Dreadwinder is 40 seconds, but TN is 45 seconds, unfortunately, so that's not a usable strategy. It's best to practice without taking shortcuts so that you can use TN when you actually need it.

I personally think it's great that VPR is the new benchmark to which all jobs that play in melee range want to be compared to. It's just too bad that there aren't any tanks that currently break the 50 APM mark.
