I used to play as tank, at T6 when survival mode came out, managed to make it to round 4 as a CR 105 Earth Tank. Lied a lot about CR and skillpoints till they made that public information. Skillpoint grinding was NOT FUN.

What’s the worst tank to kill in pvp ? I want to create a tank for pvp but I’m torn between Rage or Fire

Hey, what do you think about Clarion or the Disluster for an Ice tank? is a good idea replace Everyman for one of those?

@iEddyGaming

Жыл бұрын

Not a big fan of clarion for tank. But Dilustel, like I said in the video, I use it for Rage, but you can definitely use it for Ice. However, I would replace Mystic for Dilustel because Mystic is most effective during adds phase only. Dilustel and Everyman works for both. Adds and single boss.

So as a fire tank, I shouldn’t have all 4 arguments dominance and should focus on Restoration? Because at the moment I have all my augments dominance and even my generators. If that’s the case that sucks because I watched a Obsidian chills video and he said dominance for augments and ice nearly maxed out all of that

A troller can start if they are good and the healers know what they are doing. It also depends on the enemy/s. The issue is that there are rarely healers. Everyone always wants someone to blame but 90% of the time you fail because the group is either not compatible or you are playing content too early and need to go get stronger.

Feel free to add more in the comment section below =) 2) I didn't mention Kiting in the list, but it is very much needed when tanking in Survival Mode or some Elite bosses. It takes practice, so kite tank when you have absolutely mastered other things. 3) Do listen to #10 point carefully. 4) Always keep one eye on the minimap, you don't want adds or any type of enemies hitting the group, make sure you pull everything RED as soon as possible.

Is there a reason you deleted my comment? All I provided was a few clarifications to help ppl watching this to better help them, especially when you put out bad info like the 6 secs for aggro doesn't work that way. It literally HAS to be 8 sec til you can refresh aggro. Superman a must? Nah, Lex is the must for tanks. Not all powersets will have a use for the group breakout (required on the LO for Superman to even do anything). Also battle tanking, while yes I see too many try to do it waay too early, is viable when one has the sp to support such a build, just need to know the limitations that come with that

@iEddyGaming

Жыл бұрын

I never delete comments unless they are racist or attacking someone personally. Your comment never showed up. Anyways. The aggro refreshing is 8-12 second but I say 6 because people forget and starts focusing on turtle tanking instead. Also @8:30 I already mentioned that in on-screen text. Superman and Lex can depend on your playstyle. I wouldn't disagree with you on that. Thanks for watching the video and calling the info bad.

I am here to piss off the elitist and purists in this game. I battle tank. The argument that makes it viable is that if you are a veteran of this game you already know that you can do group content fine with a battle tank if you stop trying to speed run content. At the start of playing the game years ago I myself was specced and set up to meta. The issue is that to keep up with everything it got too tedious and the armory hassles drive you crazy. Especially when you start building more than 2 armories. Also people still bitch and complain regardless because even if I did follow some of the meta...I don't follow meta rotations because I am not going to go try hard. I have carpal tunnel so some of the clipping and constant advanced pressing hurts me after awhile. I stopped caring about the BS and played the way I wanted to. Its not a job or a serious career...its a damn game you are suppose to have fun on. I rarely play instanced content because of the toxic behavior people bring into the elitist mind set. Also...those of us that enjoy tanking may not have the amounts of time or money to put into the build YOU want us to have. Being a battle tank allows people to do the bare minimum and still play all the content. I don't enjoy being told not to play in a raid if I battle tank sir...I will do it more often than DPS now! EDIT: I have come to learn that many people that complain about hybridized roles are PC purists, many of them are (not all) KZreadrs. Many of us that play these classes this way are on console...we don't have access to keybinds and macros. You can not assume everyone is willing to go try hard to make things easier on you...if you are so elite than you should have no reason to complain. You should have the ability to carry people and know how to read the battles...this is suppose to be a flex I thought? Its DCUO...regardless of how you play you will still get 1 shot at some point and you will find someone better than you at some point.

Battle tanking is where you still tank the adds and bosses but do almost same damage as a DPS because of your spec. You sacrifice survivability over extra damage, that's why it's only recommended for experienced players.
