My last post, on this thread, about PRR.
The formula shown on the ddo wiki page is incorrect. It should read... 1-(100/(100+PRR)) and not 100/(100+PRR)
To reach 90% damage mitigation, you would need 900 PRR.
For 99%, you'd need 9860 PRR.

The wiki is correct. Are you confusing damage taken and damage mitigated?

I was wondering if a Shifter race would be better than Aasimar? You would lose the sacred bonus and healing amp but gain endless rages which could benefit with the blood feast filigrees and keep the temp hit points up fairly regularly and make up for the 5% loss as well as other Shifter goodies. What do you think? Or does barbarian with certain enhancements and destiny choices provide enough rages in your opinion?

IMHO, Shifter is much better for tanking due to rage casting, blood feast, and FOTW primal scream synergy. Endless rage only turns out to be useful when things really go to hell in the raid -- multiple wipes, people dying all over, tank/s straining to solo long enough to reboot raid -- that kind of thing.

When raids go well, my tank might never rage at all; it's nicer to NOT rage while tanking because it only takes one button to fill with TMP HP. If you run raged, you need two buttons and a GCD (cancel, wait, rage).

I honestly don't think I've seen an Aasimar tank; it's not a bad pick, just not seen 'em. I see PDK & Shifter mostly with a dwarf now and then. I suspect PDK is chosen for it's appearance; it helps to have a tank that can easily be picked out of a crowd.

it definitely could be better. haven't tested it. Rages aren't an issue. I have 12 of them at end game, they last for like 8 minutes I think and I ever only end up using maybe 2 of them unless I need to dismiss rage for some reason, like raising a party member or something like that.

I'm pretty happy with my choices but I can understand why others like Shifter over this. I can rage and use Consecrate which helps DPS with party and provides healing. In raids my Consecrate heals me for 1,010 which helps out and my heal Amp really makes me a breeze to heal for nearly any healer which is why I like my setup.

I stay raged at pretty much all times.

Try your idea out though and let me know how it goes!

Shifter is great for hp too. Shifter gets +13 Con vs Aasimar (2+3 in enhancements, +4 Animal Growth +4 Spirit of the Beast).
Wildhunt is great if you want to skip DI, Beasthide has +1 extra Con and +22 PRR (+howl).

there should be a punishment for people that deliberately derail threads. maybe we could stop them posting for a period of time? not sure what to call it though. forum removal seems too harsh a term but time out seems childish..... there has to be a word for this....

They could put various badges on the user's picture or in the blank space around it. Derailment, Well-Feed Troll, Paladin, Soapbox, that kind of thing
