MT Questions

[Kryptonix]

<div></div>Have some questions about being a raid MT. Been asked more and more to MT for a while during our raids. So I need some answers to soem questions1. Mit vs HP. Which one holds the most importance? 2. Besides the obvious INT AA line, what lines are fit for a raid MT? STR? WIS? or STA?3. Ideal MT group set up.4. If you can cap your Mit, is it a good idea to tank in off stance or should you always stay in def stance while MTing?5. Is it hard to get >11k HP?6. Is it hard to cap Mit?7. Ever seen that show Weeds on Showtime?8. Do you think we have the best graphic on our armor?EDIT: 9. I know Death March produces a lot of hate, but does it keep producing hate as it procs or does the hate come only on cast?Thanks you<div></div><p>Message Edited by Kryptonix on <span class=date_text>10-16-2006</span> <span class=time_text>03:53 AM</span>

1 ) Mit always come first, then HP, then avoidance2 ) depends what you feel your lacking, INT is always worth the 16 points, then probably STR or STA, depending on if you lack agro, or survivability3 ) SK, Templar, defiler, fury, dirge, coercer4 ) Not on inc, but when your mit is well over 6k, changing to offencive stance mid fight on trash or weak named wont get you killed. but at least for the first few seconds its best to stay in defencive stance till the fight looks stable, and make the decision then.5 ) not too hard with the right gear and group6 ) as above <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> i can self cap slashing mit at the moment, but that only vs equal level solo mob that it would be 80% mitigated. 7 ) no8 ) relic... probably... scourgeknight... NO9 ) less hate than the initial cast fo a poc, but still good AE hate. getting it to proc on a raid is tricky though.

<P> Would a Conj be better than the Coercer to help proc Death March. With Ember Seed, Death March would proc almost all the time its up. Wouldnt the added hate from Death March proccing be better or is the up front hate from the Coercer better?</P> <P>I would think Death March proccing would help as an MT more. The dirge hate buff alone IMO should be enough.</P>

[Xanoth]

either works, conjurer will also give you ~300 mit extra too. but you loose 85 int&agi, dps buff and hate buff, asd well as the power regen and other coercer treats in exchange for the conjurer goodies.

<div></div>If you have over 6000 MIT, keep the dirge and coercer. If you don't, drop the dirge or fury, and nab the conjuror.You can live without the intel.<div></div><p>Message Edited by Nicholai24 on <span class=date_text>10-16-2006</span> <span class=time_text>10:24 PM</span>

Would going down the STA line and getting DA be better than having the added hate from the STR line? <div></div>

[Nicholai24]

Screw DA. The AA is broken. Doesn't count mitigation, and only absorbs an unmitigated hit that does not exceed 50% of current HP, not max.8/5/8/8 Sta is how I'm specced. With aggro buffs and upgraded taunt / death march, rescue, HT, feign, aggro. shouldn't be an issue.<div></div>

<P>1. Mit vs HP. Which one holds the most importance? Mitigation</P> <P><BR>2. Besides the obvious INT AA line, what lines are fit for a raid MT? STR? WIS? or STA? I like STA, Int if you're having aggro issues</P> <P><BR>3. Ideal MT group set up? SK, Templar, defiler, fury, dirge, coercer</P> <P><BR>4. If you can cap your Mit, is it a good idea to tank in off stance or should you always stay in def stance while MTing? If your Mit and needed resists are still capped while in Off., could go Off.</P> <P><BR>5. Is it hard to get >11k HP? No</P> <P><BR>6. Is it hard to cap Mit? Not in raid</P> <P><BR>7. Ever seen that show Weeds on Showtime? No</P> <P><BR>8. Do you think we have the best graphic on our armor? Yes<BR><BR>EDIT: 9. I know Death March produces a lot of hate, but does it keep producing hate as it procs or does the hate come only on cast? The initial cast is the big boost, not too many opportunities for multiple procs off the same cast in raid. Initial cast near one mob death...death and 1 more proc possible. Unlikely to get to another proc on same cast.</P>
