Tanking Bandos

Featured Replies

My clan is going to a bandos event tommorow and i was watching a video to refresh my memory on how to do it. One of the comments said that Bandos Tanking would not work as he randomly attacks players now. Is this true?

 

Thanks,

If you use a uni/yak/bunyip it works. If you use a tort it doesn't.

If the familiar you take has an attack option and attacks Graar he'll swap to attacking you.

Fruit bat works better than bunyip but requires a little more micromanagement.Just take enough scrolls.

If you are the tank, take the tort. the extra space is invaluable, and you can make him attack the boss, getting him back on you if he's gone to a teammate.

Elemental Titans might suit your needs. The defense boost is welcome, and you get a little healing as well as a decent combat familiar.

Problem with that is the titan may attack Grarr and get him on you, so fruit bat or bunyip would be much safer to use.

I thought that was the point? To tank?

 

Well, if not, you can just send it to attack a general.

If you're tanking it doesn't matter if your familiar attacks Graar because he's supposed to be attacking you, but your teammates should consider something other than a tort if they don't want to take extra damage.

Since he's the tank, that's what he wants.

Non-tanks should use Bunyip, fruit bat, unicorn or pak yak.

Oh my mistake then, I thought he wasn't tanking and was asking which familiars an attacker could use.

Er, you could always order your familiar to attack a general.

my difinition of noob is i dont like u, either u are better then me or u are worst them me

Buying spins make you a bad person...don't do it. It's like buying nukes for North Korea.

Well if it bothers you that the game is more fun now, then you can go cry in a corner. :shame:

your article was the equivalent of a circumcized porcupine

The only thing wrong with it is the lack of a percentage for when you need to stroke it.

Well its actually pretty easy to take tort or titan all you do is just order them to attack a minion instead I do it all the time.

The only thing you need to make sure is that you're standing close the minion it's attacking, if you stand too far away, your familiar will tele back to you, and could attack Graar instead. But as long as you pay attention, it's a perfectly viable option.
