I have been getting some heat about having a level 6 rabbit as a tank because it adds focus and not 180 vitality like the dog so I am being called a noob for using the rabbit. I see the rabbit for tanking very useful because it can heal 1200 and regenerate energy 150+ for 15 seconds when maxed and it has a 16 second recast time that doesn't affect potions and such so that's really a potential 2200 heal.
The dog however does damage and decreases defense... Now why would I tank need to do those things when rouges could potentially use smoke bomb... Yes 180 vit is good but 180 vit is around 1000 hp. If you think about it with the rabbit being able to heal multiple times that kinda defeats the whole purpose of having an extra 180 vitality and really makes up for the lost vitality during the boss.
What is everyone's else's thoughts on this?
Re: Rabbit versus dog (for tanks)
#2I havent decided but another way u could look at that, every time u were healed to ur max hp with extra 1k hp its as if u have earned 1000 heal. But the rabbit could ease on druid (although dog adds more dps without sacrificing tanking abilities).

I see dogs so common on epona so I thought there would be many people casting canine bite on the boss anyways so what's the point.
Re: Rabbit versus dog (for tanks)
#4180 vit is a drop in the bucket for tanks so I didn't buy the dog. And plenty rogues/Rangers already have it so it's really just useful when soloing. I would've bought a rabbit given the choice of stats and skill, I just don't like a bunny pet. So I'll just wait for a better one.

#5I meant its an instant skill dealing extra dmg, but overall in matters of tanking Id choose the rabbit. In matter of convenience as a tank due lack of dps the dog comes in handy.

#6Just as tanks require 2 sets of gear (yes tanks do have dps gear to at least be able to kill SOMETHING), tanks also need both pets.I meant its an instant skill dealing extra dmg, but overall in matters of tanking Id choose the rabbit. In matter of convenience as a tank due lack of dps the dog comes in handy.
Re: Rabbit versus dog (for tanks)
#7Im not a tank on my main but I advised our 3 main tanks which gear to use for dps. Im fine with that, they sacrifice a lot having their main toons as tanks.

#8I have level 6 rabbit, as my base HP is 24k I don't need the extra vit, I'd rather have that energy regeneration and a mini pocket druid that can heal potentially 2200 with resto

Re: Rabbit versus dog (for tanks)
#9What is the potential of the dog at lvl 6? Any one has a clue? I personally have a lvl 2 (4token) dog as a lvl 210 warrior it feels it isn't worth it...but it's better to see a dog follow me than a Rabbit Acc to me
Re: Rabbit versus dog (for tanks)
#10My lvl 5 tier 1 brown dog at approx 1300/2220 is like 919 pierce damage and -212 defense. So maxed ability I expect maybe 1500 pierce and like -350 tp -400 def possibly.
