[VIDEO] 1 Tank Party Setup in HD

[Guardia]

This video is to show how it is possible to do a 1 tank party setup. Since nowadays there's a problem finding tanks, we decided to use what we had rather than waiting for hours for another tank. A bit different from the classic 2 tanks party. Just need a lurer and at least 3 bards to stack dances. The exp output from this setup is almost the same if not more from the classic setup.

The setup :
1 tank
1 cleric
3 bards
3 wizards or 2 wiz 1 lock
1 xbow rogue.

I hope with this video, ppl will have some balls to play with 1 tank if there's enough bards in it. And at least xbow rogue will be accepted more in this kinda party. This is my first video in HD, enjoy.

Code: Select all

Edit : More info.
1 tank, 1 cleric, 3 bards, 2 wizards. Extra spot can go to either a lurer or bard or wizard.

1 tank will give full buff to cleric, split buffs to both wizards.

Those 3 bards will stack dance of magic and wizardry that will give those wizards extra firepower and mind that there will be 2 bards capable of being a full Battle Bards resulting in more dmg to the pt. Not to mention both tambours are up and hit / clout march for more optimum dmg.

The extra spot :-
Lurer = Either rogue/ warlock / chinese char. Will at least get a str buff.
Bard = dance of healing / vitality to help cleric healing
Wizard = more dmg without LT. Cleric should give this person a str buff.

w000t fcking looks nice, i want too

[xJasperx]

We do this alot, we normally have 1 cleric 1 warrior 2 battle bards 3 wiz's and a lurer. Although some times we go with 1 bard and 4 wiz's does great with the increased kill rate. I normally lure with my chinese bow.

[Sovereign]

That was pro. Wish I could do that on Pacific...

[NeoShadow]

Simply amazing
i wish i was higher lvl and a euro to do that :/

i might make a battle bard thx to your guide

[JadenX2]

how do you do the 2 magic dances? whats the trick to get both to work?

[Ayame]

what's the name of the song ?

[VforVendetta]

We have been doing this since like as long as we can remember, not because we think its pro, just simply due to lack of quality warriors.

[lopasas]

i swear to God, u probably lvl faster at ~95 then im at 25.

[Pan_Raider(`_´)]

proof that a second tank can be replaced

[Dean91]

seems like a really nice setup...shame theres hardly any partys at all that would try it on phoenix :@

[Talonos]

Good to see you guys finally thinking outside of the "perfect party" box. Maybe more people will enjoy the game for what it is rather then wearing a hole in Hotan waiting 8hrs for the perfect party. Shame it took a year+ to get out of that quandary.

oooo you said chinese in pt

maybe venus will be better now after people start joining anyone, server attittude sucks since its be euro or we wont be friends with you :S

lol trust me. until Islam Race, Chinese race will never be favored in a Party. But that doesn't mean we don't have Chinese. We have a lvl 9x Blader, a lvl 9x Nuker, a lvl 8x or so Bow. And a lot more number of chinese as the lvl decreases.

i doubt islam is going to change anything..

few things I want to ask you

1. How exactly do you stack the dances.
2. Is it true SoX can't drop from the inventory when you die? I see you have a level 16 sox harp
3. The first bard that isn't attacking, is he just doing orbit every 16s then standing around?
4. mmm Is anyone 95+ yet on venus? There's around 6 legits that are past 95 on Oasis so far

[Tasdik]

The video was sexy. Nice job

1. I wont tell u how, but if you understand the concept of how dance work, then u can do it. Dance need a tambour.
2. Everything can drop i think, i just had that sos 16 harp in my inventory to re-cast speed and noise since i learnt from my mistake the hard way. Dropped my lvl 85+7 harp at 90 cap while died soloing with wiz.
3. First bard that isnt attacking is the lowest lvl bard in that pt and he is the initial tambour caster. We dont want him to get hit and causes the first tambour down that will result in redoing both dances.
5. I believe Mindmaker is already at 96 if i'm not mistaken because he was at 90% lvl 95 yesterday. We're all slowing down because we need to farm.

1. Well, I do.. I'm pretty sure you just have one bard out of range of the other and both do the dance, then come together.. something like that, I've never tried it before. Wanted some confirmation.
2. ugh.. really want an answer to this, have a 52+5 SoM harp in storage but I'm afraid of it dropping while grinding.
3. Yeah I knew he was the initial tambour caster, as I said first bard.. was just wondering if all he was doing is keeping the MP up.
4. Ic

[Taelys]

You need one tambour and all the other bards start their dance on that tambour.

It's done very often on Eos, we tried even full int parties with 2 clerics,3 bards and 3 wizzies. If one of the wizzies is higher level than the mob he can act as tank in a party. Sometimes it works, other times it's a total fail. What I noticed in some turkish parties is that they use a full str warrior/cleric as magnet to lure the mobs on by spamming party healing spells instead of using the warrior "taunt". There are sometimes 5 wizzies in such a party for very fast killing.

you forgot Sanjou (8x pure nub hyb bow nuker o.O)

Edit: Forgot the main point of the thread, nice party setup ^_^. Too bad it won't be used at lower levels (penons/caves)

Guess we got around the same reasons at both servers.

[dorkus]

that how shit be done son.

[AkillerNXC]

Interesting.

EDIT: lol Taelys, I've never seen turks grind fast. Their parties make me piss myself laughing.

I agree, tho I can't confirm it since my bard isn't 80 yet.

[qwerty173]

nicely done

U quoted the wrong person.

[Sylar]

very nice movie, 5*
getting zerk in 10 secs with a giant nice!

[IceCrash]

Yea, i believe that this way everything's MUCH BETTER, it sucks luring with 2 warriors over there >.>

[Guardia]

We did this kinda setup everyday now when there's no 2nd tank. We dont wait anymore.

[dorkus]

i figured out how to stack them. not only that we also noticed you can stack hit march+clout march also.



mag dmg 68% increase
attack rating 163 increase

no, i won't tell you how to stack them. don't bother asking. i figured it out... maybe you can too.
