I did some mobs/boss quests with my wife (who is a lvl60+ sin), and of course I tried to tank the bosses (I'm a lvl90+ cleric), but I died quite easily, cos they were doing 655/655/655/655 damage constantly on me...
drained my hp and mp mega fast...

however when my wife tanked, the mobs only did 1 damage on her...

can someone tell me why? is it due to level difference? or something else?

thanks.

PS: i did some search on older threads, someone says it's cos the mobs do 1dmg at melee... but what if the couple is archer/archer... wouldn't they... die? lol

    Ah yeah....Melee the mobs do 1hp melee dmg. But they have a lightning type skill that decreases HP by a good amount. So my guess is if you tried to do it at range then you were continously hit with the lightning skill which made you drop faster.

    As for archers? They can just put on a low lvl fist/claw and attack the mob.

    When attacked from range the MQ mobs do an attack that scales with your level and damages your MP and HP. Also, seem to attack faster at range than mele to.

    tbh seems rather silly that they go from among the wimpiest mobs in game to epic ownage mobs just because you use a ranged attack on them.

    Also, even if you're in mele range and use a ranged spell they seem to kit you a bit and start blasting you with the magic.

    D: that's so dumb....

    i'm 30 lvls higher than my wife, and my wife needs to tank cos i have no melee skills... T___T

    i feel so silly when we do those boss MQs...

    thanks all for the answers... i guess there's no way out of this... =__= *hides behind wife*

    You dont have to melee them I think.
    Just stand in melee range, so they hit you instead of casting.

    Edit: Just tested what I learned from watching before.
    If you go close up to them, you can cast magic attacks, they will hit you for 1 dmg, and occasionally (like every 5 hits) they will hit you with lightning.

    So yeah.. just dont stand far away, go close up :p
