As a tank main, besides learning to pull properly (which is pretty easy anyways), tanks are just DPS with easier rotations and 5 times the health. Tanks don't have easier rotations. Gunbreaker and Paladin, at least before the rework (can't speak of current Paladin), are more complex than a handful of the dps classes. Gunbreaker specifically is a super strict rotation. If you fuck up you're misaligned from raid buffs the entire fight and has the 4th or 5th most actions per minute of all the classes in the game. Dark Knight is probably the only braindead tank and is an actual easy rotation. --- Currently Playing: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Replaying: The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky FC <cite>Holy_Cloud105 posted [p:972702227] in I think I'...

Jennywentnorth8 04/07/23 6:50:26 PM #19:	Honestly man I know that MMO spirit in you is telling you that you should pick a helpful class for your teammates, or even just a class that can queue fast. Throw all of that away man. Just do the class quests for the ones you like, try em out, or watch some videos. But just pick the class YOU will have the most fun playing, because when you first start playing 95% of your gametime is going to be spent solo. And I don't mean the first few hours, I mean the first few hundred hours. Even in the rare moments that you do have to do multiplayer, you are probably just going to get hyper carried by someone doing roulette. Your class is not going to matter for a LONG time, so just pick what you like. <cite>Jennywentnorth8 posted [p:972702490] in I think I'...

Holy_Cloud105 04/07/23 7:18:20 PM #22:	KainWind posted... You should unlock warrior I do have it unlocked and it's a harder class to use than Dark Knight. Dark Knight is literally keep 3000 MP for TBN and hit all your buttons on cooldown. You don't ever have to worry about misaligning your rotation and it does the most damage of all the tanks with no effort. Outside of burst windows every 2 minutes you press 123, and if you want you can actively hold your ogcds for burst windows without sacrificing damage. --- Currently Playing: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Replaying: The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky FC <cite>Holy_Cloud105 posted [p:972703017] in I think I'...

XenosysVex is probably the most famous savage raider that's a tank main and has been playing since release of the game. He ranks the tanks in terms of difficulty as Paladin>Gunbreaker>Warrior>Dark Knight. Warrior is "easy" because you can't die since it has so much healing and defensive options. Rotation wise it's harder than Dark Knight. Dark Knight you literally do 123 outside of burst windows and you can hold ogcds for burst windows without losing damage. You can't do that for the other 3 tanks. Do you do Savage fights? It's night and day how easy Dark Knight is compared to the other 3 for the absurd amount of damage it does. I've had Warriors mains use Dark Knight in this current tier and tell me they're annoyed at how easy the class is for how much damage it does. --- Currently Playing: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Replaying: The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky FC <cite>Holy_Cloud105 posted [p:972703265] in I think I'...
