Tankless dungeon runs.

My friends and I have started doing runs without tanks for fun but have been speeding through them like crazy. I was wondering if anyone else has really tried this? We were using 3 DPS(MNK BRD DRG) 1 Healer (SCH) and it just funny how well it worked.

Of course the early runs can have Carbuncle tanking. And the same ACN as healer. And the same ACN as DPS. Pretty neat. Other later runs for whatever reason we lost the tank, and so the 3 of us left kept marching on while we waited. And we kept going, and finished the dungeon tankless. It is pretty nice, as more tactics come into play usually. Other fun times, like Ifrit or Titan pure SMN run, or fun things like that.

Did this way back in 2.0-2.1 times.

Back then there were so serve lack of tanks, we were running 3 dragoons + 1 healer for WP to cap our tomes, lol.

I'm talking about newer dungeon runs such as 2.3-2.5. With having 3 dps we could clear HM dungeons in record times.

If people could do it in older patches, what makes you think it is not achievable in the newer patches where the max level gear obtainable is on a runaway from the actual difficultly of the dungeons?

One of the examples of unconventional party make ups: No healer - 1 tank 3DPS Brayflox HM full run completed in 7:55

When your DPS clears trash fast enough, it works.

I've done it before-- my friends and I decided to do a 3 DPS 1 healer Tam-Tara run at one point because we all needed it for our books. Amusingly enough, it went more smoothly than a lot of runs I've had that were the normal party makeup.

I've done dungeon runs with 4 dragoons. Sometimes you're the tank, sometimes he's the tank... sometimes you're both the tank.

Also look for "NT Lost City".

I never did get around to NT Stone Vigil HM. . . I might fix that soon :D

Did KotL without a tank, The damn thing kept lagging from get go. Have to admit the dps were awesome with their tanking, I just had to make sure I didn't mess up and let them die.

On a positive note each dead mob dropped like 200 gil.

SE, plz nerf Lucrezia.

Tried 3 blm 1 sch copper hm... we failed on last boss but was back in 2.3 :(

Else we do a lot of "funruns" with friends... even when my friend and I both needed a dungeon on a healclass and another friend offered to join we just put a PF "join for animus book or fun or whatever you want we can complete in any setup" a frinedly monk joined and had no issues with our weird setup ^-^
Well and one friend puts some runs on youtube - its pretty fun to figure out some bosses on unusual setups and the wipes are worth a laugh

enjoy :D

3 man WP no tank, 1 Whm, 1 Bard and a NIN (the tank). Super easy!!

Tanked titan on drg a few times, those mountain busters used to get hairy, but now with gear now it isnt even close.

Used to do healer-less BrayHM runs 2/3 for myth, books were so expensive. So we started doing 3/3 with a BRD(lb3 just in case, but we've only used it once lol) just for fun, turned out to be very easy. Helps to have a warrior tank so he can pull/survive/dish the damage out for those big pulls. Haven't testsed it yet, but I believe 2/3 of both the new AK HM and WP HM is possible healerless and Tankless

I also remember reading on the forum about a 24 whm ST run I don't think they beat it but they did get to Xandes

My friends and I were leveling, we did Copperbell with three DPS and me tanking as WHM.
Okay....maybe I wasn't tanking per se, maybe just trying to be annoying and pulling all the aggro to me on purpose.....but I digress.

It was fun.

Oh, oh, oh *lifts hand*
Just came to my mind even if off topic: My freinds and me did an epic gld rog rog rog Toto Rak run... we all had all possible healspells cross skilled and took only one wipe at first boss to figure out burn > try to let one of us heal we had great fun ^-^

all blm moogles hm run,

2blm 2smn hala hm, bray hm and hullbreaker minus tank and dedicated heals
cleared other places with various setups minus tank.

its surprising how many things can be cleared minus a tank so long as you have some heals.

you don't even need titan egi from smns for a lot of places either.

I'm pretty sure one time back in the day my old FC went into LoA with 2 Marauder with like full dps gear, and the rest of us were blm blm blm bard, sch whm. I don't know if it counts people in raid chat were like WHY ARE U GUYZ NOT WARRIORS. lol

It was a one time experiment.

Though mostly tankless runs happened on my lower level healer, was like make the puglist tank they can do it with evade LOL
