I am not sure whether they can stand on a pool of fire/poison/arcane for 30 seconds or not.
I saw a Wizard standing still for more than 1 min tanking, with fire/poison/arcane under his feet + 4 elites surrounded him (other 3 players already dead).

able to tank and able to tank+kill is 2 different thing man

tanking AND able to keep your dps alive is also another thing

whats the point of tanking if ur dps die and u can stand there for 1min and cant kill shit till the enrage timer hits?

imho tanking is not an easy job especially on how the AI's are scripted, dunno why players keep using the word "tank" so freely lol

oit. apa mau lol

Bought a1h 1k dps weapons. Increase dps but decrease vit. Kill faster or I die faster. Feel little regret now.. Haih...

ur barb no more tanking act3/4 jor?

This i know. We also assume that tanker will have to forego DPS aka kill.

As we talked about tanker, we talk about tanker.
Can Barb tank? With poison/fire/arcane under feet for 30 secs?

By the way, the Wiz that I saw could cause more damage than any of the players.
We were dead most of the time. It was the Wiz that killed those elites.
Wiz' Energy Twister (wicked wind) can cause 252% weapon damage.

since last steam summer sale i feel like malas d. very rare i play in act 3 cuz loot so so only. plus i cant do much dps, so soloing is impossible. I still depend on co op to grind act 3. to make me able to soloing with 'ok' DPS require me to upgrade weapon and change some of my gear which require bout 40-50 mil..meh...

Now I dont know what to do. all my gold, sold via RMAH d. now left like 700k gold only. huhu.

ive been thinking to equip full GF gear and start boting in nighmare . but dono ler, tehehee

TONITE WE TANK IN INFERNO!!

It's Friday night. Can I join?

bring it on

so who DPS?

youre like comparing builds without even considering gear wise swt

i dont even know how good the other 3 players or what kinda gears the wiz is on

the wiz im sure other than wicked wind he has diamond skin permaed, its a basic crit tanker build that requires high crit and loh gears

if you gear your barb according to needs of a particular tanking build, 30sec isint a problem

hahah! dunno..
elites enrage also enrage lah~
we wont die

Comparing builds?
Builds, gears, skills are all taken into consideration and we discuss who is a better tanker?

P/S I checked, the Wiz has diamond skin and Frost Nova too.

My best armor and AR for my Barb was, 11K+ armor and 1500AR (after War Cry + Mantra of Healing), I couldn't tank too.
If I leaped, it would be 33K+ armor + 1500AR, I could tank for 3 seconds.


Wah... ur AR 1k above also cant tahan n armor so high somemore ...play in a3 a4 so possible...if i build hp high, life reg n LoH cant recover my hp to facing monster.... my party use monk ar 800, hp 30k around
no LoH dps20k ,use shield... n use his skills...he can tank more then 5second.... I hope I rebuild I can tank abit n kill like cow........ I don't like ww build like belle dance .. disgusting hahaha.....

can i join

Now just like "if u (monster) dun die , I die".. Haha.. Some can kill easily.

Tank normal creeps, no problem.
Tank extra health + fast + shield + melee elites, no problem.
Tank elites with fire/poison/arcane/chain, big problem.

As you mentioned monk, monk can do pretty easy in A3/A4 with 20K/6K armor/800 AR/40K HP/600LOH.
With similar stats, Barb is having great difficulty. It is doable nonetheless. As I mentioned, if you can't solo, try co-op.

P/S By the way, 5 second tank is nothing. Leap gives you 300% armor and you can tank 3 seconds & it takes 2 seconds to drain your HP .
You can do 5 seconds too.

With the new weapon, can you survive longer now? Less deaths in game?

my LOH is 880 total. maybe not enough?

exactly, that alone is build based "tanking" in your terms, but if we want to talk bout real balanced gears and skills? barb wins, hands down

any barbs with decent enough gear wants to farm act 3? pm me or add me for details slythape#1514
