[@Be.Blessed]

Genuine question, how many times do you cough when doing Nerds voice 🤣 Good vid fam.

[@ariesrose5846]

for fire tanks remove burning determination and add fires bread and butter skill backdraft. Its a aoe pull, juggles adds and burst heal for 200k+

[@lordkarnage8189]

Facts tanks get blamed for everything 😂

[@reckless_andrew]

The community needs this tbh tanks and heals don’t know nothing at this point

[@iZargon7]

Thank you for saying all of this. Because it's what's needed.

[@iZargon7]

I'm definitely gonna add to this.

[@DeadseaSG]

@iZargon7 I had way more to explain, but it would have made the video too long. I'll eventually cover everything I missed on a different video. I'll probably show elite raid tanking by then.

[@iZargon7]

@@DeadseaSG : Okay I'll let you take the wheel then.

[@DeadseaSG]

@iZargon7 do you bro if you have a channel, make a video add to what i said. It's up to us to show this community how it's done, especially beginners.

[@Unseen-ec2rp]

your a G, I was standing in front of the bosses.

[@notanotherswordreviewchann4901]

Flight isn't the slowest movement. Skimming is. Acro is fastest. Acro 2:30, SS 3:00, flight 3:30, skimming 4 min to cross the map in metropolis.

[@DeadseaSG]

@notanotherswordreviewchann4901 yea sure however skimming and flight is basically the same movement 🙄

[@notanotherswordreviewchann4901]

As atomic I always pop density as it is the weakest of the shields. But it holds so if they can penetrate that pop hardlight shield and you good.

[@rfreem]

Great video, thanks. My tank has flight as the travel power. I use the speed force ring from the anniversary event between bosses to get to the trash faster, then take it off and kite the bosses in the air. I hadn't thought of switching to the flash/zoom allies instead of the ring, but that'd be an option, too. For Luthor, I've been using Exobyte Overdrive. But you like the other passive better?

[@JuliusRachad]

I’m more of a casual player. What should I put my stat points in? I use Everyman, mystic, and manacles. I have 168 skill points. I use Rage but I kinda want to switch to atomic.

[@MFDeeksGaming]

I love earth and I’ve been a tank for ages but have historically struggled in elite content with earth. What are you tips for not having my shields melted in seconds for hode for example? I have 360 sp and I use manacles, Everyman, and mystic but I don’t have them maxed so I’m not getting full use of them. I have EOG maxed so I can use that if necessary and I’m currently ranking up Lazarus pit water. My movement and kiting is good, but I just feel like I get overwhelmed on last boss with the 4 bosses. Managed to get a healer that carried me but I feel like I shouldn’t be needing to be carried with what I have at my disposal. Any help is appreciated!

[@DeadseaSG]

@MFDeeksGaming Lazarus Pit artifact replace everyman. I'm also testing with earth tanking I noticed blocking is key with earth.

[@MFDeeksGaming]

@@DeadseaSG what allies do you recommend for earth tank? And do you think aftershock is even worth running on bosses or just for the adds on the way to the boss?

[@DeadseaSG]

@@MFDeeksGaming static for the combat and shield. Superman for immunity shield and lex luthor for the immunity to last longer

[@MFDeeksGaming]

@@DeadseaSG bet, lmk if you figure out any more tips for earth while you’re workin on it. Thanks for the help G! Gonna subscribe

[@novadeathstar5845]

I’m no tank but when I’m heard of kiting it thought it was the lasso

[@jacobarango1316]

Say if I am running mystic, manacles and Everyman. What tank should I run. ( currently ice atm 460 SP )

[@DeadseaSG]

@jacobarango1316 fire would get more out of everyman however ice is op with everyman as well. I say stay ice unless you bored of it.

[@daveontaeg18]

You try first descendent oh my it’s good 2024 dcuo just no swag frfr

[@DeadseaSG]

@daveontaeg18 I haven't last I checked players where saying it's too much of a grind. I'll check it out, tho. I've been playing elden ring atm.

[@kieranb7747]

would be cool to see u tank elite as well.

[@DeadseaSG]

I only tank Elite Raid for a new dlc 9 times with a booster for full renown day 1 of dlc release. Then I never go back in there time is $.

[@Rei_Tatekei]

I agree with ice being the strongest tank the only weakness is lack of healing abilities but that can be mitigated with Clarion or a supercharge with EOG. The pull is also not great but it has the best CC in Resonating Gale to make up for it.

[@Jmk3591]

I always thought ice pull was the best outside of atomic for ads. Rage they bounce around to much, fire similar, and earth but ice whenever I’m on my scrub toon ices pull seems to bring ads to me and not toss them past me like rage and fire does.

[@leatherDarkhorse]

They need to lower tank artifact effect requirement from 200 > 120, the requirement to be tank way too high. cause now the game lack of tank way too much lols.

[@Erased-_]

So fk everyone who paid the money to max arts right ?

[@co.n.g.studios5710]

1 dude ragequit bc i wasn't standing nose2nose AT the boss XD

[@co.n.g.studios5710]

AAAAAND: I got kicked out of a group bc tank was always 4th/5th in line and I called him slow XD

[@DeadseaSG]

@co.n.g.studios5710 Some players have backwards logic. If enough of them are in a group together, they kick players who are better or doing more damage ect.

[@co.n.g.studios5710]

@@DeadseaSG some players just don't know what to look for in a good dps, heal, troll OR tank ;)

[@notanotherswordreviewchann4901]

Love how everyone trashes atomic tanks saying their shields are weakor that they're squishy....not enough sp in dom and crap loadouts smh...atomic is op af

[@DeadseaSG]

I agree atomic is very strong. It's one of the power sets that can face tank easily even in elite. I'll eventually go into more details on atomic however I just wanted to make a tank video showing the basics 1st.

[@leatherDarkhorse]

@@DeadseaSG whats your ranking for tank power?

[@DeadseaSG]

@leatherDarkhorse atm weakest to strongest. Earth - Fire - Atomic - Rage - Ice. However, this can change over time the more I spend time trying out and testing new things.

[@DCUOxDestro]

@@DeadseaSGearth the weakest? I tried all powers on the new bounty and the only one that survived the skull attack was earth.

[@Dcuo_Ovarated]

@@DCUOxDestroearth op

[@-Rezo-3]

1st

[@jajajja2031]

Dreadful instead of chain

[@DeadseaSG]

@jajajja2031 No thank you dreadful is vulnerable to interrupt. E chain is a pull nuff said...
