    How to tank 10-12 minute WPSR's! (Youtube video)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HDAw...ature=youtu.be

    I made this guide for a reference point for tanks that want to start to get into tanking Wanderer's Palace Speed runs, not an attempt to impress the community! I know its not perfect, but I think this will help tanks get a general idea on how to make your groups runs go smoother.

    Note: Other videos for warriors have been posted within this thread, and I am correcting myself; it is Wanderer's Palace not Wandering, I am glad that was brought to my attention lol.

    I appreciate all the positive and negative feedback on the video. First video i've made, I hope to consistently get better with them.

    No, you'd fall flat on your face if you pulled like that, your healer would have to spam on you instead of getting to utilize the huge damage from Holy spam, and your small MP pool makes flash spam less of a viable option so you'd have to blow TP on over power which in turn chips away at your reserve TP for sprinting from pull to pull.

    Yes, and anyone telling you otherwise is making excuses.

    I wouldn't attempt a speedrun without full DL and relic unless you know the people in the group though

    Even if a healer can do more DPS than WAR, does it really matter if you aren't trying to set a record?

    You can run WP in 15 minutes with any conventional group composition.

    He didn't ask if you could run it in 15 mins he asked if a WAR could do what the PLD did in the video (which is, again, no) and last time I checked in a SPEED run, speed and efficiency are king, the faster/less taxing it is the better, that's what people look for.

    Yes you can do it with any rag tag composition but bringing certain classes over others will net you a much smoother run.

    Time is Time is Time and yes, to some, saving 2-5 mins matters (which can be upwards of a >33%< reduction in completion time, how is that something you just dismiss?)
