      IRC Nickname: megajayson Group: Elite Guardian Posts: 9246 Member No.: 423 Joined: April 4, 2008 Total Events Attended: 216    | Ok, this is clearly our weakest point of our warring. We all need to be able to eat all our food, and in the wars we have been having, you should be tanking every time. Now, there is no shame in admitting you need help tanking, so please, just ask someone to help you. It is important to learn, and once you have learned how to do it, its not only great for the clan, but great for you. Good tanking could lead to clan pile switching from you = keeping rune sets. Also good tanking could mean clans remember you can tank, so not to pile you again. There is no downside for you or your clan if you know how to tank. SO PLEASE, ASK FOR SOME HELP Im sure Randy, who has made a few guides, could give you some tips. But there are plenty of people in the clan who can give you tips, so don't be afraid to ask. --------------------  This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill Fifteen percent concentrated power of will Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain And a hundred percent reason to remember the name! 7th Highest Overall for Wars Attended. | ||||||||

precisely the point. there is more to wars than just tanking. we could have the best tanks but if our other groups lack then its just buying time for the innevitable. we need to think like tactical strategist. be the tactical strategist.

here is the facts, if we had a 20vs20 and we could tank all food each, even with our binds as it is now, we will be struggling to lose every time. KO's wins wars In order of importance it would be Tanking > Binding > Leadership So we need to get our tanking in order Then get everyone binding and pro binding at that Then we need to have the best leaders calling the right piles at the right times, which includes calling pile switches, fake piles etc. -------------------- This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill Fifteen percent concentrated power of will Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain And a hundred percent reason to remember the name! 7th Highest Overall for Wars Attended. | ||||||||

Definatly, binds you dont have to worry as much, as long as people bring them, its straightforward what you have to do with them. But tanking takes somewhat of talent -------------------- This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill Fifteen percent concentrated power of will Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain And a hundred percent reason to remember the name! 7th Highest Overall for Wars Attended. | ||||||||

More like some intensity or focus I think. It isn't that hard to be a decent tank. There should be a check list of what to do for the start of having to tank and the different scenarios that could happen. When it's branched out in your head in the right way it shouldn't be too hard? -------------------- | ||||||||
