Did that "one" happen to be my guide on "Instances and the required level listings?"

If so, just shoot me a pm with the exact type of info you want, and i'll give you what you need.

If not, go check it out :3

the lower instances werent included cuz at the time i started, end game didnt start till you hit clops (48~/~). even now, i would still try to persuade tanks to start with clops, but thats rare, ...anyway, thats the best info i can get for ya., unless you specify, waht exactly u need.

yea, sry, the pdef values, well no one can really remember those numbers, BUT, if you read in the guide it states that the pdef, should be..."(NOTE: You should have atleast 1.5 to 2 times Pdef as HP, Example: 10khp ~ 15kPdef+, 50khp ~ 75-80kPdef...) If your statting right, you should have that avg)"...

thats only if you stat by that ratio atleast.

i dont remember it sadly, im sure some one can help you out, it might differ, from subclass to subclass, but that number is marginal for the most part.

DoD - I started tanking as a R/K with 30k HP and 45k PDEF (unbuffed) which gave me about 35/60K. That was a first boss only tanking. As for tanking the entire thing: probably the same if you have a decent priest.

Most important is HP and about 60k Pdef for the instance. Second Boss just uses mind control to make you run around until cleansed (nice "fix" there FA, since it used to be a "fear" attack which r/k would be able to counter and was bugged... just rename it to "mind control" and whalla! fixed). Third boss takes a bit of strat, getting a heal off on the tank as soon as he is hit for the 95% attack (if the fight gets this far, rare these days). The Fourth is more of a "don't stand in the flames or ice" situation (and hope nobody gets locked outside since the entrance is touchy). And of course, the last boss takes a bit ok DPS/is bugged half the time anyway/can be a little tricky without a high DPS party since he has a 1 shot attack that has to be countered by SOMEONE ELSE in the tank's party (and usually this means the tank gets 1 shot).

I may have mixed up 3 and 4... But basically 35k/60k is a good buffed HP/pdef range to start tanking this with any sort of healer. At 48k/80k I breeze through it no issues (can solo pot 1st boss). Honestly, it is almost more important that you are level 60+ instead of 56-60 as a tank. The hits are a lot less damaging based on level.

I tanked Dod when it first came out, at level 58 I think, and I had less than those numbers. Buffed to the gills, I think I got to about those numbers (35k / 60k), but certainly not more than that.

Assuming you are at level 62, tanking with those numbers won't be hard :)

And yes, I tanked on my knight side :)
