Well, Mindspank, Robo is kinda like that. It was pretty much the same story in Apoline. However, I almost always joined with a friend/guild-mate, so I had some support when I was healing. You know, if your party has one good fighter (not necessarily a tank, DDs can tank too, they just need to know how), and one good cleric (preferably two as a revive backup), you will definitely survive, if not necessarily kill robo. I'm afraid to say, whenever I have seen Robo killed in a KQ, it was at the expense of every other party, i.e, if one party focussed on Robo, every other one died because of aggro from all the spawning monsters. I also happen to have gotten my Robo kill at level 45 in precisely such a KQ.

While I never got a character high levelled enough to do Robo in Bijou, the last time I did Mara there, was a pretty good experience. If you quit Bijou, you'll find Apoline atleast, to be nearly the same, if a bit better. I have no idea about Epith, but Teva seems a pretty okay server. A little better than Apoline, but only a little.

Epith can be hit-or-miss. It almost entirely depends on whether or not people tank. If tanks are missing, you'll be in some trouble.

I was a tank for Robo. I was tired of going after Robo because everybody wants to kill him. People spread lies like "you need to kill Robo in order to win". I just got so sick of people trying to kill Robo and end up killing everybody else so I was just like "haha screw you guys, I'm throwing on a speed scroll and running".

And I have had one or two awesome Robos where we killed Robo and all his spawns, in addition to the initial mad wave at the end, and we had time to dance around the glowing crystal thing.

Same thing goes with GS. He's even easier to contain than Robo (if we decide not to kill him, I shroom tank him), but everybody wants to kill GS so mini spiders spawn and are everywhere. And a group full of clerics and fighters with unenhanced 1hs probably won't kill him before the spiders kill everybody. Bleh. People don't think.

I don't KQ too much anymore, but from what I remember the lack of fighter tankers in Teva isn't too big of a problem. With a few good clerics to back up and scrolls applied to everyone, it seems like anyone can tank. A lot of the kqs I participated in had clanks/manks/tarchers, and it worked really well. I'm not overly fickle about who tanks; if someone attracts aggro, is able to keep it, and can survive, that works for me.

I don't blame fighters for not being able to tank as long as they have the will to tank. I hate it when fighters decide they can't take on whatever we're fighting and sulk in a corner. Be useful! If you can't tank, be a DD or something. At least contribute. Stun is a godsend, use it! Even if you're upset, pretend you're taking the damage and just slash away :>

I would agree, but in MD and KKP, fighters who run up and get killed by AoE and keep needing revs just become burdens for the cleric. There are typically enough ranged DDers to take the boss down. I would rather have DD fighters sit in the back than go in, die, and divert the attention of clerics, especially if clerics are few. DD fighters don't even have to kill mobs in MD, since a good fighter tank can usually tank the mobs and MD all at once. Same with KKP. Though they should protect clerics, mages, and archers from any straying mobs.

And I don't really care who tanks as long as said tank can keep aggro and not die. If you can do that as a cleric, mage, or archer, then by all means, go for it. I end up clanking a lot... something that I don't mind, but I do skate awfully close to dying at times.

That's exactly what I have to do in KKP I have to sit back with the clerics and DDs while the ones who can handle the hits are up with KKP. Due to my pure STR build I won't be able to be more useful until Lv 75 when I can equip T4 scrolls then most likely even be able to tank KKP myself.

I know it feels wrong because I hate doing nothing in a KQ but I help do mob control instead and sacrifice myself to Mara and Marlone and take them out of the way back to where the Noxes are out of everyones way while the others deal with KKP.
