@ Lam - from memory, you did a very good job in keeping the groups of mobs together, and devestating as much as you can.

I've seen much worse DD fighters LOL.

Uh, maybe I should play as a fighter....Sounds like a lot of fun!

I like DD fighters a lot, since they do massive damage if played right.
But yeah, I think it goes for all classes when it comes to knowing your character's limits.
For me, it doesn't matter, because I have a heal slave backing me up 8D

I agree.

This shouldn't just apply to DD fighters. Every person should be well aware of their or their parties limit..

But the only problem I have with this thread is END fighters do have some limitations over DD Fighters because if the DD Fighter is using an extender and is scrolled they can easily pull the same amount of enemies as an END Built fighter can.

That is why people tend to have STR fighters over END fighters. The extra damage is nice which an END Build fighter can't provide. STR fighters only need to wack on 1-2 +9 pieces of Armour and an Extender and or scrolls and voila they can tank just as well as an END Built fighter.

yeah. I always see a bunch of DD fighters in mara who demands to tank
they dont use mock + kick and so they always lose aggro to archers
so thus I have to kick + mock back mara/marlone and I end up tanking...
my messed up build of 10str 10dex and 2end being the tank....

I only tank when I absolutely must. ;)

Exactly.

But Andro... there are these DD fighters who have regular armour and still attempt to tank which obviously doesn't work out very well. x__o Worse yet, some don't even scroll up.

I know there are people who are very good tank and are build to be a DD. Again, it's all down to the person behind them and if they're willing to scroll up and be ready to take on 10+ KQ mobs... not just the build alone. But hell, being able to completely block a mob's attack is better than taking chunks of damage any day. :3 Cheaper to be an end tank too... don't have to necessarily go out and get +9'd armour and charms.

The problem there is they dont know how to play their fighter and keep aggro as a tank...

The problem I see with DD fighters of my level (in KKP and MD), are the fighters that gets 1HKO... so they sit out and do nothing....

Sure, you might have 9000 dmg, but 9000 with no hits = 0... Again, I'm sure they're great soloers, but to me in a KQ, their contribution is next to 0. 9000 x 0 = 0.

if they have good gear, and scrolls / extenders, good on them.. I love them in my parties.. this thread would not be dedicated to Pros.

If a DD fighter wants to have anything to do with a party, they need to have something that actually costs quite a bit of money:

+9 armors. My fighter is fully +9-d, and has more defense then many tanks at said level (level 61, 1438 def fully buffed no charm, +0 lv 50 shield).

Does this mean she ceases to be a DD? Hell no. Tack on the axe and you got great damage on top of very high defense.

It costs ALOT of money (Cost me about 15g to get her entire 5x set, probably 20g or so to get some 6x items), but after all is said and done I find it very fun to be able to switch from being the highest damage dealing build in the game (Pure str), to being an extremely decent tank (She has 5cd on mock, so she can tank).

For those that are unable to support +9 armors, your abilities as both a tank AND a damage dealer will suffer.

A tank should have at least two +9 items (Shield, and top/pants), so at the very least they have more defense then their DD-wearing-sheild brethren.

This applies to 60+, but especialy to 70-77, the period where fighters truly shine as a tanking class in TR.

Basically my point is that if you see an axe fighter, don't automatically think "omg, fail tank", because there are some people out there who are able to economically support twinked characters....we're not very common, but once you find us, cling onto us like leeches - because we will travel far and accomplish many things. EDIT: And make people say we're overpowered (We are, in the right hands)
