Post your best fake tanks

Ok ! So you are a unskilled and a bad player if you play together wih support roles - oh my god and a lot of lol

Now please sitt still. You are only skilled and good at every aspect in the game if you don´t need the support roles-

Haha lol.

To be fair I never suggested tanking vet dungeons, pretty much all normals can be solo'd but it takes too long.

Example - frostvault normal. I run this frequently on my real tank farming for icy and tzo, queue pops instantly but soooo many times it takes 40 minutes cause the dps is too low. Last night I ran it on my PVP necro as tank, queue popped with all 4 over 700 cp. Cause I only had 23k hp one of the dps wanted to kick me but I convinced them to let me stay. Did the entire dungeon without dying, without losing taunt and around 25-30% of the DPS on the boss fights.

So this got me thinking, whats the best setup for running normals like this as the extra dps is the difference between a 15-20 minute dungeon or a 40minute.

At the moment I'm leaning towards just using my vMA/vVateshran build with an ice staff....

I think you dont understand or you dont read with understanding

if you are unskilled then what? you just need to play how it is designed to play

if you are skilled you can allow yourself to skip this design of game with support roles, but you dont need to do and some players wont like it if you go this way with randoms

if just just go this way ignoring support roles this wont make you skilled player instantly as there is so many bad players going this way faking support roles just to get faster into dungeon which is more toxic from their side as they are exploiting this more handicapping group much more than would do this someone with exp and knowing game

I never do fake roles. If I que for tank I will be on my tank if I que for healer I will be on my healer if I que for dps I'll be on a dps. Though I mainly play my support roles anyway I prefer being a healer or tank.

Another thread full of people who seem to think queuing as a fake tank to blast through the dungeon is what everyone wants.

At least have a bit of respect for your fellow players and check to see if there are baby toons in the group who need to do the quest, because not all the quests auto-finish at the end, and you blasting through it and leaving them behind waiting around for an NPC to turn up for them to talk to is not cool.

If you're that desperate to speed run through randoms get a premade group and queue that way.

During the event I would imagine most baby players will be looking for a fast carry so they can try and farm as many of the weapons as possible with soloing the dungeons an unlikely option for them?

If you were doing 25-30% of DPS how did you cut the run time by more than half?

Just the reality of pugging normals, the faster the bosses are burnt the less likely one of the "real" dps die by ignoring mechanics. Deaths are generally when the clock starts going into over drive. So no, you don't need a 50% increase in dps to see a shaving of half the time.....

That's why I said to check first. And if they don't need to do the quest, then you can go for it. But just don't assume first that everyone is in there to tear through the dungeon as fast as possible.

Most PvP classes of mine they all wear heavy armour, have good resistances and I can slot taunt. They push out decent damage and on 27k hp, I just about go undetected te he. I am a fake tank, and I am proud. See you out there, pls don kik 🥺👉🏼👈

Someone that has good resistance and uses a taunt, is not a fake tank. They may not be the best or even better then average tank, but they are not a fake tank.

Solo is the go people.

This is my experience aswell.

I've found solo characters to be the best for normal runs aswell.

Take someone who can handle themselves like your PVP build or Solo character and put a taunt on it.

You are a self sustaining machine responsible for your own healing, resistances, dmg etc.
If everyone wipes you can still finish it while doing your role.

If you can survive/take a beating while holding taunt AND doing good dmg that's ideal for normal run.
Same conclusion here mate.
