Calling Sally a tank is a bit of a misnomer. While her job is to draw aggro, she actually doesn't take any hits. She's basically a distraction.

That said, she is definitely a rogue type so I don't know why she's insistent on being called a tank.

i add "Heil" everytime she uses "Hydra" in my head

@Kisato Its more that tank is referring to their ability to be the target instead of other players. By focusing on defense, IE not dying, you can be a "tank" regardless of how you do it. Her lack of taunt skills does mean she's not so much a tank as she is unable to effectively hold aggro but taunting is only useful for protecting weaker players. She seems to be relying on playing with Maple and lots of smaller hits making her a target.

Its a waste to be a full tank after all if you have no interest in playing as a tank. Maple herself doesn't really play as a tank. She's more an unstoppable force. She's actually more like a literal tank with her big gun and armour plating lol. The two things that make a party tank are taunting/aggro management and the ability to not die. Skills that lower everyone else aggro would be just as good as taunts for instance as long as they didn't require your own aggro to lower.

Basically what she means by tank is that she's nigh unkillable, not that shes meant to fight in a party as the primary method of defense for other players.

> cover move can be used 10 times
> spam cover move like crazy just because you move slow

@Kisato That is basically what an avoidance tank is. They get the attention of the mob(s), then basically dodge the attacks rather than taking the hits. While they are hit less often, then do take more damage per "hit" they do take, so a healer still has to be on their toes. In the mmo "Rift", the rogue class is can build this style of tank.

 

[Deathhappens]

I remember dodge tanking with DNC/NIN builds in FFXI. Man, time flies.

 

[EOTFOFYL]

Obligatory
insert Goblin Slayer joke
here, but in haiku.

 

[Redice]

AGI tanks were a thing even in the early days of RO. I remember playing as one nearly 17 or 18 years ago. Good times. Now every class is just a DPS race.

Cant wait for analysis from loli protection group BBS. I always find that chapter amusing where they overanalyze MC tactic and try to duplicate it.

 

[InsomniacReader]

So essentially Maple has FFXIV’s Black Mage skill Aetherial Manipulation (teleports to a selected in-range party member), but it doesn’t have animation lock or a cooldown timer..

 

[welcome2atlantis]

Ha! She just didn't want to walk to the boss, thus Cover Move. Weak alibi, Maple!

 

[magicalcrap]

So Cover Move is kind of like FEH's Wings of Mercy/Escape Route/Aerobatics/Warp Powder. Also, evade tanks are still a thing although not as popular as before because nowadays people just focus on DPS.

 

[Zethuron]

She is STILL overpowered, as she should be.

 

[probablyotaku]

lightning fast old man lol

 

[Kampfarsch]

okok what the fuck

they just accelerate time by 840% and wont let people log out for an entire fucking week ?
its only 2 hours in real time but holy shit they are literally trapped in a pvp arena for a whole week

and people are just ok with that ?????

 

[mahtan]

@Kampfarsch
You can log out but you can't log in during the event...

 

[immortalartisan]

Holy ducking shit that kind of time aceleration tech is on par with like a damn archo tech

I like the nice detail of the down side of cover Mode being increased damage which doesn’t matter in this case

 

[ryouhira]

[Cover Move] really usefull, you can instantly teleport into ally position in 5 meters radius, it's can used cover Maple sluggish move.
