Clanking: Funny reasons we do it.

[Icvenslie]

List your breif silly reasons.. we all got'em.

1. Boredom: I get tired of healing people and feel like killin stuff.:(

2. Greed: I want all the drops or most exp, maybe need monster for quest.:p

3. Frustration: Sick of reviving "squishy" players.. easier to just heal me.:mad:

4. Suicide Mission: No Tank.. but gonna give it a shot. Even though Boss one hits me.:eek:

5. Self Centered: I am the best and that's all that counts, therefore, you all suck and I have to.:cool:

6. Sleep Deprived: Been playing for 18 hours straight.. forgot why I am here.;)

7. Confrontation: Doing it just to hear everyone wine. I like to argue.:rolleyes:

8. Helping.. I think: Uncontrollable urge to hit that boss.. cuz the 4 fighters 3 mages and archer just aint killin it "Fast enough":D

9. Spent Real Money: Finally upped everything to +9.. trying to justify spending $150 bucks on a "Game"

10. The Challenge: To see how much I can take, and how well I can hold aggro against other players. A test of my skills if you will.

We all have our reasons.. these are a few I could think of.. add yours for a good laugh at yourself... you know you have done these at one time or another...

[Lomirei]

I agree with #3, but not for the same reason.
When I heal, I aggro...therefore I have to heal myself, the tank AND the dds.
When that happens, I just tank 'cuz it's just easier to heal myself if I get most of the dmg.

[LonetheWolf]

I clank with my mate, another cleric we do it for self sufficiency and the fun of seeing how far we can push ourselves :3

[rukian421]

errr maybe cause my build was designed to solo and clank...

[mutedmuse]

I can agree with all this. we need to be able to Solo so do have the ability to clank. granted we dont have enough offensive skills to be the tanks fighters we still get the job done *cought* MD KQ *cough*

[Klothos]

As I said before in another thread, I became a Clanker for selfish reasons: a Clanking build was the correct build for myself to Solo :D

I also wait til the last possible Lvl of a Quest to Clank: it impresses the lower Lvl players in the same quest :D

Also, the Clanker-build is the best for pounding bullies in PvP zones into submission :D

[Bob_Biscuit]

Mood: Sometimes, I just want to smash something's face in with a blunt object and pretend it's someone I loathe.

[nilathiel]

Because I want to dent my shield. D: It doesn't look cool if it's not dented.

don't forget how cool blood looks on those pointy maces and hammers

[nilathiel]

And I feel loved if I clank. D: The monsters love me! <3

[ahtai]

I just want some nice 1K+ exp point where the monster is RED, test my skills but don't want to be Pleveled.

[kuda_kufog]

enjoy killing ancient stonies for days on end when you come back online to find you can't turn in your quest when you picked it up after maintainence 3615 anc stonies to next lvl before making lvl60 is fun and hear me RAWR

Ain't that the truth! blooooood >:3

When the situation calls for it, Clerics can tank as fine as a warrior.

Of course, it will be easier or harder depending on the build you have. My case, I am building my cleric to be a tanking cleric so I have no problem at all.. though I do cry when MD eats me in one bite (level 49 currently).

There will be a day when I will tank the bosses and MD!!

Yeah tanking MD will be no prob for clerics around lvl 55+
I tanked MD every time between 55-60, unless there was a good fighter around :P

[suzuranx]

Sometimes..just to p!ss them off...what? I'm bored! >.<

[Daevor]

Because I can :D

[Hemmes]

Cause i need 10 golden bugs from the KQ and I dont want to do the KQ a zillion times to get them. ^ ^

...

LOL

Yeah I do that too, only mine is completely justified. With so much into spr, and an outfit to raise my crit %, I crit almost every hit.

That means a monster I normally hit for 100-200, gets almost every hit a crit at 500-1k. And if I crit nearly 1k every hit, than Im just as good as the fighter who hits it for 600-700 and crits 1.5k every 50 hits.

I have killer defense. (1400+ w/o charms, exteders, etc. Just with full pt and a T3 scroll -- not t4 i havent marked it with t4 or my new armor yet). Plus Im still using a lv 66 hat, and 68 pants, even tho I am lv 81 (simply because i cant find a 76 hat or 78 pants that beat my 60 ones!!!! D:<<<<). So.. anfd thats without the love thing. 5.5k hp and 1400+ def w/ fiull pt and scrolls. >< Yeah, I think I can clank in place of a fighter.

Besides. Heal keeps aggro better than mock anyday

Out of curiosity, what is your definition of 'clanking' ?

I see

a) soloing -> As we are alone, it goes without saying that we clank

b) clanking -> In a group with 3 fighters, we rush to the monsters and 'clank' it

c) clanking (2) -> In a group with *no* fighters, we rush to the monsters and 'clank' it

add other definitions here

So what exactly is meant by 'clanking' ?

For the record, I usually solo, and I never had to 'clank' yet [not sure my build would be good for that, but I live with it :)]

Tank + Cleric = Clank

Clank = Any cleric who's build and equipment enables him/her to hold aggro and deal damage without dying.

So, whether you solo large mobs or hold boss in kingdom quest or gather mobs for your party in abyss.. any time you are the main target of the most damage and can take it. Solo or partied.. a cleric tank is a Clank.

Yeah - thats my definition, too.....a lot of people believe that Tank, by definition, applies to being in a party only, but I dont see it that way

[DemonOfThe7seas]

hell half the time im forced to because for a cleric i have an unusually high def im like a cleric on roids, a big steaming pile of godliness

[NLWarrior]

I agree with number 4 :D
