How exactly do Clannfear and Unstable compare to each other?

    This has been my experience, as well.

    I was too lazy to switch back to the Clannfear, and have been running with the VF for a while now, and find that I rarely bother to activate him; on most content, using his ticks means things die maybe a second or two sooner, at best. And in harder fights, he tends to die anyway.

    I can see how - in situations where DPS really matters - the VF has a lot of use. He definitely does do a lot of damage; it's just that the damage is wasted in (seemingly) all but the hardest content.

    But he's definitely not a useful tank; he can sorta hold aggro, but it's nowhere near as consistent as the Clannfear.

    I agree completely with the idea that the Clannfear shines in boss fights. Tanks have two purposes:
    1. Controlling bosses
    2. Controlling large quantities of trash mobs

    #1 is more important for almost any tank ... and the Clannfear in particular doesn't do #2 anyway. :)

    I still need a tank to solo tough bosses. Probably this is because my playing skills are inferior to yours.

    I doubt im all that better, if at all. Just an fyi, if you're soloing I found streak to be a must.

    Example Whisperer pulls you in, streak out is way better than trying to run/roll.

    Say you aggro everything and boss, streak just stunned the mob and dealt 5k to each.

    Imo streak + ward makes all content do-able

    "Need" and "want" are two different things.

    Clannefear has way more health then other 4 options ... I think it was 20k last time I checked. Also some of these pets are holding aggro on pts just loses arrgo if you heavy attack. (hold y and click)
