know why would you replace the icon spell?  its just one file that makes that icon what in the world would you need to replace it for????  that has nothing to do with the new ui at all... so mabey you got your story wrong you dont know jack about UI's.

Give me a break and stop trolling threads. There's a lot of packages you can download off the internet that are a mixture of multiple people's work -- some of these do contain the icon images that are used by programs like EverCraft. Anyone can say the guy macroed his way to 50, but without proof you're just going on a witch hunt. Besides the point of this thread is that yes, an SK is a viable tank for Epic x4 mobs -- grats to the guy who showed others that it is possible and will be EVEN MORE VIABLE with the upcoming balance patch </span><div></div><p>Message Edited by Damanexor on <span class=date_text>07-11-2005</span> <span class=time_text>08:59 AM</span>
