SAM tanking Chariots in Salvage.

[Amele]

I can't imagine anything not working with a SCH, RDM, BRD and a WHM.

with that kind of backline the whitemage could probably tank >.>

I will not let you dull my triumph.

Might have to try this SAM tanking business. I'm typically tanking as MNK/NIN with a WAR/NIN co-tank.

SAM tanking has worked well for my LS too. We usually go MNK SAM SAM RDM WHM BRD in main PT. For the most part its usually just 1 sam and the mnk fighting, with the other SAM running in for ws's, and 2hr.

Typically when im tanking (any chariot but LBC) i get hit for about 170ish with my oshit macro... which consists of arhats body +1, nq head, jelly ring and s kotes. and then if i notice mp is low or WHM is castin on MNK then i hit the super oshitmacro and that puts up defender and throws on earth staff. Chariots hit like a bitch then especially with rabbit pie.


its been said b4, but if you havent read it somewhere and u are going to try sam tankin i would advise using TE as soon as you get hate, or right b4 you do a ws or something... the proc percentage is higher in first 15 secs vs the last 15 secs.

We just have the best two or three DD tank no matter what the jobs. Lately it has been MNK, WAR and DRG. If we only have two support its usually just 2 tanks, but RDM, WHM and BRD and we use three, and pull one off if we are having MP or TP issues.

DRG is a great tank for bosses, too. It probably should be included in this discussion.

how does drg work for bosses, I've done sam and mnk plenty of times, or been sideline on drg with angon nice on, them do you /nin or /sam and what kinda gear/ws have been used for it, cause I would like to try it sometime.

[Akanei]

I'm intrigued, as well.

[Anklespanker]

To be honest... I think that if the player is good enough u could tank chariots /sam or /nin on nearly any job. (no smartass remarks cor/nin tank gogo!)

Ive seen Drk/nin tank chariots... sam/war > sam/nin (except armored c.) they all work very well.. Although i havent seen a drg tank/cotank a chariot i would love to see them in action... shit i would imagine a well geared drg could do some damn good DMG on them.. hmmmmmmm interesting.....

I'm tanking on my shell as DRG/NIN and it works wonder. Usuall co-tank with a MNK or WAR. I wear haste/acc gear to tank, and don't have any problem grabbing hate off the mnk when his shadows are down. Just time your high jumps and angon according to hate. What's good with drg is the boss will have def. down at least 50% of the fight (if Angon is fully meritted). I usuall 2hour with the MNK, and high jumps eats all the tp spam from Hundred fists making it a bit "safer".

I like DRG on SSR boss because I can Super Jump when he's about to charm, then the MNK can start running, if done correctly no one gets charmed then.

I'll try out DRG/SAM soon when I've time to lv SAM (6 runs a week + uni, yay).
