GW really the Best Tank?

hopaqo · May 2010

I'm not sure how accurate PW Database is regarding Pet Stats but when I compared different Pet Stats didn't seem GW necessarily is the best Tank. Unless once tamed stats change. Ebony Hellduke for example is similar to GW in every regards but also has higher accuracy. Skatefish also has similar stats but better M.Def not to mention can fly.

The most surprising was V.Magmite with Life of 7194. Hence I would think V.Magmite be the best Tank. Though GW is still the coolest b:laugh

GW = Glacial Walker; CM = Crystaline Magmite; VM = Volcanic Magmite; EB = Ebony Hellduke; Sk = Cloud Skatefish

P.D = Physical Defence
M.D = Magic Defence
P.A = Physical Attack
M.A = Magic Attack
SP = Speed, W = Walk, R = Run
Acc = Accuracy

___ LIFE P.A MA P.D SP(W/R) Acc

GW: 2,299 106-129 106-129 286 2/6 1093

CM: 1887 85-103 119-145 353 0.80/3 998

VM: 7194 133-264 314-384 561 0.80/4.88 1045

All the stats change once the mob is tamed.

Here are the stats of some common pets at level 90.

Thx thought so, but the problem can't find any stats on tideborn pets yet. Be very useful.

GW is the best free tank, in a lot of situations.
but by example farren in fb39 can be tanked with an eldergoth marksman while you stay out of the aoe range. It also seems that eldergoth marksman can tank a wb at a certain lvl. (don't ask me which one or at what lvl o.o)

GW is a good tank. but other pets are better for tanking certain bosses or mobs

My eldergoth marksman must be broken because ever since I got him he has not attacked from range. He always runs in and starts hitting melee and takes serious damage.

I don't know what I am doing wrong with him but he does not range attack at all.

And before you ask YES it IS a marksman. I thought I must have tamed the wrong one at first too.

But to answer the question,

I think the best tank is relative to the veno and the planned uses. Many venos have loved their GWs most others love their magmites.

I have never had a magmite but I do have a GW and a Herc. The GW seems to do more damage but the herc takes more hits.

You have to turn off bash before you send him in. In order to do so right click on the skill that is highlighted, should be the first skill, on a marksman it is bash. After that send him in like you normally would and he should attack from range.

If you plan on using Marksman at endgame might as well just take off all its skills cuz they can't b used at range, better to get buff's on him. My plan for my marksman is Protect-->Claw-->Bless. no need for strong since it shouldn't take any physical damage. side note lvl 55 marks man can tank lvl 70 Empian Slyther. keeping you out of aoe. takes awhile cuz you can't attack w/o getting in aoe that sleeps you.

Any tank will work, but always know you SHOULD(don't have to) replace with or get a herc as well.
