Nope, no pet tanks in this game.

? ur doin it wrong if ur pet cant tank. just like letting a knight tank. give it time to
generate aggro and go. if u want to burn, u dont really need a tank.

Quoted from "ghostwolf82;475729"

While correct most people are idiotards and don't give tanks enough time to get initial aggro, a warden pet can have all the time in the world to get that going, and any good dps will blow past it anyways because it has no aggro skills to keep the aggro going once it has it.

Quoted from "trav42073;475802"

as an example, first boss dod, my pet goes in, gets aggro, then i go in then the rest of my party. full bore. if boss makes it to first jump he goes straight for my pet, all from punch skill aggro.

Was there a nerf to Spirt of the Oak? It did generate 10x its punch damage in aggro.

lol, still, Spirit of the Oak has about 1/20th of the Warden's DPS. Unless you'Re in a full r/s s/r party and they all have more than 100% aggro decrease then it wont matter. Punch has a 5sec cooldown and barely scrathes any boss

(it does have very little damage, on the surface. but just like oak walker surprises me with its damage, i was surprised that it could hold aggro off of me and my party. im not entirely sure how its damage is calculated, i just know how i can use him.)


lol. if you want to burn you NEED a tank, at least someone able to hold aggro and not get 1-shotted

(im not a scout i have no interest in burns. we dig the strategy. so w/e.)


lol, first off, DoD is NOT a reference since it can easily be soloable, it doesnt count as end-game anymore. secondly, you'll never see spirit of the oak tank, i've seen some good tanks having trouble holding aggro over some mages or warriors, i wouldnt even see Spirit of the Oak last more than 1 sec on the threat meter.

(first off, noone said anything about endgame. im not endgame by any means. only about 1/3 of the way there gearwise. i have used him as a tank in further instances, with less success but as im not even geared to run rt,kt,gc or sc, he doesnt do as well, i gather as i get geared equal to those instances he will do better.)

At the very least a Wd/M's Spirit of the Oak has more chance of tanking since it has a 4sec punch vs a 5sec punch and has about 50% more pdef. Still, im pretty sure aggro would be a issue unless you are WWAAAYY overgeared than anyone in your party. (a Wd/W's Spirit of the Oak used to be able to tank for about 5 seconds because of Ire, other than that forget it).

I invite you to prove us wrong with a fraps of your DoD parties.

i just know what i see time after time. i can be on the boss full bore, he jumps and when he lands, he goes straight for my spirit. everytime unless my pet is dumb enough to stay standing on the x wich he occasionally is. but ill work on that fraps.)

The WARDEN is the only Class. There are some Glitches in Siege war using a Warden pet but that seems to be fixed.
