OB is a proph cap, perdition rock. Or you could scrap the whole tank idea and bring a caster.

lol pople are funny anyone thinks you need a ob there newbs plan and simple. did duncun the other night on hm found a group spamming for 1 monk . got into the group frist thing they ask is ping so i did. then the tanks like you need bath spirit i cant tank without it.

soo. i was like ummmm , ping your bar tank, guy pings bar ob tank i laugh , so im like frist you dont need bath if youa half way good tank bath is not needed for duncun or anything in gwen dungen wise. second you dont need ob, long as you have 2 good monks thta know half what to do your good.

noether less to say i was then kicked calleda newb and then he spammed i was a newb dont take me!!

so i started my own group took bear form tank 2 lod/orit monks with seeds, a 1 rit/ranger 1 ranger/rit, 1 mesmer, 1 necro(no sos ), anda ele.. did it hard mode in 30 min and ducun was beat in 30 seconds. two days ago i did it with same build but used another monk to do pain v and smits to kill duncun.

btw necro was some werid build and no part in killing duncun.. lol

long story ending you dont need necros and you dont need ob

You can cap Obsidian Flesh in every campaign.

You do not need an obby tank for any of them, I have hench heroed all 4 campaign's including all dungeons with my ranger with no warrior in the party. I normally run splinter barrage or ursan blessing with a mm hero (ill swap for a spoil victor hero or a monk hero sometimes), ss hero, and bha hero, two monk henchmen and the two elementalist henchmen. Carefull pulling and an essence of celerity for tougher areas and it works like a charm.

all the Ppl saying LF Ob Tank, Prot Monk bahh people need to realize that Slayers is heros and Henchable. today me and my Leader/Friend did Sev dungeon in 30mins with 2 Ursen Wars and we died like on 1-3 times at max. It was most easy thing I ever seen and it very fast. Sry didnt get a Pic of it.

my questions are, do you need to be an obsidian tank for EVERY dungeon/boss in the slavers exile? and if you need to be w/e to be an obs tank why do they even ask me a w/mo, if i can go obs tank?

yea, i know some people would say h/h it. but i figure maybe i can configure one build, i.e. mine, and try to get a pug, before i try to configure a team build. plus i would kinda like to get past the first room and see what im really facing. would be nice.

In spite of everything that has already been said which i wont comment on ill just say this. Please try not to constrict yourself to one secondary. There are MANY useful skills out there from almost every class that you can use to compliment a warrior or any other class. Experiment and learn.

Its the same thing with the slavers dungeons, not one build or team build is what anyone 'needs'. Many different things will work.

Ever heard of Symbiosis, intergral part of each group which has obsi tank? That gives it plentifullhp to tank touchers, better hp than ursa can ever hope for.

Anyway, slavers can be done just fine with H/H, so there is no fuss. Learn to plaz beter and you shouldnt need such group.

It's not like you even need a warrior to get to duncan on nm, that being said i've seen better ursan tanks then obsidian tanks. (Might have had something to do with the fact that obsidian flesh doesn't strip energy for failed spells, so if a obs looses agro the entire enemie team can unload all their spells)

So what? 1000000000 life is useless if the enemies then decide that you're boring and they'll go hunt your silly nukers. Ursan lets you kill things

I had this same problem a week ago. I was looking into a pug for Forgewright and they told me to go Obsidian. I hadn't tried being an OB tank before and I certainly wouldn't want to do it again, at least not on a warrior. It was so boring. I would be invincible while OB was up but when it went down I either died or the mobs ran off to hunt the party members

We already have a discussion thread here... http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10204919

Why start another one? Closing.
