This is one argument I just don't understand. If your trio needs your whole mana pool to be healed, that means they have more hit points. More hit points = better, I would think.
EDIT: DA already got owned on this point. I should have finished the thread before posting.
What don't you understand D? IMO Ghazzhaz for example won't tank longer than Balacha in full great MP mithril and 2 8/8 wakizashis because when Ghazzhaz will soak damage Balacha will just avoid it through parry/eparry/riposte. In the end imo both will get the same percentage of damage more or less.
But then, Ghazzhaz will need 50% of my gnome priest's mana pool, when Balacha can be fully healed in 20% mana cost for example.
That makes Balacha a tank with far greater potential imo than Ghazzhaz. Sure it takes effort and preparation, but that's what the game is about anyway. Look at the first post of this thread, stratford whines about level 30 undead barbarians and considers them overpowered ffs. Why? Because my priest gives them 6/6 battlewhips, khopeshes and battlespears and usually full MR suits to survive 2-3 BoGs before insta dying.
Generally, NPCs with EQ/inventory >>> NPCs unable to wear EQ/have inventory.
Unless of course I misunderstood your edit and you kinda agree with me, so just disregard this post.
EDIT: About the fear of EQ being hoarded on NPCs instead of PCs, it's far easier to gank an NPC and get the phat lewt than gank a PC.
Just for the record, this game isn't "all about potential". In fact, seeing as how necros were single handedly the most annoying class in the world before the death nerf, aggro nerf, e-drain nerf, etc I'd say that the ability to work as needed out of the box is much better than a slightly higher top end.
