A very easy to read guide and thanks for including CHN in this.

This is a very nice guide. I'm sure you can apply it not only to this server. Here we don't need to farm SP but on some other servers we do. If I'm a STR cleric tank and I have let's say gap 5-6 I won't have the best gear I can get. So my question is how many levels lower than mobs I can be to be a good tank?

We had a cleric lv 40 with gap 9 (= 4D equipment) tanking at penons.



Oh, and good job Water. Add my tips to make this guide even more krall. I always wanted to write a guide 'bout this setup but never had the time or mood for it.

That's pretty cool.

I think it s important to note that we were 2 clerics this time (better aggro and more heal), no way i would have been able to tank with D4 LA alone

Also i d like to add some other things to the nice guide :
1. About the warlock :
Aggro depends on the range to the mobs; high distance -> less probability to get aggro (as DD ) ,so shadow armor is deadly for a lock , try to stand near the wizards and it will be better than our first attempts on kSRO (when i was aggro-str- cleric with gap 9 [mastery 47] at PEGs which Kalypso probablly is refering to ); ask Valkyria, he played lock lots of times in aggro-cleric pts.

2. To the warrior / lurer :
If you have the sp to skill out/ up howling shout, do it because the range increases 1m every time. I tried to use a lv 1 1H to reduce the aggro while luring with a aggro- cleric and i think it was less hard to drop the mobs to the cleric than using a same degree 1H; but i m not sure about that as it seems to me a warrior in general is a bad choice for luring with an aggro-cleric because of Vital Increase (3 x aggro ) and Protect- buff (brings aggro to the warrior ) ; + a warrior cant switch to heal itself and thats better than the better defense of Vital Increase and Skins cause a warrior has a lower range than a rogue and a chin has no pot delay. So, it is possible to lure as warrior but then take a low lv 1H and dont buff Protect i d suggest.
Even a lock/cleric buffed with PQ is probablly a better choice as lurer than a warrior just because aggro EVER is messed up while a warrior is luring and not tanking his lure then.
btw: What is the difference when the lurer is buffed with Protect ? I heard at old Venus, they used it even in 2 tank-setup to bring aggro/ mobs to the main/ tanking- warrior

About the Warlock:

It is possible to play as a Warlock in this setup. The key point is to keep distance to the cleric (like the Wizards). Playing Warlock gets even safer when you use 2 Str Clerics (hint: use Scream Mask on both clerics then).

Now you just need to DoT as much as possible (especially on Pt mobs). Because mobs are focused in one point, AoE-DoTs can reveal their full potential. Sometimes it can get little tricky to click mobs that do not have any DoTs yet.

About Dusk Armor: just don't use it. The damage dealt is pretty low anyway. Keep your distance and you are safe.
In case you are under attack: run towards the cleric until he has the aggro and then go back in distance again (same counts for Wizards that even have Teleport skill for that).

I read the text, now i want my 10kk! And pls, translate in german. I dont understand .

However I must disagree that warrior is bad at luring. Most warriors I party with nowadays are also fine lurers.

I think warriors are not bad, but worse than rogues. They automatically get more aggro than rogues would, because of their skills. Its perfect when the warrior ist luring and tanking but in aggro-cleric-pts he needs to loose the aggro. Another point for a rogue is that he will not have any hp problems, because he can stay in the healing range all the time and he will not be attacked as much as a warrior, because of his attack range.
