    Nothing is hard about tanking Tiamat as long as you have good tank party support
    is what he's saying.

    You're right about touchdown being the biggest threat whilst tanking tiamat? Or you're right about minnich saying terrorize > touchdown?

    I got laughed at and criticized about saying that Terrorize isn't the hardest part of Tia. I said I thought keeping shadows up while Mighty strikes is up/touchdown/Tia in the air would be more of a concern than terrorize because of support. I got laughed at blah blah he was talking some garbage that was pretty funny. Also claimed to be "the ninja" when saying "Do you know who you're talking too lol".

    P.S. Agreeing with you would be him saying something like "YEA MAN FUCKING TOUCHDOWN GETS ME EVERY TIME, I HATE THAT SHIT!"

    P.S.S. Yes staying awake at Tia is definitely the hardest part.

    your so full of shit LOL wow.....what a pussy.


    You said to me... what is the hardest part of tanking tia? I did not say terrorize...and you're like LOL your a noob. I laughed and said lolterrorize fafy/nid have terrorize that'snot even the hardest part of tanking them. You then said that TIAMAT hits 2x as hard as either of them and that is why. YOu can't even admit what you said...... your kidding right? No respect for you after that you bitched out.

    In my opinion if you have to point at something being the toughest like I said yesterday it would be horrid roar/touchdown/or making sure you do NOT get hit while mighty strikes is up. Those if anything are the top 3 terrorize is not one of them. You said it was the hardest part and other people have disagreed with you. Admit your wrong and this will be finished. Let's see if you can do that.



    You said you took screenshots... post them you'll once again put your foot in your mouth in even more.

    Hardest part about tanking Tiamat is claiming.

    The second hardest part is syncing your stuns to Tiamat's spells as to piss off your RDM/DRK.

Thanks to everyone who put in their input. I'm going to concede defeat to save face lol because well I know what was said. I made my point the people have spoken.

    Notice the spacing between the comments. On the bottom they are all lined up.... on the top spaces between the starts of the comments.....

    Being called a retard by a retard isn't really insulting is it? Can the same be said from a noob?

    No shit, Retard. I moved them together because there was just battle spam in between the remarks. I'm not going to post a huge image just to have people try to find out what I posted it for.

    Re: Tanking Tia

    Good morning, Thagoods Volume 1.

    I have been incessantly trying to comprehend your argumentation, as well as what your actual opinion is for the past 30 minutes. Somehow I still find myself at a loss, as you appear to be shifting it around as you please. I recall from last night during the argument that what we found so amusing was not "keeping shadows up during mighty strikes", but instead we focused more on the notion that "Touchdown" was a devastating move, as well as tanking Tiamat as it flies being difficult. You may argue that "Touchdown" is indeed a nuisance, but in all my time of killing Tiamat I have never seen one of our tanks die due to having shadows wiped by "Touchdown". In fact, since Tiamat flies a static duration, barring high damage, you can know exactly when it lands, wait until it has finished "Touchdown", then cast shadows with a nice little pause before it begins meleeing, toss in a stun if you feel like it. The epitome of diffficulty.

    As for Tiamat being a problem in flight, if you're fighting Tiamat without either a Magic Damage Down/MDB set or a fire resist set I don't really know what you're doing there. It's not like they're difficult to obtain either of these. The inventory space argument doesn't really hold up either, considering how often a magic damage down setup is utilized in end game.

    Perhaps if you had left out these two elements your argument would have been taken more seriously, but as is and was, I was myself entirely unable to treat you with anything approaching seriousness when two of the things you mentioned are things I can honestly say I haven't seen anyone in my own LS die to(or during).

    As for Minnich shifting his argument around? It seems to be the exact same as it was yesterday, you however have added "Horrid Roar" to your list of things you consider difficult, a move you seemingly had no intention of including in your amazing "Top 3" until Rukenshin included it.

    The more I read of you, the more I begin to question whether or not you have actually tanked Tiamat successfully. You definitely have not done so recently, considering I know you weren't a member of MercuryX, and you're definitely not a member of Wizardry. Perhaps your memory has become rusty?

    P.S Get off Rukenshin's dick, he wasn't really agreeing with you. He said terror wasn't the biggest concern, and that Roar is the only nuisance. Addressing people who only come in to answer the initial question with such reverence makes you come off as a prick.

    seriousbusiness. Let me call my friends to post on this for support. Considering none of them actually know about any of this. You weren't there bottom line. The verbal dispute started when I was asked "What is the hardest part of tanking tiamat" and since I didn't mention terrorize your boy went off with his rant. It didn't even occur to me that terrorize was even an issue because well if you learned to read you probably would've already figured it out. Let's just drop it, I did NOT mention his name. He threw himself in this I asked the question that was asked to me to see what people's response would be. I admire your concern for your friend by defending him but I think you've stepped into something that really is way over your head. You've missed the entire point of this entire discussion. It was for him, not you. Rukenshin and Wodapop are both people i've actually listened too and talked too in the past because of their xanga/live journals. What's funny though since your talking about things you know nothing about let me break it down for you. Minnich said the hardest part of tanking TIA is "Terrorize", i disagreed. Therefore with all that said I am assuming that Rukenshin did agree with me. I do not have a tanking complex I have no problem asking other capable tanks what they think. Unlike your "boy" I don't completely disregard someone else's opinions because they aren't my own. Unlike your friend here I do not need my "friends" to come to my defense it was an honest question. If other people thought terrorize was the "Hardest part of tanking tiamat" I would've simply took it for what it was not fight it. If Rukenshin or anyone else here said Terrorize was indeed the toughest part I merely would've been like damn I was wrong. Probably would've apologized for giving minnich shit and been on my way lol. Once again I did not bring him or you into this. I kept everything hush hush, I just asked the question I felt I wanted answered by other people who have tanked tiamat.

    I didn't argue anything when I said flying was harder I just felt that terrorize was so minimal that losing 30+ damage (depending on your gear is far more scary). I never said it was a problem at all however. I don't think in the air he is a problem but that's more annoying than terrorize, not to mention the pose sometimes your in is alot of fun to screenshot lol. Mercuryx camps against Senshu the same people who I ended up fighting tiamat with back in Oceans. Mercury is competing still though they are currently the top ls on phoenix. Nevertheless listen out of respect for your loyalty to mInni I'm not going to engage in any verbal banter but really don't patronize me. I could post screenshots blah blah but mehI don't know you, and sadly you were not there to see your boy go off so you're throwing fuel to flame for no reason. Yet you should know by knowing him how slick he is with his tounge apparently everyone else does. So you could see how this situation was elevated. I did NOT mention his name because I did NOT want this drama. I just wanted to know what the general concensus was. I got what I came for, so I hope after your shots you got what you came for. Are we done here now? This topic can be locked at anytime.
