I made this video around two years ago.
It covers the basics of tanking but is missing a few newer things:
-Set your quick prayers to Protect from Melee and 15% Defense. As soon as you see your HP drop even a little bit, quickly hit the prayer button.
-You should have a Food Hamper from the Lumbridge Hard Diary.
-You should try and get a Great Orb Project talisman staff for better mage def.
-The pizzas and swordies combination is completely up to you. Try out different set ups.

I used all pizzas at the BK war. The first halves helped a lot, but after that it was incredibly slow. I'd say go half half on pizzas and swordfish - eat the first halves of the pizza first because they're fastest, then the swordfish as they heal the most, then the second halves. Although a first half-swordfish combination like shark-brew also might work.

Have to remember also, it's not just about eating all your food but conserving it by hugging/dragging is just as important.

Turn off pro melee when you drag, it saves prayer. If you're fast enough use pro mage hide behind banner and rest then drag again hash.png

Yeah top clans don't bother due to the amount of times they need to return and quick, but in non-returning wars like what WG do, that can work.


Darth, watch the vid i know you can't tank.... hash.png
