    Guess it depends on how close you are to the next tier of dex for that extra 1% block rate. Anyone have the tier breakdowns handy?

    The p1 DS do massively less damage than the ones throughout the rest of the fight. The only one I use a cooldown for in p1 is Rampart on the very first one because you've also got the 3 adds to deal with, so it alleviates healing stress. Plus it will be back up by the time you need it in p2.

    What we've always done with running out of CDs in p5 is have the OT throw in a cover+rampart for a DS, just a single link like that is usually enough to safely get through the rest of the fight.

    Basically this, but we solo tank. Only CD I use before conflag phase is Sentinel for the first DS with Twin and the 3 adds on me. Shouldn't run out until final phase like that.

    I saw a dude doing all tank runs of t1 to spam to get the mount...apparently they were just entering/exiting and that counted as an 8 man run....or something like that, can anyone confirm or deny that this works?...i want my lion

    Do you know if it was as a premade, or was it from DF? I'll check either way, but I'm kinda doubtful.

    Well, DF didn't count. I'll check PF/Premade later tonight after my group finishes Turn 8.

    I got my first tank achievement after clearing T4 not on enter, so that's probably a bust.

    might have been you have to be in for a certain amount of time (3 min rule like echo's?) and or complete certain parts?....but that would be slow with 8 tanks, even all sword oath and no defiance....killing ADS would suck

    As someone who spent the last two weeks having my gear broken by Turn 6, I can say with reasonable confidence that only full clears count.

    I just hit 60/200 last night...the majority of that just trying to get the damn fending neck from T1. So if theres a shortcut I definitely want to know.

    Does anyone know the acc requirement for Turn 8? Sitting at 497 and missing considerably. ACT is averaging me at 97-98% hit rate.

    I just rummaged through reddit a bit and someone had 505+ as 100% (probably smaller sample size though, grain of salt there)

    Went in again today. Was at 506acc, and hitting 99% accuracy on The Avatar, so still not capped.

    506 before or after food? In my current set I have 502, but I could get to 509 by changing shields and the only i100 piece I have is the Weathered Noct Ring.

    This is what I'm wearing right now. I could be over 520 if I had Noct body (or break even by using Noct and swapping hands back to Valor).

    Spoiler: show

    Since my accuracy is at 99%, I'm going to assume the tanking cap is probably 507 or 508. Also, the Dreadnaughts seem to have the accuracy requirement as the Avatar, as I had a few shield lobs miss on occasion.
