So i said to myself, why isnt there a character build that allows one to tank bosses such as this without having to rely on others to live, as well as keeping agro? That character would be super effective. Last night i was a part of multiple events of Osiredon the Scalis Enforcer and there were only pets and summons on him soaking up damage. I will explain as to why im interested in learning about a character soaking up damage and surviving without heals from others. Yes, you need a group that will fight tactically and not run around like idiots (and you'll have to trust them to loot share). In summary, yes, there is a 0 DPS Tank build. Took him a while to understand UO's design and some of it's quirks that lead players toward solo play.

The initial build idea came from a buddy of mine who was the dedicated raid tank in WoW for a number of years and couldn't figure out why you'd want to run one toon trying to do both DPS and Tank. You could run as the point in a group without x-healer support, but you get overwhelmed pretty easily.įor gear: Stack HP and HPR, all the Eater you can get (either Damage or individuals), DCI, and reflective paralyze. Very effective in a group/guild for keeping things tidy, no good at all for solo obviously. You could go Alchemy instead of Wrestling if you need additional 80% EP healing/cure pots, etc.Īll the tank does is heal, dispel evil, and control aggro. Parry for defense (and that sweet, sweet shield slot), Resist for defense, Wrestling for Paralyze mostly. The tank is the dedicated character for dealing with Revenants. The above build is Healing and Anat, for cross heals, or heals on self when needed. Of course you have to remember the old rule - a dead character does 0 DPS. This frees up the bards and the x-healer from having (most) any defense and going full DPS. The above build is always with a group and an x-healer. So, you are going to have someone else healing you. Normally you'd work in a guild with an x-healer and bards to keep the tank alive. I'm suspecting that you mean an actual 'tank' character, 0 DPS, as in other MMO's?
