     IRC Nickname: [Randy] Group: Raid Leader Posts: 5065 Member No.: 16 Joined: December 29, 2007 Total Events Attended: 499    | Before you attempt advanced tanking, you should refresh your memory of how to do the basics using this guide. Advanced Tanking Hello there! Everyone has a different method of tanking. The method I use always seems to work, so I decided to write a short guide. Any questions feel free to ask. The Route The route I follow is similar to a figure eight. Take a look at this map-  The light blue section of the "8" is a walking zone. The green section of the "8" is a running zone. The Strategy The strategy is to get your opponents caught around the fence. In order to do so, you must be sure to quickly switch on run while turning the corners. This will allow you to make a gap between you and them, making the auto-chase run into the fence (yeah, gf runescape). This is what the strategy looks like in action- (Yellow squares are you, red dots are the enemy, green arrows are the route) 1.  2.  3.  4.  When our pile is dragged over to the side you are tanking on, you run across-  When you are about to die, run all the way to the side, and run up and down-  This gives the enemy a longer run to get a new pile. Eating Anchovy Pizzas Anchovy pizzas heal the most hp in F2P. Since they are a two-click food, you have to eat two halves in order to get the full effect. The trick is, eating the first half of the pizza is somehow quicker than the second half. When being piled, eat the first halves of your pizzas. When your hp is pretty high, and your hugging well, eat the second half. Dragonhides & Protect Mage If you are comfortable with tanking, this method will decrease the number of binds succesfully cast on you. When around the wall, if the opponents are stuck and/or not hitting you, switch into a dragonhide body and (optional) dragonhdie legs. This will increase your magic defense drastically. When the opponents catch up to you, quickly switch back to rune. If you have mastered this, it's time to use the Protect from Mage prayer. Like above, if you're not being hit by the opponents, with dragonhide on, turn on protect mage.  When the opponents catch up, switch to protect melee and put rune back on. Explorer's Ring Obtained from completeing the Lumbridge/Draynor Achievment Diary (F2P). Using the "Restore Run Energy" option on the ring restores 50% run energy. Depending on the ring, you can have 1, 2, or 3 charges. This action can be interupted, so the best times to do it is when you are on your way around the wall to hug and/or dragging. Be careful you don't hit cabbageport. NOTE:The ring is sometimes not allowed in wars. Be sure to read the rules first. Hopefully you understand the concept of tanking, and getting the opponent stuck on walls. Practice makes perfect, so practice practice practice! You'll get it eventually! --------------------   | ||||

 IRC Nickname: Maths Group: Ex-Member Posts: 1855 Member No.: 54 Joined: December 31, 2007 Total Events Attended: 286 | Yeah I do this too. Works effectively if the opponent doesn't bind well.  --------------------  "Journeys are what brings us happiness, Not the destination." ~ Two time ex-raid leader of wg ~  | ||||

| IRC Nickname: bto Group: Emeritus Posts: 3815 Member No.: 196 Joined: February 3, 2008 Total Events Attended: 332 | Thanks for making changes Also, a note on the explorer ring. Its easier to take it of and right click the option (when you have room of course). When tanking, Ill go run laps around the walls when I have enough energy. If their binders are excellent or im low on run, ill stick near a wall. If you get lucky with binds splashing on you, 10% energy will get you out of bind range for the most part. Sometimes I wait for extra energy before I drag because if you get binded far away from a wall, its gonna hurt Sorry for being kinda picky, but I want this guide to be a perfect example of what tanking supposed to be -------------------- bto Ex-WG Warlord "It is our direction, not our intentions, that lead us to our destinations." | ||||

+1 I'd only try mage prayer if I have a 10 step gain or so on the enemy pile. -------------------- bto Ex-WG Warlord "It is our direction, not our intentions, that lead us to our destinations." | ||||
