LF Tank teacher Templar

KV_Tootn · August 2023

Hello.
So i have a good time at tanking . Tanked Veterans and some trials. Im a level 1260 cp orc Templar.
Mostly i do good and i have no problems to survive dungeons, but i think im missing something , so im looking for a TANK teacher who can assist in
a bit with my tanking, and give me some advice maybe to polish my skills.
If you have a bit time and have discord and are not afraid to talk , i would like to get *schooled by you.(learn)
English is not my native ,but i speak fluently.
Dm me on discord - totenmond or write here...

Thank you for reading.

what kind of thing would you say you are "missing" im assuming based on your wording you have tanked veteran dungeons and trials

if you can tank vet trials without problems, then you should probably be in a good spot, unless its more of a gear question, or if there is additional things you can try to do besides taunting the boss and chaining adds

so if your using recommended trial gear setup for a tank, you can also go into the veteran asylum trial and practice tanking there

no adds until minis spawn so you can just go in and see how long you can hold out against the boss (or until the mini shows up and inevitably kills you) lol

Hello. Thank you for reply.
My resistances are nearly all 42 procent and i have switchable jewelery for extra resistance depending on
boss. block mitigation is 68 %. I use Leeching plate and Undertakers. Still thinking of what undaunted i should use. For now i use Mualbeth the Scourger visage.
Using shield and onehand. one line bar. But when i need to do dps i switch to second bar.
My problem is at some points i just when hiting block dont block.. its irretating.... Im doing something wrong or im just to stresed and i make mistakes...
I will take your adwise and go into that trial...
Thannk you for reading this mess

leeching plate is a good "starter" tank set to help get accustomed to tanking, i would probably look at other sets

if your in a 4 person dungeon group, drakes rush is pretty good as it gives your group major heroism

crimson oath is also a common tank set because it further reduces the enemy resistances

there are also trial sets as well, which give minor aegis (5% dmg reduction against monsters)

resistance wise, 33k resistance is the armor cap for 50% mitigation

for a full tank, you would probably want to do 1h/shield and ice staff, remember when your in a group, your only job is to stay alive and manage adds, and then provide debuffs/buffs, not necessarily deal dmg (the avg dps of a trial tank is between 1700-3500 dps)

you can use the armory system to switch to a higher dps build though

i can look up additional gear setups if that would help for more suggestions to help you practice with

Just resorted my second bar to ice undertakes staff , will go in the morning and try the second bar thing..
Will think about these sets. Looks like i will need to do some grinding

))
So i cantransmute to what i need. What about undauted sets?
Thank you for replying and reading

yeah once you have them collected you will be able to recreate with transmutes, or you can transmute the traits on drops you get

for a reference, the usual setups the tanks run in the vet trials im in are

main tank tends to use crimson oath, turning tide, and tremorscale
off tank tends to use saxheel with either pearlescent ward or powerful assault, and the nazaray monster set

crimson oath and tremorscale add around -5500 unique resistance debuff, on top of the ~9000 resistance debuff from the 1h/shield taunt, which means the dps only need to build in about 4000 penetration to basically be ignoring enemy resistance entirely

im not entirely sure what you mean by undaunted sets, unless your talking about the monster sets (but i included some in my list)

How about my survivability..?
If i change whole gear i simply need to rely on healers . And most of them are lacking the heals.
So i need sometimes to ignor the fully....

I can do already all the Crimson tide and turning tide and nazaray gear.. need now to colect some transmute crystals

)
or grind it till i get the needed set items.....
For now im go into the trial u mentioned to see the sustainability and survive.
Undaunted , yes i mean the paldron and head set from monsters.. YOu already noted them.. TY for now.. will post after i get
in the trial to see how it goes

your survivability will be a combination of CP, blocking and making sure your buffed at the right time

the templar has a lot of heals in the toolkit (you can get at least 2 heal over time, 1 from cleansing ritual and 1 from the rune)

the rune is actually really good for a templar because one morph has a stamina restore, which works through block to help counter block cost, and it provides your major resolve armor buff

usually to get your block mitigation up, you want to be running more sturdy trait armor, and there is also the bracing anchor CP slottable (20% block mitigation bonus, but it will reduce your move speed, which can be bad depending on which fight your doing, but most of the time tanks dont need to move too much)

good luck with the practice
