Been there, done that, with heroes. And before you mention another area, I've also done DoA Urgoz an Deep without a thank, kthx.

In normal situations sure, no need for a tank....i dont tank all the time either. But in situations where mobs are just way too overpowered to allow the melee to hit the casters, such as slaver's exile for instance, a tank is 99.9% necessary, even with smart teams. Not everyone has advanced title tracks for lux/kurz, and the high adren cost for SY! doesn't allow for any prevention of the initial spike from PvE enemies.
Wrong again. These 'smart' teams don't need shitty tanks. A team with a tank =/= smart team. PS a warrior, warrior runs in first for aggro, and then the warrior starts pounding the shit out of the enemies with his damage dealing bar (which is what a warriors for). That's what a smart team does, because they know how useless tanks are.

If you've never seen a HH tank at work, you really dont know what you're talking about. In areas with massive enchantment strip...fine go with an obsi flesh tank. But areas without lots of enchant strip...HH is the way to go. Hell, I tanked hard mode lair of the snowmen with a HH build....and that's armor-ignoring spike damage central. then again, I needed a prot bonder to do it...but hey.
You tanked HM LotS with a HH tank and you needed a bonder. I held aggro with just PS on me. Are you wearing ascalon armor? Because if you need a hh tank and a bonder, you're doing something wrong,

Best defense is a good offense huh? Ok, I'll just put my warrior away and never use it because there's no need right? Besides, warriors have less dps than most caster classes.
I would really like to see a caster build that has more dps then a dslash warrior.

Personally I prefer HH tanking, sometimes i'm forced to change to the gay obsi flesh build which I never liked it makes you move slow and enemies will simply target someone else, I'm the tank I want to take the damage not them

How to Tank Slavers:
1. Find a warrior.
2. Put Protective Spirit on him.
3. Kill all the enemies.

I cleared Slavers' H/H with DSlash, all you need is aggro control, not tanking.

Laughing means you understand what a joke most of these pro-HH posters are.

I killed Thommis yesterday with just a regular triple chop axe build. With good healers behind you it's cake. Ofc I often tanked with my warrior (It's too damn easy with all the blockable doors/corners) but you DON'T NEED A TANK BUILD to do the job. a normal warrior does just fine. Tanks are baed, don't bother with them.

Balthazar, I pray you reconsider. Take out your rage on iguanas or something. SAVE THE PUPPIES!

their is only 1 reasons not to use healing hands as a tank elite

1.)Bad Recharge


personally my friend wouldnt let you join his FoW group unless you had his specific build the tank was a healing hands tank.. it worked well and could hold aggro better than the slow Obsidian tank.

Only really bad FoW teams need a tank.

Your friend should uninstall Guild Wars, imo.
