    I think anyone with more than 14k HP or so should be fine. So really OP refined anything should be able to tank it, barb or psy.

    ofcourse, it's easier for barbs b:chuckle

    uh I think 14k Hp won't help if you have barely 5k Defence

    My wizzy has 5k with only self buf. And I'm FAR from the OP refines I talked about
    Besides, his 1shot big hit thing is system dmg, based on your max HP. NOT on your defences

    I have heard of a Mystic doing it. I believe they let the summon take the suicide hit.

    If you can't take the 1shot hit, you can't tank him

    I think you should re-read what I said.
    The Summon takes the suicide hit, then the Mystic tanked it.
    It's still the same toon tanking.

    I've seen r9+12 psys and wizzies tank it. Prob possible on a veno or mystic too if they can hold agro. Heck any R9+12 can tank pretty much anything xD

    I've been able to. Everything is fine after the suicide hit if you just AD + IG. Of course, need another Cleric BB'ing. >_>

    any OP AA class can tank instances boss, besides The Incarcerate, and Primal Fear, which for sure would require a super OP AA toon, in RT we have a mystic named GaiaSeeker, r9r2 mystic with 14k phys def self buffed, and can reach 23k fully buffed, that's enough to make a ws or lunar pull.

    summerizing, an r9r2 toon can tank most bosses..

    He does that 1shot more than once genius.
    And if a veno solos TT with a herc, is it the herc or the veno tanking?

    R9 veno tanked in one of my runs. Also seen a R9 mystic tank. But like everybody else has pointed out, most well-refined R9s can probably do it, caster or otherwise.

    If there was a way to know exactly when the one-shot/bleed would hit, I suppose a lot of chars could tank it with a well-timed apoth use or triple spark.

    I've watched/had to put up with Demon R9 +12 DoT Wizzies tank everything from Trials bosses to BH Bosses...just fine.

    Best aggro generators in the game, hands down.

    LOL. He doesn't do the one shot more then once. Anything after the initial one shot is a heavy dot bleed. Just cause you can't take the bleed... doesn't mean others can't.
    1. If I kill you; do something about it yourself, don't go complaining to my wife.
    2. If you have less kill counts then me, don't expect me to take pk advice from you.
    3. If you are hiding behind an alt, don't expect me to acknowledge your existence.

    The boss isnt all that hard. You can AD the initial hit and after that the only other high damage attack is a bleed he does every 30 seconds. He gives you a spark and a half or so along with the bleed so you can just triple spark to purify it.

    Maybe AA class can't tank the incarcerate, but Primal Fear is easy
    have done it plenty of times myself. Seems to only use magical attacks if you just stand on the pillar next to it, purges from time to time, but if you have a decent amount of hp then you're fine. Vile version uses a fire based DOT aoe, but all you have to do is sage/demon spark to get rid of it...really, no BB needed for this boss.

    Buffed aa could easily have more hp and def then me... with a charm warsong final boss is possible.

    The Great Golgotha would always tank, his technique was spamming IH on himself then pulling the mobs, he had armor of the barbarian shaman though so he could handle it.

    Does it count if I am a "AA" class but wear HA? Fully buffed I hit 25k pdef and 20k HP and that is only with a mix of +10/11 refines.

    I have lost count at the number of times I had to sit there and take hits from incarcerate and wait for the rest of squad to get back, similiar with other bosses including harpy. There are not too many bosses left that I can not solo, they just take too long to make it viable. There are plenty of people in end game AA that have similiar defences to me (not quite the HP) that are more than capable in tanking these bosses...

    I tanked incacerate for 2 minutes after rest of squad wiped. Was just me and ep. The rest rebuffed and came back in and finished it off.

    I have no r9 but I do have full 3rd cast NV with no shards in it.

    I beg to differ on Primal Fear. Wizzy's with 7k HP and a brain can solo it if you can't you're doing it wrong b:pleased
