    Re: Rogue Tanking!

    yeah, its pretty cool.  from what i remember from EJ forums, these tanking rogues are reaching 104% to dodge after reaching the agil cap, buffages, and insect swarm kept on the boss.  so, these rogues are physically unhittable, but you gotta give them a long time to build up threat.  They might be agil capped, but i doubt that in that gear they could be hit capped which means even less tps.  I would assume all casters would need to really slow down on their damage to avoid pulling aggro.  I can picture a shadow priest casting 1 VT, and then just sit and wait to cast it again, haha.  Either that or the raid would dps in greens to slow down their threat, hehe.

    makes me wonder about 5 mans then...  put a unhittable rogue to tank a normal 5 man where there is minimal spell damage - you basically wouldn't need a healer... or at least not a real one.  5 dps team with a SP? hehe

    would be fun and interesting in pvp also... would totally own other rogues and hunters, hehe.

    Only girly rogues use dodge to tank.  Real men take the hits.  (Then vanish...)

     I wonder if blizzard had potential rogue tanks partially in mind when they added the buff that reduces the tanks chance to dodge by 20% to sunwell

    Re: Rogue Tanking!

    If you have ever ganked by the Thone of the Elements (very bad idea btw), those guys hit for like 8 million (no exaggeration).  I one shotted a warlock a while back and the big fire dude came to me and hit me once for a cheath death proc, then again for like 300,000 damage with like 800,000 damage absorbed by cheat death or something crazy like that.  And this is back when cheat death wasn't fixed and was absorbing 90% and also reducing 90% taken making it a 1% net damage taken... o.O  hehe, go try it, its funny when you see how much damage they do.
