Tanking classes, can be all over the classes except for a mage in rift. A Warrior, is the one who should be the best tanking class, plate armor, high health and abilities to make him tank easier, however! Rift screwed with the tanking classes so much that they overpowered the other classes tanking. A warrior Tank has far more damage in a tanking class when in a full tank spec. However for its damage reduction, its pretty poor and not very good, not to mention, if you want to get the same health as a rogue or a cleric would in a tank spec then you need to put you 15 extra soul points in another tank spec for the health bonus! Making your damage go down a lot. As for a cleric and a rogue, both have specs that heal slightly and doesnt affect the damage reduction nor the health of the cleric or rogue, however they have specs that can make it so they have more health then a warrior could ever dream of having! Plus clerics can have some pretty good side heals as a tank. As for a rogue they can have damaging abilities that put them just under the warriors damage. So let me make this more clear, the warrior tank does damage that can be almost equaled by a rogue tank, and the warrior tank has less health then both cleric and rogue tanks. So really why pick a warrior tank? You wouldnt.... If you ask any serious raider in Rift they would pretty much always say that their tanks are a Cleric or a Rogue, it is insanely rare to find a warrior tank doing raids. Plus a Warrior has 3 tanking specs and 1 sorta tank spec, thats 4 specs that almost go to waste because they are a tank spec that is less powerful then the 1 that is given to a rogue and cleric. Difficulty increases a lot trying to be a warrior tank, because people cross tank specs trying to find a perfect combination. No full tank spec is actually the best way to go for a warrior tank. You need to mix and match to get a good combination sadly, while a rogue a cleric tank spec is handed to people on a platter and pretty much told to go tank stuff. There is a tank spec i have found for a warrior that for me reduced my damage taken by 33% from a full voidknight tank spec. I was taking 12k damage in full voidknight until i made a new spec which was a combination one, it increased my health from 42k to 50k and then reduced damage from a storm legion expert boss from 12k to 8k. I can post the spec if people want it.
