Speak Up

It has become obvious that barely anyone in WG can tank. And by tank, I mean last longer than 5 seconds. We lost about 10 people in a minute, it's disgraceful. I watched people get koed one after another, not even praying.

So, here's the point of this thread.
If you get koed reguarly, or just feel that your tankign isn't great, post here.

I, and i'm sure many other people, will be happy to help you.
A lot of have never been in a clan before. It's understandable.

By not speakign up, you're hurting the clan.
Please, just post here, and you'll improve, and the clan will improve.

we have a lot of tanking practises, but we need a manditory one or two. Like everyone needs to sign up, ect.

I'm not sure how long I lasted, but I do know that I didn't get KOed. I died with no food. =\ So, I'm not sure if I suck at tanking or not, you tell me, lol.

But I'd be glad to learn how to get better for the good of the clan.

i didn't last that long and don't think i'm good at tanking, still ate all my food but lost most of it when they were sniping

The worst part is, the only people that attend practices are people that can actually tank already. They're only there to make others experiences and simulate a real fight better.

I can tank, but i got ko'd in that war, because my dad made me go carry in grocerys, Before I left i piled one of the people in their pile like lordy said. Like i said this war couldnt have came in a beter time for me, right when my dad gets of work, so he starts to bark orders and i have to stop playing and do what he asks. Otherwise i wont be allowed to play any that day. Not to mention my moms dad died yesterday so I cannot play all day with out interuptions. I can tank.

I can tank, but i got piled so fast i didn't have time to switch on prayer.

I like to think of myself as a reasonable tank, but I got koed by 30 people today. I was pissed off. Got prayer on, quickly ate like 3 swords and still died. Oh well.

I know i can't tank, haha. only got 76 defence.

I suck at tanking, but I could probably actually be decent if I had higher def and magic so I didn't get binded as much. I just need some skills training.

I got koed, I'm ok normally nothing special.

well i'll admit that i can't tank that well against large numbers

Can you help me sort out my lag?
I mean I wasn't there today, but normally I'm fine , not lagging much, then when 50 people get on me RS completely freeze, put prayer on (sometimes) if I have time, eat maybe once/twice in a manic attempt to stay alive and DC...

I know that I can't tank. But i always try my best. I also going to clan wars to practice once in a while. But i'd love more practice too. Thank you to the ones always making bind and tank practices.

Just want to say, I'm normally not a good tank. But today surprisingly tanked till later half of the fight. Got piled 5 times and got away. Prayed, tanked, out of run totally, ate all my food saved 1/2 pizza before KO-ed. I do need to say thanks to Tnuac, Mike who had lend pointers to me at the earlier wars as I'm already rusty and overall not a good tank. But those extra pointers stretched me very far today.

Practise is best. But I know I certainly can't attend due to very lack of time overall. Can't say much but I know it was the simple but important pointers that works best with and remembering. Simple steps of 1-4. At least I know, they've helped a great deal. And things to remember, such as stick to and follow main pile don't stray. Usually, opponents stay away from each other's main piles. It'll last longer KO'ing off theirs. There use to be guides understanding this kind of tanking theory and explaining why. I would think those will help too.

You may honestly think I suck as a tank, but I don't.

I agree with Randy, rather post it here ,and nobody will ever laugh about it , and we will help you get better in tanking rather then walking around without a clue what to do.

I can usually tank pretty hardcore, but I have my off days and today was one of them. They piled me very fast. They are a hard clan to tank.

Some help wouldn't hurt.

I know I can tank, I escaped 3 random piles on me w/ 12+ ppl and was sniped till 10 food by the time I really got piled. When I really got piled. I got k0ed. I put pray on, ate the 10 food, but never got a chance to hug. I lagged and i clicked 15% pray def, and it didnt go on....only melle did. I got raped by teh lag.

2nd time in 3 days ive been koed.....im pist.

I'm an average tank, nothing great, so this is good for me. On good days I can tank pretty well, but when I'm off it's pretty obvious.

My main problem is knowing when to eat. Sometimes I start clicking food because I hear so many slashes and figure I'm getting dealt massive damage.

I was able to tank TMC pretty well, escaping several piles, but then in other fights I'm slow to put Prayer on.

For the sake of this topic, I'll say I'm a below average tank because I'm not a great tank as other's will attest to. So just give me some pointers and I'll use them.

Good thinking Randy.

I'll say, I'm not as good of a tank as I used to be.

Today, I lasted about 30 seconds I think I need to get more practice, as I've been inactive the whole school year.

And, I get koed in one of our interclan wars because I wasn't paying attention. So in general, my skills need sharpening

its was mostly the new members. this was like their first real war im guessing

I think enough people have posted therefore more tanking practices can be scheduled in the future

twas my first war, i only taked for a good 30 secs. and i didn't finish my food.

i had pray on including 15% def, but i couldn't hug as i couldn't move 1 square without being binded, binding was well done on RE's part, i got hit faster then i could eat, and thus got killed fast. (they hit hard on my 75 defence). im gonna get that to 80 quick lol.

The tanking practices I make do not have to be mandatory. I think people should just show up to make themselves better. BUT they do not want to and that is their choice. Which is fine and I cannot change it.

I always tank everyone to hell and back. Today I was piled at 4-27 and they had started using 15% prays obviously by the amount of damage they were doing. Once I was binded and they began to attack my hp would go from around 80 to 20 in seconds. They were amazingly strong even in low numbers, but I believe it was due to their 15% prays. I tanked to half a pizza left, not bad. (Had only been sniped 2 pizzas before the pile.)

I feel like im not as good as I should be at tanking mainly due to my low defence. I get hit a lot but I manage to stay alive without getting K.Oed. However this only causes me to eat food faster and last less longer.

I got piled in the beginning, ate all my food and stuff though but still got killed in less than a min
Nuffin I cud do, sowwie

I cant tank, I guess I'll start learning seeing as I'm only semi-retired now.

I don't even think it was referred to as tanking last time I played xD

I, maths, can tank

A topic on how to set runescape to "high priority" in the task manager and a few clean up guides might help for those that lag.

ive been getting alot better at tanking, and yes this is my 1st warring clan ever, so any practices or advice will be greatly appreciated

I'm hopeless at wars. I totally stink and I realize it. I'm hoping as I get my combat up I will get better. I'd be better at fishing for all of you and not going to the war tbh.

But I am trying to be a better killer. I've gained alot of lvls lately and I plan on training til I get to lvl 100 f2p and lvl 110 p2p

I get upset everytime I go to a war but I still come.

Two wars ago I got yelled at on ts and that really was bad experience for me.

Nolan <33 Thanks for the practices you offer but really til I get my lvl up it seems hopeless.

If anyone wants to have me kicked out cause I stink at war, they can come to me personally and tell me.

i tanked alright they just got my food down sniping me when i swiched to robes :'(
