Question - Its time to play again..

[Dretski]

In november I got a few heroic accounts on Firiona Vie. Ranger, mage and chanter with J5 tank and 2x J5 clerics. Now I remembered that I had a heroic char on another server too, on a fourth account. Since apparently you get the heroic slot back when you remove the heroic char, I want to make a 4th character to use on FV. Im not sure whether I should go for a cleric/druid/shaman for healing/buffing instead of one of the mercs, a tank (most likely an SK in this case, or is a pally simply a better tank if you dont count DPS?) or a 2nd mage for DPS/pet stun mitigation or even a beastlord for flexibility and slow backup. Any good suggestions please?

SK
Tank is the corner of any group.

How hard is gearing a tank these days compared to a caster?

Is the SK still better just from a tanking perspective than the paladin?

SKs are so powerful. So, so powerful. Somewhat nerfed from the pinnacle of their dominance, but still hands down the best group content tank.
