SCH/RDM tanking JoL?

[evilpaul]

Has anyone tried using SCH to tank JoL? It wouldn't be as optimal as RDM/NIN or Aegis PLD, but seems like it could get the job done reasonably well?

[drwaffles]

BLM/RDM could probably tank JoL with enough Refresh...

[Fingerspitz]

Pretty much any job can tank JoL, not having to worry about physical damage leaves you free to kick back and generate hate however the hell you want as long as you have a decent tank party. So yeah SCH would probably work out about like rdm just a little slower and with fewer gear choices. You might want to sub nin so a few shark hits don't kill you if pullers are slow.

Any job can tank JOL, the only problem are the summons. To answer your question, yes, but make sure your co-tank isn't slacking just in case summons decide to rape you.

[Tricen]

Yeah, when lowmanning, summons can fuck you up. Lemme try to find a pic:

= bad news bears. Or just get pullers who don't suck

That is a lowman JoL? I don't get it, the ally is almost full.

16 people is hardly low man but if you are fighting without extensive reserves have both tanks build hate and after 5-6mins have 1 tank back off and slow down on hate spells basically allowing the other tank to solo tank. It avoids the need to make both tanks stand together and potentially both get killed by Astral flow and it allows damage to be dealt much faster with /thf melees and JoL facing only 1 direction (this only applies if you are using melees ofcourse but /thf is considerably better for damage and also for survival).

To avoid all blms getting owned from astral flow they should be spread out and whoever is ga pulling them should move them away from tanks but not straight into the middle of the blms, if this is done correctly the adds can never wipe your entire alliance and you can always have a backup tank with capped CE and high VE ready to step in.

[hypnotizd]

Yeah if that is lowman I'd love to see how many people you normally take to a JoL. As long as the SCH has enough refresh and MDB it should be fine. The -aga's and astral flows (if you have slow pullers) are the only things you need to worry about really.

[SargentRemora]

I can see this working. I myself have tried tanking as SCH in Addendum: White (for Celerity Stoneskin etc) and casting hate spells such as Blind, Bind, Sleep etc. Only problem was when the BLMs started overnuking (was a low man Anantaboga).

[nekura]

I don't think he necessarily meant that that was a lowman JoL, just that a lot of people will die if shit hits the fan which is all the more exciting in an actual lowman situation.

Edit: Maybe I'm being optimistic though. :b

[Tricen]

1 tank the whole time, but yeah shit can hit the fan pretty easily. Every time I tanked it, I got aerial collisioned x6 :/.

[Zumi]

How is that low man you only missing 2 people?

[Demosthenes11]

hey guys, I think we should all comment more about the fact there are 16 in the alliance

[fren.]

My sea shell uses two awful Pld/Rdm's (Purple Body/W.Feet/Bushi/Rajas/etc) without neither a Brd or Cor and they usually manage to survive the whole fight without dying.

With proper support and gear that doesn't suck donkey dick, I can't imagine why a Sch/Rdm wouldn't be able to.

[Grandphoenix]

what are you guys thinking set wise like full haste for SS/Blink then hate spells?

[Syntex]

RDM/NIN will do it better.

Why settle for less?

If your going for the "I want to see if I can do it" card, then sure any job can tank it but your gonna have a hard time keeping hate without the abilities a RDM has, not to mention MP management is more of an issue.

[DIABEETUS]

hey guys
just thought i'd mention










his near full alliance isn't lowman




sry, just contributing to sch/rdm tanking.

[Raineer]

hey guys, I think we should all comment more about the fact there are 16 in the alliance

Everyone has to chime in when their "I can do it better than that" nerve twitches.
