tanking in Dzemael Darkhold

[-DMR-]

I've been switching back to WAR from SMN (for going through Sunken Temple NM and getting the remaining entries for the gc hunting log list 2).
Anyway, is the tanking role any good? I see there's the floating eye that wanders around and debuffs (I think thats right).

I'm not sure I understand what you mean?

doesn't debuff, it nukes you. If you're outside the light from the crystals, it does more damage.
Then you have to kill it. In the crystal lights

The floating eye can't be defeated or hurt until you get to the first boss area. He is the first boss. Tank stuff in the purple areas to avoid the AoE the eye does before you get to the boss area. Tanking isn't so bad just make sure when you fight the frogs that you don't get knocked off the ledge you may fall to your death below or be killed by the other mobs.

Only in the first boss room. Before it you try to stand in a light area while it pass you

From what I understand of your post is "is Tanking fun to do?/worth playing?" In which case I say yes, yes it is. The issue with the Tanking class though is that you'll be expected to know the dungeons and boss fights to the degree of not wiping all the other players, also you'll pick up quite a bit of aggression from others players if you make a mistake, too slow, too fast, not wearing good enough gear. Flip side it's quite a rewarding job and not many want to do it due to pressures involved but when you learn the class, dungeons and fights it's great fun and you'll have FC members begging you to join them for those ever so lovely queue times. As for DD, it's an okay dungeon to tank but I personally find it boring (along with AV), not because I ran it so many times with quite simply bad players or endlessly for my relic more because monsters take so long to die (zzzz) and you almost have all of your good skills but don't so after playing lvl50 for over a year it's painful.

I recommend tanking and if you get any grief of players just ignore them but don't mistake help or tips for grief as there some very helpful players out there.

Not sure what you're trying to ask by "any good" but I can tell you that wandering ahriman at the start of DD is not meant to be fought or tanked. You actually fight him later as the dungeon's first boss.

Course, since this is over an hour later, you probably figured this out on your own already.

Must've been tired when I made this thread, but thanks for the responses.
I was just wondering if the dungeon is like stone vigil, which I've been in already.
