Mercenary Tanking Videos

so you grab aggro from a tank that, by the looks of it, deliberately isnt trying to hold aggro...

 

sorry, whats the point of this again ?

 

There wasn't a tank. That is kind of the point. You don't need tanks for anything. It's easier to just 3 DPS hard modes.

Would love to see a merc tank the bonus boss on HM black talon. Most HM boss fights dont do a lot of damage, they're just there to provide something for everyone to swing inbetween fight mechanic phases.

 

Added for your viewing pleasure. Healer was in level 38-44 blue mods. Err nvm I didn't upload that fight, I think this was a decently geared Sorc healer.

 

Battle of Ilum boss actually does way more damage than HM BT.

Even if this is the case at the moment I can't imagine it'll stay that way. the game's very new and there's going to be a lot of balancing in the coming months.

 

ive rarely seen bosses made to be harder, in any game. maybe a tweak that usually leads to bugged abilities doing WAY more damage than intended.

 

if anything healing would be tweaked, if a healer could keep up non-tank characters vs boss damage. but then again, players outgearing content helps with that a bit.

They can tweak the way certain abilities work and also the merc advanced class. It's highly unlikely that they'll allow a single advanced class to perform any of the 3 roles in end-game content.

I didn't take much more damage than a tank, but it added another DPS. Faster DPS > Slower DPS heh. They tried to make a system that seems to have missed the mark a bit.
