And if their Green; Did you remember to press a button you silly sprout?
Serious question, how and where in the settings to you make it so your Tanks have blue health bars, Healers have green and DPS have red?
ah yes, my favorite
tank guid
Why do you think PLD and WAR are good main tanks while DRK and GNB not? You never really elaborated on the reasoning. WAR makes sense, self sustaining and all but PLD always felt more OT since they have so many support skills.
I feel attacked by that "falling asleep" comment. I did NOT get woken up by that and feel embarrassed… that would be crazy…
Anyway, great video!
I might be dipping my toes into tanking in extreme trials soon, so good timing for me xD
TO BE FAIR – before Holy Shelltron had its self-mitigation feature changed from block to % damage mitigation, paladins SHOULD have been the offtank in most groups because Intervention was just a better damage mitigation tool than Holy Shelltron in level 90 content.
Nice change of tone in this one — fun to get a little more salt and humor than in your other videos. Great info as always!
Love the intro LMAO! Very good tank guide tho!
Decent guide for new people, but what gear set is that in the thumbnail? I don't recognize it and it looks pretty good
Tank guide – play warrior nuff said
you dingus
wtf, i thought you were supposed to make bad jokes? there were some actual bangers in here. and where the heck are my signature Azu pronunciation mistakes for me to giggle at??? 0/10 video.
Side note: it might have been nice to include what parrying/blocking actually does damage-wise since the game doesn't make it extremely clear. I always thought initially that these completely mitigated an attack and then I was confused why I was still taking damage while Bulwark was active lol.
A B C = Always Be beatin the piss out of the loot piñata
started playing a few weeks ago , did not want to tank at 1st (thought that it is hard bla bla) after getting my mnk to 60 i was like , lets try dark knight (he looks cool) , im having a blast leveling him up (70 atm) and its so easy that i can play it drunk , i love it
Leveling roulette DRKs are the worst.
but MT PLD cannot use passage flexibly, not impossible but…..
Video was great! I'd say that war definitely the most main tank of main tanks and drk is definitely the most off of off tanks, i think gnb and pld are both hella interchangeable as tanks. Idk if im the only one that feels that way
18:50 I mean if the dps rips aggro in the trash pull they should absolutely hit Arms Length to give you free mitigation.
Drk has the worst mit by a mile lol tho if being technical war has the worst personal "mit" but the best sustain. Ie it takes more dmg but heals it up.
Drk being the "anti magic" tank makes it useless as a mt because its mit sucks except the very rare magic buster or autos.
Also, gnb is a better mt than pld. Has better sustain and enough % mit buttons that you can even mit autos and still have enough mit for the next buster. Holy sheildtron is good but its nowhere near heart of corundum either.
watching this made me feel bad for you
For warrior there is barely any reason to use holmgang in trash packs anyway. Nascent flash/bloodwhetting is basically an invuln in trash packs on a 25 second cooldown. It's insane.
I think the only dungeon I would use holmgang is mount gulg with the massive pulls that dungeon lets you do. God I wish they would let you do that more often… I hate that there isn't a single dungeon in EW with even a triple pack pull.
Use corner to group up the trash mobs better. Bug mobs spread and bump off eachother but if you stop you pull in a corner they will naturally group themselves into a tight pack.
Did you just pronounce voilà as viola?
All the tanks are pretty dang easy, DRK is only "hard" for me cause my ping ain't great and all them double weaves ALWAYS clip.
15:26 I answered fashion… (for real, loved the video, may show this to a friend of mine who's reletively new and has been dipping his toes into paladin)
lol yesterday i was leveling up dark knight and gun breaker so i can start playing tank more and today i’m thinking maybe i should watch a video then i see you post a tank guide🧌
Bolide is NOT MITIGATION IN DUNGEONS! people pop that shit at full hp. i let them die. if you communicate ahead of time.. and then pop it at like.. so 20%.. sure.. thats acceptable….. i guess.. BUT NOT FULL HP.
Love the guide, not to mention the production of the video.
Just to add, 'kitchen sink' refers to the 'everything but the kitchen sink' saying about when you move out of a house and leave nothing behind.
