What's the best tanker? Warrior/Cleric or Blader with fire

Post by Mefra »

What would be the best tanker?

Warrior (1h)/ Cleric or Blader with only fire


I say only fire, cause in the end you'll get to choose one...And I'm doing everything manually so probably before I reach the 130 with a blader the 140 cap is coming out soon :D

But if a warrior is the strongest tanker, what's the point of making a blader :? Except that it's the coolest character in the whole game...

Warrior is much better tanker ...
Warrior:
1. He can taunt mobs , blader has hard time with it so he sucks at tanking
2. He has skins + bless , making him impossible to kill
3. He has vital increase
4. He has KB with shield that has 80% to success.

Blader:
1. Pot spamming
2. Dunno =/

Blader with only fire. What ice skills are you dreaming about.

Because of that, Warrior/Cleric. It would have been warrior/cleric anyway though, put on the cleric rod and the cleric buffs, and you can tank indefinitely, even a rogue/cleric can tank indefinitely like that.

But it really depends how you define tank....although either way, warrior cleric wins, haha.

what the heck r u talking about?!!!
a warrior can tank for 45+45 seconds with skins and bless.. leaving him with only 30 seconds of cooldown for reuse of either.. in those 30 seconds he can easily survive without anything, or just cast two "healing cycle" spells on a row, where each of them lasts for 16 secs.
warriors ARE the best takers there are.. added to this the fact that they can switch to 2H, and deal massive amounts of damage.. warrior/clerics are the best class there is IMHO
(P.S.. i am a rogue! this isn't being in love of my own character)

Blader survives longer, true. But, a blader mostly can't prevent party members being attacked by mobs.
BEST TANKER = Survive under heavy attack + Protect party members
BLADER = TRUE + FALSE(in most cases)
WARRIOR = TRUE + TRUE
Warriors are best tankers, bladers are semi-tankers.

Bladers have no aggro. All I can hope is that they KD the mob when it starts coming to me. =\

But I guess in chinese parties they are good. *shrug*

Well both sides have pros

Warrior/Cleric

-Pure Str
-Can have a shield
-Mana Skin
-Iron Skin
-Cleric Buffs (too many to list for me)

Blader

-Pure Str
-Has a shield
-Numerous Passive Skills
-Numerous Buffs
-Basically a non-existant pot delay.



Personally, in a fight, it depends on who has the better weapons and armor. If equally matched… I truly don’t know. I would shoot for the Blader though. A warrior can do only so much with the pot delay.

best tank = 1h/cleric, or max fire/ice/bich blader

diff? 1h/cleric CANT kill and cant be killed with (80%KB shield crush, skin, bless) but blader can actually kill something with bleed etc. status

wow man. great vid. 32lvl blader actually killed a shakram lvl61 mob :shock:
Europian chars designed for party play. They are not good at solo(exceptions:rague and warlock).

For solo play, best tanker is BLADER.
For party play, best tanker is 1H WARRIOR.

He wouldn't be able to do that either w/o all his SoX gear and no pot delay...nothing special '~,~

Warrior/Cleric is the overall better tanker. People make the pot delay seem like it's something horrid, and it's not '~,o. Warrior/cleric can solo and pt play; just use 1h for partying, and 1h/2h for soloing (1h incase you need a boost of extra def if you're in a tight spot).

1h/ clerics cant kill if they r underfarmed.. a proper 1H/cleric will farm 2H skills as well, and those CAN kill.. just needs good timing to switch betw 1H and 2H in the right time, preferably on a stunned opponent
