As a Tank, I know the rage it can be trying to grind the level 50 dungeon and getting DPS that scream at you, etc. Well. After a long night of terrible Duty Finder parties, my friends got together and went, "NO MORE! WE TAKE A STAND!" ... and ran Amdapor Keep with three tanks, and one healer. Two Paladins, One Warrior, and a White Mage.
Figured, why not? We've had failures before. Lets do it for the lulz... well we steamrolled it with no wipes.

So three tanks, and one healer managed what others didn't. So I challenge all of YOU to do a three tanks, one healer run of ANY dungeon and try to one up the pot! Do it! I dare you! Protest the bad PUGs!
GO!

How funny, my group got so sick of tanks that we decided to do 3 DD 1 Healer runs of everything...

Job well done! I find the biggest problem originally running AK, was seemingly having enough dps to kill the wall before it closed in on you. Now with 2 paladins and a warrior clearing it, there's no excuse for any party with 2 dps classes to not clear it. What was your plan for dealing with the bees? Did you just hold them to the side, or dps them down? With the recent changes to WP now giving tomes, we've taken to running that instead of AK and have been able to get times around 13-14m with a full clear, no gimmicks. But this still sounds like it could be fun to try :)
Once again, well done! -

Three tanks and a healer managed what others didn't? This seems to imply that you think it would be more difficult to complete AK with 3 tanks? Would it not be easier (and slower)? 3 WAR + healer would make sense, but 2 PLD and WAR just seems like a waste of time.

What? How is this an accomplishment? What part of this task seemed difficult at any point? I don't understand what this is supposed to be bragging about.
"Yay! I tied my own shoes today!" -

A good way to deal with the issue of having to group with the usual brain dead dps'ers. Kudos to your group.

Why on earth you would put yourself through a 3 tank AK run? That takes hours to complete. Insanity is no reason for congratulations.

You can 2 man Demon Wall with just a tank and a healer alive if your gear is good enough...

My FC prefers no tank WP. 3xDPS 1xHealer.
But grats on the 3x Tank AK. :) -
10-21-2013, 04:43 AMamnie
so. maybe I'm missing something essential here... but.. .is the problem DPS or PUG?
the word 'friends' in the OP kind of implies that you did it with friends, and I am going to lean myself far far out of the window and say: get some friends who play a DPS class. PUGS are usually worse groups than handpicked-groups (no matter if server randoms or duty finder randoms) -

Honestly with enough gear you can go any setup as long as you have a healer from what I've seen.
Hell we healers don't even need you! We roll 4 healz at a time like a boss!
Still nothing beats beta when we would roll dungeons with 4 summoners and just DESTROY them. -

I love it when people clear content with nontraditional set ups. Awesome sauce :)

No wonder we can never find a tank...because you clowns are rolling with 3 in one dungeon :P
Everyone is going to have complaints about the way they utilize their job by the way. Some elitist out there will have an opinion on everything. Other DPS have complained about me, tanks have, healers have.... I guess I have to solo dungeons because someone made a comment?
By the way...why even bring a healer? You can do a dungeon with a 4 paladin group...go ahead! Shock the world. -

Well tank dps isnt that bad if you are not in your tank stance. Thats why they have the two stances, so that they can be useful in setups with more than one tank. WAR dps definitely is pretty good, they can have very short periods of burst where they can outdamage dps classes. Not sure about PLD though.

In my FC we did the opposite, we tried out AK with 3DDs and 1healer and it actually worked well.

running with 3 tanks is just a middle finger salute to all the DPS waiting for hours in the DF queue.
