SMN/ACN Parties, Have You Tried?

Okay, so I have a level 18 ACN and I love how versatile the class is. You can DPS, Heal and Tank all at the same time, and then later on you can become a SCH or SMN..

I've had some ecstatic fun of doing 4man ACN runs for Sastasha/Copperbell/Tamtara. Although people were initially hesitant, we flawlessly flew right thru the dungeon, and it was lots of fun. So, has anyone tried doing SMNx3/SCH runs for AK etc farms? Most if not all of the grinding Dungeons have pretty weak mechanics that are tank and spank, so I'm curious as to whether people have tried it yet? Once the XP from dungeons is raised I see myself doing ACN runs up to 50. I'd love to hear from you daring folk out there and tell me how much fun you had

It is possible in AK because you don't have to move much to avoid anything and you just pull bosses into corners and have Titan stand there just like you would with a regular tank. Demon wall doesn't require a tank if you can kill it fast enough.

SMN and SCH pt is nothing really to write home about, Titan is an able tank and SCH is a a healer, so you technically have a typical 4-man party.

That sounds very uneventful. Once the Dungeon XP is buffed, I'll look forward to doing ACNx4 parties. God knows I've gotten all the primal books already, those things drop way too much.

I'd actually be interested in seeing ACNx4 parties for some of the later story and sidequest dungeons as they have a lot of movement mechanics that are a lot more involved than stuff in WP and AK. It should be do-able no problem but it would take a hearty amount of pet manipulation while remembering to keep yourself safe lol. The first boss of Sunken Temple was interesting to do as Scholar as I had to make sure my fairy got onto the platforms to clear her own Doom.

Honestly the only thing I can't see Titan tanking working for is Garuda, Titan, and Coil.

Garuda might be do-able but the first set of sisters will probably be the biggest problem to overcome.

Titan your healers must start doing AoE healing at the start of the fight so you can't exactly have the party hold back to let Titan get hate, WAR and PLD spike hate much more quickly.

Coil is similar to Titan, too much damage coming very quickly that your healers will pull hate if you can't spike enmity.

Just did a few dungeons with 3x SCH and 1 paladin, and one run of Sunken Temple with a Summoner replacing the tank, it was fun
