SKs can tank any mob other classes can, if the players know what they are doing.  SKs have to work a little bit harder to keep aggro than zerkers or guards...other than that they can get their HP/Mit/Resists almost as high as those classes. You will MT in groups...SKs (as longs as thier spells land) can do this job very well. You will not MT in raids unless you are the raid leader, or you have better equipment/levels than the other tanks.

I've been buffed to 6,400 mit., so I can tell you that you can raid tank like anyone else. Leading a raid helps, but so does hoarding DKP until you -are- better equipped or equally equipped to your berserker and guardian competitors.<div></div>

<P>Sk's can tank......</P> <P> </P> <P>SK's are not a prefered tank in TOP END raiding guilds.</P> <P> </P> <P>HP; Just self buffed I run 400 or so under our guardian and abought even with our Zerk. Standing alone I can buff to abought 8400 hp, just to show off. Thats caping Sta tho, he gains more hp in groups due to sta buffs, I actualy swap gear out to boost other stas in groups because of sta buffs gained.</P> <P>Mit both have me by a huge amount, 800 or so, thats not counting there short term mit buffs.</P> <P>Avodance both have me by a huge amount, low 50 some % for me and mid 60% for both of them.</P>

Somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 ish to physical MIT. 2) You're not geared as well </P> <P> </P> <P>Self buffed, and I've worked on raw MIT and do not have the full suit of fabled yet, I sit at over 5K MIT and close to 7K HP with 4K power. We can tank as well as they can but we require a bit more work to hold agro. <BR></P>

I've seen a Paladin with around 8.400 Life and 73% mitigation selfbuffed .. so i think with that gear a SK would have the same. The guardian of our ub0r raid-gild had about 8900 hps and 78% miti the last time i saw him.
