Tips for a new Vanguard Tank


Recommended Posts

Just looking for some insider tips from Vanguard tanks. I've tried tanking with other classes, and it didn't work out, but the Vanguard feels great as a tank. Having problems keeping aggro with large groups spread out all over the place. Any tips and builds from the community would be great.

Best tip I can offer you is to unsubscribe and uninstall the game.

 

Other than that? Start with mortar volley on a clustered group, storm in, use harpoon to bring in any distant ranged-type mob, explosive surge twice since they're free now, maybe toss in a third for good measure, pulse cannon, then go to town on your primary target. If for some reason there's *still* a mob out of range, taunt it to bring it in. Any leftovers should be melee types, since any ranged should've been your storm and/or harpoon targets.

MV to get the most to agro on you.

 

Harpoon in a loose one.

Stun grenade another in.

Riot strike another in.

Aoe taunt to keep the group on you.

Explosvie charge to finish them off.

 

That's for solo'ing stuff.

 

Group tanking is a different story and depends on the level of your group and their experience. If this is your first mmo I would run with dps and in groups watch the way tanks work the levels and learn from them.
