Better re-write the gaming dictionary the word Tank just took on a whole new meaning.

I just in the competition arenas testing out my character I hadn't used in a while. And to my suprise I became a full on Tank.

After 15 minutes I was the last man standing on my team and without a ressurect spell/signet. I was a sitting duck against 4 of them. Time for operation Tank. I managed to keep myself alive for 4 minutes by circling the outside of the arena. To my suprise two of their team left the arena leaving it 2 v 1. I managed to tank in and kill their ranger, leaving it one on one with me and their W/Mo he then Ressed the Ranger leaving it 2 v 1 again. I fought valiantly but to no avail my blows weren't having any effect. I managed to keep myself alive for a while but after 30 minutes I started to get bored and realised that these guys weren't going to budge. I decided to call it a day as I couldn't beat them and they couldn't beat me, it was a stalemate. So I let myself die (Truth is I died while trying to get my camera to video but it's more honourable this way )

Here's the link which shows the endurance capabilities of a W/Mo.

Unfortunately no, I never thought about it until the timer had reached 28 minutes. Besides I don't have Frepps or any videoing programs. In the time it took me to run downstairs and get my digital camera, my guy was dead

I'd rewrite the definition but enchantment removals mock you.

But I know what you mean, W/Mo's can be bitches to take down, hence why I always carry an Enchant Removal (Either Drain, Shatter or Strip).
