    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.

    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.
