Guide for Warrior Tanking?

DrankouDrankou
in TERA PC - General Discussion
Is there a guide covering warrior tanking anywhere since the update or in general? I'd love to learn how to tank properly on my warrior.

    Hope you don't let the huge crowd of morons like this gentleman discourage you of Wartank. If you enjoy irony, they're the same crybabies who'll say TERA lacks tanks

    There are no lack of tanks, Warrior simply cannot and will not hold hate on any reasonably equal or higher geared dps in anything harder than the 410s.

    Plain and simple.

    When you have to cross-IM to get a tank who is an alt from another server to run a dungeon - I'm pretty sure there's a severe lack of tanks ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    and this is TR I'm talking about

    Warr tanks seem pretty good dmg-wise atm, no party support or cc for mobs but i've seen a warr tank pulling 1.5m/s+ avg on all RMH bosses consistently.

    I don't know what to tell you, I'm on TR and there were so many tanks last week I got into a LK run with 3 brawlers.

    You simply haven't meet any good warrior tank. It's not as good at supporting like lancer and dps might not be as high as brawler, but warrior still has no problem with aggro excepting the first 10s where both warrior and brawler have trouble because of how bursty dps have become, and they don't have 5s max aggro shout with 10s cd like lancer. Easiest solution would be enraging after building up some aggro lead and not right at the very start of the battle, which I rarely see any pug tank do.
  • ImarabbitdawgImarabbitdawg ✭✭
    Lack of tanks probably not, lack of geared and decent tanks who do damage and don't die/don't turn bosses then yeah

    Plain and simple.

    Warrior can hold aggro. My RMHM has a War tank, and one of the dps, a Ninja, has high dps. It just depends on the skill level, people still are bad at holding aggro as a Lancer, and you expect people to War tank just fine? Especially with no information for them on how to Warrior tank compared to Lancer?
  • SirWagnerSirWagner ✭
    so much mimimi "war cant tank" "war dont hold aggro"....

    after revamp war can tank very nice...

    no problem with aggro after 5 sec (first scythe)

    I tank everything on warrior and lancer do the same dps output and the runs are the same speed on either character since I only run with the same group of friends for everything, the only difference I see is it is easier for me to lose aggro on warrior compared to lancer though it isn't hard to get it back. Warrior tank is only worth having in your party if they can keep 1mil+ dps otherwise you're better off with a lancer or playing lancer rather because of the party support they offer to make up for you rlack of performance honestly. Tanking on warrior is the same as dpsing on warrior except you just block when needed, avoid holding block down for more than 1-2 seconds basically tap block before youg et hit then attack more repeat ezpz. Takes practice like everything else.

    1. Warrior tank is fine if you're equally geared as the highest dps member. Don't expect to hold consistent aggro in guile if you have an archer or sorc that is in ambush or behemoth without a threatening. Also make sure you're sitting at a healthy amount of power as the crit cap dropped quite a bit and will drop some more when d-stance warriors get the +15% chance to crit passive.
    2. Manage Deadly Gamble well. This gives you a ton of burst as a war tank due to the recent damage and edge buffs it got and the increased chance to crit, but people often forget that torrent of blows has half cooldown as well which is huge aggro but you lose some dps doing so so use torrent of blows to block attacks and chain into blade draw if you have to use it to minimize dps loss and retain aggro.
    3. You're stun shout gives you 5s of aggro so if you need to, use it at the beginning to hold aggro from big bursts like archer's tbolt or sorc's meteor. Also after its enraged, make sure to deadly gamble and brooch just to really establish that initial aggro.
    4. As a tank you really need to scythe as soon as you have 10 edge. This is important as a dps too, but if you want to hold you need that dps from scythe.
    5. Torrent of Blows: This is the strongest block in the game. Not only do you block damage with it, but it also decreases the initial damage by half. This can save your life if you have debuff and lady lach is enraged.
    6. Manage your mana. Just bring some mana pots, because until d-stance warriors get the passive that restores mana with a successful block, warrior is almost as bad as lancer with mana management.
    7. Have fun. Don't let people bully you into playing what they want you to play. This comes from a guy who still plays slayer even tho they are the worst dps in the game right now.
