Demon better at tanking than Sage?

While Sage may have better HP and Armor, it seems that Demon has far better Aggro and damage in Tiger form.

Correct me if I am wrong... but the limiting factor to tanks end game isn't their HP or Armor, but their ability to hold Aggro.

Doesn't this mean that Demon is the better tanking path?

    i suppose so, but it depends, really. its not that hard to hold aggro with spam flesh ream, so u might wanna go sage, but then again, u dont wanna depend on one skill for aggro, so u might wanna go demon. they say demon=DD and sage=tank, but i guess in the end, the tank will be a tank, no matter which path they chose.

    im going demon btw >8D

    While damage does play some role in holding agro, the ability of flesh ream is the true reason barbs hold agro, not the damage behind it.

    Even going demon, the amount of damage the barb does (usually) pales in comparison to all the damage being dealt by the DDs.

    If damage were a key factor in (Barbs) holding agro, then my lvl 51 barb would never be able to hold agro against a lvl 80 archer like it has. (Barely b:shocked)

    even as a demon barb spaming flesh ream doesent hold agro off of sparking archers and wizards with fancy +CV weapons. im demon i would know. though demon is much much better at agro with the full damage in tiger form. the only thing sage hp/defense would be good for is a few WBs and possibly CV end bosses. but no one does those...
