Is it possible to tank vet blackrose prison on a sorcerer?
Exodium
✭✭✭✭
Hi guys!
So Ive been wanting to do vet blackrose prison and there's a shortage of tanks that I've found to do it..
I've decided I might try and tank it myself but unlike the dragon knight tank meta, I want to try to do it on my sorcerer.
Has anyone had any experience tanking vet blackrose prison on a sorcerer? If so please let me know the build you used. For those that haven't done it on a sorcerer feel free to also recommend a build that would work and any tips doing it on a sorcerer.
BTW this isn't for score runs or anything but just for completion. I know there's seflish sets out there like plague doctor, leeching plate, batallion defender that could work so yeah post your recommendations

DoobZ69✭✭✭✭Put points into HP, equip tanking gear, equip a taunt, tank the dungeon. Every class can tank all content.2

Well tbh I havent seen any content creators of recent post tanking vids on anything other than DK. I mostly just wanted to know if anyones done it before and what sets/skills they used.0 -

You aren't looking in right places then. But you can get away with same tank skills in each class for most part and change things as you go.1 -

Possible only when healer throw you resources and infused jewellery poison enchants with tripods on argonians. Otherwise it will be very difficult to sustain with dark deal alone. Argonian DK or warden is the way to go for comfortable perma blocking. You cannot beat DK with sorc on PVE tanking atleast for now.Edited by Priyasekarssk on March 1, 2019 6:07AM0 -

A taunt, 33k restiences, purge, sliver leash, encase, bound aegis, blood atlar, dark conversion, ult war horn, barrier
Gear : plague doctor, dragon, Stone keeper

DoobZ69✭✭✭✭If you haven't got a basic idea about tanking then BRP is a bad place to start learning. All classes can do it, slightly different set ups required. For example DK has more survivability in general so require less HP maximum for "viability". Other classes blocking is weaker and skills are less stacked with tanking bonuses.
Ebon+Torug's+Bloodspawn for gear.
Sorc specific tanking skills: Encase, Dark Deal, Bound Armor, Lightning Form, Critical Surge.
Basic tanking skills: Pierce Armor, Heroic slash, Inner Fire, Silver Leash, Aggressive Warhorn, Shielded Assault. Defensive Posture goes a long way on a Sorc.
Mix and match as you see fit. DK aims for 36k HP, Sorc should go 40+, imho. Practice Dark Deal and still die while casting it anyway.
Put some pet skills on there or wear a staff like a cool hipster if you want, gain that over-inflated sense of Sorc tank confidence. Use and throw away, wouldn't recommend for anyone tanking seriously unless they're the kind that love a good hot *** shower. ChurrEdited by DoobZ69 on March 1, 2019 6:13AM0 -

✭✭✭I am inclined to say no you cannot tank VBRP on a Sorc tank. I've tried multiple times and failed miserably.
Sorc tank has 0 ways to deal with the bleeds and defiles.0331

MaselClass RepresentativeIt is possible, but very tough. The reason is that you have to face a lot of defile and bleeds coming in from all three bosses.
The main adavantage of DKs is that they can reflect the attacks of the first and second boss so you do not get the bleed+defile at all and damage the boss at the same time. For the first boss you can use defensive stance since her light attacks are magic projectiles, but for the rest it is very hard to deal with, especially on stage 4 when you face two different bosses at once.
So yeah, this instance is another one where DKs show their superiority. Wardens are also fine since they can absorb most of the damage, but they still get the strong defile and the bleed on top.
Sets like plague doctor dont help with that really. If anything, I would suggest using something that boosts your healing taken and ebon. Ebon gives yourself less health, sure. But the group is gonna gain more overall than plague doctor gives yourself.
Sets i suggest pairing ebon with:
Leeching Plate
Bahrahas Curse
Livewire
Defending Warrior
All of these boost your healing taken and Heal you for so much in there, especially since they are healing for every target they hit. Since blackrose has a ton of targets to hit with these, and you get hit all the time, they proc left and right. And they can all be front barred. leeching for example has a unique sword and a shield that you can get from lord warden, pretty easy to farm.
Monster setwise i'd suggest going for stonekeeper/earthgore/thurvokun. All fo these have their benefits and drawbacks.

Thanks so much that was really helpful. I'll probs try ebon and leeching then that should get me started and worst case scenario I've got a DK which I can eventually swap to if it fails. I'd rather just do it on my main than a character I hardly play on.0 -

Try this. Though it is described on DK example, it will work for sorc even better IMO.0 -

Thats cool and I can use the time during shield ult to cast dark deal and replenish resources etc? that would work amazingly.1 -

✭✭✭✭These sets are fun on a Sorcerer tank:
5 Bahraha's Curse (weapons and jewelry)
5 Leeching Plate (chest, legs, feet, gloves, and waist)
2 Swarm Mother (head and shoulders)0 -

Add Jailer's to this list, it's arguably the best tanking set for VBRP.
