DoAsc videos

i dont think this thread was meant to argue the merits of single vs duo tank... This...
I also find that this thread is a tad bit useless as almost everyone guild has different tactics at how they doa.

Great vids, I love the Vor Pov. Quite some damage. Thanks


@Others: Like stated before we use Spellbreaker on the Mo/R seeder, so if something nasty happens like the tank dying in Foundry 5th room, we still have some sort of backup, the me/a for example can pull stuff away while someone else go ress him. But at the same time, the failrate with a good solo tank guild is so incredibly low, that this is out of the qeustion.

Offcourse you can't split as much in solo tank, but if you go with great speed through everything, there is no need to split. City isn't any slower as with duo tank, the speed on the wall makes up with split inside city. We average 5-6 mins here. Foundry bigball is only dangerous if people stop thinking and hit the wrong targets. Gloom is faster imo with solo tank, and definatly safer since you don't glitch cave. We average 6 mins on gloom.

So yes, solo tank is unforgiving for a learning guild and I totally don't recommend it for a new guild to start with solo tank. But if you got a good solo tank guild, it isn't any slower then duo tank.

@Ballistic: This thread was made for videos about DoA, not to start a whole solo tank arguement. If you have vids about how your guild does DoA feel free to post.

Spiking bigroom foundry is incredibly fun though, and it doesnt rly take that much time if your tank is good. Even funnier with 100b spiker and MoP. DAT LAG !

To skip spiking the foundry big ball in single tank, could you...

1) Tank recalls Me/A
2) Get snakes as usual
3) Some mesmer tanks black beast
4) Team goes into cave, me/a recalls emo
5) Me/A takes reward and gets near fury group (not aggro) while main tank has center groups away
6) Tank recalls to me/a, who then recalls to emo
7) Tank pulls fury into cave for ball
8) Tank recalls emo and pulls groups away for chest

Yes/no? Tank'll lose bonds while team goes into cave but that doesn't matter.

(Sorry for threadjack, had to ask) This looks a lot like our 5-man tactics. A/N tanks big room , Me/A takes all the snakes (fyi, Spellbreaker is far from needed to do this. First snake is dementia's, so who cares, second ball, take snake, run straight into the titan mob, immediatly recall out, they'll break, third snake, again, recall out asap and start running, they'll break as well) Emo tanks black beast, black beast and his palls die, tank recalls out, takes reward, wait for fury group to be clean, pull em inside cave, spike, done..

btw, just fyi for this thread, a lot of video's are posted in the "Speedclear resources" thread..

For 5th room we only use SB on the Me/A at 3th snakes, first one is piece of cake and second one we just spike down. No time loss or gain with either tactic since we are waiting for bigball anyway. We could do black beast in the meantime, but as stated before it doesn't really improve the speed of the run.

On topic: Planning to make some Full run videos with narration after my exams, since I think people find it interesting to know what the whole team does. You should need spell breaker for any of them...
