Hib Tank Group

[old.Zarko]

Lately there has been a lot of "Tank only" groups with 1 mage only or none. That mage a eldritch for obvious reasons.

I have always said that hibernias advantage was the mages, and therefore starting this thread where peeps can state their thoughts about hib. tank groups and maybe why they run in such a group.

I think that hibernia don't have the same melee "tools" as the other realms. Midgard has far more superior tanks (more melee dmg. pr. sec) and can run in groups with 1skald 1shammy 3healers and 3savages which i have a hard time seeing hib melee group can beat. Albion has bt far the best Melee group RAs SoS BoF SB and FH.

What do you think?

up to ppl to judge what they find most funny, if they find meele grpoups more challenging/requiring more effort from every player in group let those ppl play it then.. dont really see a reason to make a thread about it since the players play melee in hib who got them fubah casters.

 

[azshara]

like both caster grps and tank grps as long as the ppl can play and im in ;dd

caster groups are fun when you got a hero to guard them, and appropriate enemy tanks (read: 2h tanks)

you seem to miss the point here - not talking about fun and about weather or not i like melee groups, but weather or not hibernian melee groups have an advantage or not or we just have to be better to win (no help from owerpowere classes/RAs/whatever) or??.

I myself play both kind of groups - depends on what we got online.

at one occation we got a 3 druid, bard, 3 offencive tank and 1 i cant remember grp, was quite fun, but dont happen often

Id still like to run with:

1 Bard
1 Reg Druid
1 Nature Druid
2 Slam Tanks
1 Mana Eld
1 Mana Chanter
1 Other AE caster (Light ment/Mana ment/Void Eld - Prolly Void eld be more fun)

I dont think HIB grps take advantage of things that other realms are, things like AE disease/ AE snares - and using AE Root as main form of CC followed by the Dis/Snare leaving mezz as a backup.

It just seems that mage grps need alot more skill to function correctly - more than likely to die ALOT before getting a grp like that to really perform.

As stated before mage grps are great V ppl who dont know what they are doing ;/

wow, your penis must be mastodontic

 

[-Nuked-]

all mages + 1 slam bot or its not worth it imho, 2 casters stuck 2 each other isnt enough! its even worse being a lone mage in a tank group, if you all get mezzed .. they aint gana hit the healers first i promise its sad but either way there is allways some group that will over power your group.

hib tank grps can perform verry well...

sos can be easely avoided by some drastic changes... bof is anoying but choose right targets & its np

which is kinda weird because we dont really have any advantages except GP, and with deter4 GP doesnt do much. interruptable end regen, cloth wearer if we want disease, generally no dmg add (pbt instead) etc

and even with this, hib tank grps are easier then mage grps... fooked up game

Well you made me look up the word on Google lol

I posted em in my sig since a fair few ppl I know run the tests and I know they browse this forum occasionally.

In fact 3.8Cat + DX9.0b just nerfed my scores a little ;(((

Bah at 100mbit !!!

Then again 150k/sec is good enough for me

 

[Arnor]

oh lol ok tought you questioned the behaviour, anyway

we got this as upperhand: dr00ds got pet for interrupting wich is one thing u loose when ditching mages. Thats the only thing i see that we got but not the enemys tank group, Albs got best RA tools for it and mids got best classes for it..

As many ppl seem to make it look like its easier with melee groups than mage oriented but when playing support i know that me and mostly all my friends who play support lieks it better with melee, or atleast its a much bigger challenge
