okay tam-tamara hm was really good, especially that it's a continuation of what I assumed was just a one-time throwaway gag and what's up with the facial expressions in the post release content? It's giving me a serious 2009 gmod video vibe

Ein Sof Or is also a pretty badass name for an ultimate attack. Then there's the whole "literally made POWERMAN 5000 mad on the internet" because the song has a similar sound to their one big hit. Yoship's defense was "sorry guys Soken had never heard of you  "

Since I've pretty much only been playing tank so far, I've avoided most of the ridiculousness of tanks that I've heard about on here, but I recently had an experience with a DPS as tank that I just have to share. We were doing Neverreap and I was making big pulls as normal. The healer DCed and I tried my best to Clemency and Hallowed Ground my way through it but I died at the very end. Both DPSes survived. Cue the red mage reading me the friggin' riot act. Apparently as tank I should never be doing the following: Making big pulls Using CDs on anything except bosses Using Clemency to heal myself even if the healer is DCed (it should be used to heal other players since it heals me too--keep in mind I had enmity so neither DPS was getting hit) Using Hallowed Ground (it MUST be saved for bosses)

As someone who plays tank mainly and enjoys redmaging on the side. Please don't listen to a thing* that pubby said, and please pull more and never stop pulling.  Scatterspam might be dull but Enchanted Moulinet feels so good. *Okay, the clemency point is true, but as you said, no one else was in danger so you already know this.

Rosalind posted:Cue the red mage reading me the friggin' riot act. Apparently as tank I should never be doing the following: They're incredibly bad (which you could have assumed, they're leveling RDM almost seven months after release) Healers do notice your Clemency, that said. But it's great advice to do literally the opposite of every point there. SB leveling dungeons will have you think twice about pulling more than a group or two - everything else, pull 'til you can't. If that pull will kill you, Hallowed Ground gives your healer another moment to get your HP back up. Rotate your cooldowns - if you have to use two to survive a pull, make your next pull smaller while one comes back. 50+ your job is to mitigate enough damage that your healer doesn't have to work TOO hard to keep you alive - a fantastic healer can out-DPS you. If you understand a fight, feel free to swap out of tank stance/turn Grit off - obviously a bad idea for megapulls, but don't be afraid to be a little more DPS-minded in small pulls and bosses.

It’s fun to do the blessed quintuple moulinet but I’m finding it rare for the stars to align to actually pull it off. Usually trash dies too soon to reach 100/100 without using the 2x cooldown.

Rainuwastaken posted:Doesn't clemency only heal you for half if used on another player? Seems like a waste if nobody else needs. Sorta. The PLD gets a partial heal (like 30 percent iirc) if Clemency hits another player. Less efficient as a self-heal but usually not vital when considering how quickly PLDs can get MP back now.

Renegret posted:Please use your cooldowns and clemency so I can holy more thanks in advance Man, if only more people had this mindset. Half the time I use clemency in a dungeon, the healer is almost offended by it. I only have so much TP to spin in a circle with dude, let me pad out the regen ticks while you explode on people.

I've tanked for a very long time and part of the reason why I took up healing recently was to see how other tanks operate. Other tanks suck. Primarily because they go too slowly. Let me tell you about leveling AST as a Sea Wolf. Talk about feeling out of place. VVVVV SettingSun fucked around with this message at 18:05 on Jan 16, 2018 |

The advent of RDMs is one of the few times I’ve regretted my main being a big blue slab of meat. Sea Wolves are cool, but they don’t really do ‘lithe, graceful swashbuckler’ well.

Hollowed Ground on bosses is a hilarious waste because no boss is ever going to actually need it outside of Savage/Trial/Raid stuff. It is for big pulls in dungeons.

When I'm healing, I look at boss fights as a chance to regenerate my MP so I can go back to holying more trash the moment the encounter ends. I unironically appreciate tanks who go ahead and pull the boss even though I don't have enough MP to cast a single medica.

Paladin can also pretty much survive dungeon bosses just off Shelltron. Almost every dungeon boss is a toothless huge slab of health that only needs a cooldown here and there for certain attacks, and almost never are they multihit. So Shelltron works out practically perfect.

ImpAtom posted:100/100 That’s it, yeah. The trick is that you have to be able to reach 100/100 without using manification while also leaving the trash with enough health to survive 5 enchanted moulinets or else it’s a waste. The circumstances don’t arise often for me but it’s very gratifying when they do.

Depending on your tanks pulling speed, building up mana on one big pack (and say throwing out one E.M) and then going to town on the next

Whenever i'm coming into a dungeon i haven't played for more than a year (i.e. since i returned), i say at the start "Listen, i haven't done this in a long time" and go relatively slowly, cause i don't remember the pulls, or surprise adds or even the way to go mostly. When i'm familiar (again) with the dungeon tho, you can bet i'll rarely just pull one pack. That kinda bit me in the rear end on that new underwater dungeon, cause i pulled two of those 3 humanoid packs at once, and the second one had apparently some kinda mini-boss who hit hard and died slowly, so i wiped us.  Renegret posted:When I'm healing, I look at boss fights as a chance to regenerate my MP so I can go back to holying more trash the moment the encounter ends. Also in that underwater dungeon (different run than the one mentioned above though), i was pulling big and just kept running into the boss immediately, with our AST (i think) at like 25% mana, which elicited some kind of passive aggressive "my mana doesn't matter" response. Didn't bother to say anything and just tanked. He ended the boss fight with 90% mana.

Well, it could have been different. If the coin flip had gone the other way, I'd have fantasia'd to a potato, and then fantasiaed to something else when I got bored of that. But it didn't, and now I can't bring myself to fantasia *off* Roe.

I've been forced to resort to honest tanking since I'm learning the role on WAR (or technically, still MRD) in garbage tiny dungeons, but at least there I keep getting sprouts so they won't know any better. I'm guessing you're not "really" tanking until like, late-ARR content at least.
