    if u have a cleric and u have decent equips, krix and dismal should not be a problem.
    dismal is just having the cleric purify u 24/7, and well krix...hes just..weak>.>

    suzy, stronger than krix, but if u have decent equip with cleric magic resist buff u should take maybe 500-600dmg/hit which is tankable with a cleric

    I believe at 60 you can tank the fb39 bosses as well.

    Suzerix is easy. I tanked him at 48 with a level 44 cleric healing me, and we had no problems at all.

    yep yep w/ a cleric you can definitely tank the fb39 bosses...in fact i asked to do that so i can just go nuts w/out having to worry about aggro.

    a 7x archer i knew needed 2 clerics for the fb51 bosses (never tried myself lol)

    At L75 I have no trouble tanking up to FB59 with a single cleric. As a HA build my Mag Def is less than usual which makes Mag Attack bosses a bit tougher, but allows me to tank Phys bosses as well. I can tank Chientien in TT60 squad mode and just this past Monday tanked Kong with a single cleric (though just barely).

    My advise it to just try it, what is the worst that can happen, you lose a bit of xp? You may surprise yourself with just what is possible.

    well the question is, how do you keep aggro tanking melee bosses with other DD's around?
    Elena Costel: I wash my hands of this affair.
    Legerity: *drags you back* *stains your hands with said affair*
    Elena Costel: Noooo... I don't want to have a dirty affair with Lady Legerity...
    Qui: b:dirty

    High Str allows me to melee with good enough DPS with a sword to hold aggro reasonably well. I'm sure another DD of my level would steal aggro, that that usually isn't the situation. Oft times these are boss runs for lower level folks so I have no trouble holding aggro. Biggest issue I have had with stolen aggro was against Chientien with veno pets, but I got around this by having them only attack for short bursts.

    for some bosses u can try and get around tanking melee by flying in the air. i am not sure if it works the entire time, but i did it for a short while on 1 of the fortress of talon culti boss. u still only do 50% but its easier for archers to tank magic dmg than melee usually espeically when u are cleric buffed.

    suzerix, dismal shade, chin, FB19/29/39, omnipotent drake (cult49), kashu (cult49), Slitt

    At 70 you'll also be able to tank Mantavip and probably Quillhog King.. will add more if i think of them ^^



    to the Cult49 airtank comment... All of those bosses will attack at range when engaged in range... they will not ever run to you. Fugma attacks physical at range (and is very difficult for archers to tank), Drake and Kashu attack magical at range and are quite easy for archers to tank. There is no reason to tank these bosses from the air.
    Meek with words, abrupt with arrows.

    The bosses of FB59 all attack at range and are quite tankable at 70+ (even with my subpar elem def, lol).

    I've taken out 2 of those 4. Had Jewel to under 10% HP left but that was 4 levels ago, I'm pretty sure I can manage it next time I try. Krimson though, he flattened me both times I tried, it'll be a while before I can tank him.

    slither is a joke for archers>.> all it does is spam aoe sleep and bleed on u. if u keep using wings of grace an archer can easily hold aggro since u only get slept 50% of the time compare to other helpers. also with an archer tanking slither, the cleric can heal from outside aoe sleep range so no wrys abotu cleric being asleep. just be sure to tell the cleric to keep purifying the bleed, it can stack up and be slightly annoying.

    At 80+ you can tank all bosses except for FB69+, TT 1-3+ and Krimson
    Yes Jewel can be done but it takes 2 clerics.
    Also some can be tanked in FB89 and in TT 3-1

    i am pretty sure fb51's myratail drake ownzored me at 1 point b:surrender
    with amp dmg i took a 2k+ hit, and unless i have a barb's hp buff, its taking more than 50% of my hp in 1 hit, something i do not want to attempt doing. it is probably doable, i never actually tried but its something that u should not risk unless u want to experiment or just well.. dont mind dying XD

    (the 2k was from when the herc veno lagged and herc died....i got aggro after that...)
