Bear & Lion mounts

[Parodine]

You could do Coil Turn 1's even if you're not an avid tanker which right now is arguably easier than probably Titan HM since you get 20% echo at the start. Could do maybe 8/hour depending on your group. But yeah, Coil Turn 4 if you can learn the fight is probably the fastest.

After I get my Frontlines mount I probably will develop some sort of grind strategy for those, like doing 10/day etc.

Believe the devs have even said the instances that count will change over time to always be the harder 8 content, so eventually the early EX primals will no longer count. Hoping T4 still counts in 2.4....

[Bluevann]

To be honest, I think Low Level roulette should be included in the achievement requirements. Tanks are missing there as much as they are in endgame.

I got my bear finally over the weekend, and I've been a tank since 2.1. Reason it took so long is all those Ex Primal runs before the mounts were added didn't count

Time to grins my lion out now.


And I do feel it's fair to reward those doing the end-all content rather than just whatever (Coil1 will probably be removed from the requirements with 2.4 IMO)

Well, I do endgame content too but there is no reward for my class. Wouldn't call that fair tbh. Also, I've heard that there is a wyvern mount planned for DRG, can anyone confirm that?

Tanks are in demand and many other classes aren't. If Tanks were more common it wouldn't be fair. Until then it's an incentive. Also, no there is no wyvern mount planned that they've announced. Probably because DRG isn't in demand, and it wouldn't even make sense in the dragoon story line.

Okay, so what's the incentive for me as DPS do to the EX primals, other than finish them once? After I'm done with them I surely won't touch them again.

There is none that's the point, DPS are a dime a dozen in DF and won't be missed.

DPS don't need extra incentive to do them, though. It's not exactly an in-demand role. Tanking is typically a more involved role (as is healing, I'll agree that healers could use some extra incentive). I know when I put up a PF for anything, typically the DPS are the first slots to fill up and then we sit around waiting for tanks and/or healers.

There is no need for incentive for DPS to do Ex Primals. If you, as a DPS, choose to sit out an Ex Primal, there's a dozen or more DPS eager to take your place. If a tank decides to sit out Ex Primals, that's another half hour or more added to the queue for the DPS and healers waiting in line. Tanks need enticement to repeat content they've already cleared and no longer need. DPS do not.

As for never touching them again, that may be true for you - but by the time you've cleared two hundred fights, you're very likely at least slightly competent as a tank. Instant queue times can be a pretty hefty temptation to tank again, unless you absolutely can't stand the role. Need some Tomestones? Queue up for Roulette as a DPS and wait thirty minutes or more just to get into the dungeon, or hop on your Tank and get in in under five seconds?

A player who has earned one or more tank special mounts has put a lot of effort into tankery. Some will leave it behind forever at that point, but most, I think, will be willing to tank again.
