Title: Tanking Poison with tips
Post by: Dream War on September 01, 2013, 11:42:43 PM
Just something for new tankers:
Early Fight Tanking Vs Poison (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kbwHec80eY#)
If you see one person hopping on you make sure to have protect prayers and food along with tank switches ready. Always hesitate the chance of being the pile. I have seen many people get banged out before they even realise what is going on.
I am hoping that we get another tank testing event planned soon with surprise tank tests. + more KO power and + more people.

Lastly, if you are the target LOOK OUT for who is attacking you. If it is 8 melee and 2 rangers, the pray switch is obvious. Vice versa with rangers and meleers. When you are out of bind try running around terain. It really does stall them and give you extra time to heal up.
Goodluck everyone in your next fights ^.^

0:27 Notice rangers are focussing on me (switch prayers).    0:49 Majority meleers are on me now (switch prayers).    0:59 Focus on weaving through trees while eating.   1:10   The point of a 30+ second tank is to keep the clan on you while your clan is taking out them. The longer they are on you, the better. :)

You need to put steel skin on, it can really help. I know you were sceptical but you really need to use it ;)

Anyway, decent guide.

Full Pizza's mate. Fuck da Swordies.

Once you get good, tanking is all preference. I remember when I got quite decent in 2011 I used to tank in full hides and do the prayer switching between Range and Melee (putting rune legs on if required) pray until I make a drag then the full green dhide and mage pray comes out and you usually don't get bound, but you need to be extremely quick.

I'd look for a video of HAR doing it because he was just beast at it, but I dont have the time atm.
