While each path leads to a defined role, flexibility exists within the first tiers of other trees. This allows for some degree of hybrid building catering to individual preferences. However, unlocking any specialization requires mastering the purple "foundation" skills. These essential abilities, though initially mandatory for any path, offer valuable benefits and deserve maxing out regardless of specialization.

Doram tanks pride themselves on unwavering defense, protecting their allies from harm. This guide explores the optimal stat allocation for maximizing your tankiness and effectiveness.
'''Max HP is King:''' Prioritize '''VIT''' above all else. Both your signature <nowiki>{{#skill:5039}}</nowiki> '''Tuna Party''' shield and self-healing <nowiki>{{#skill:5038}}</nowiki> '''Tuna Belly''' scale directly with your Max HP, making VIT your lifeline. Remember, being the bulwark means absorbing damage, not dishing it out.
'''Defense Beyond HP:''' Once your HP pool is robust, focus on Resistance stats. These mitigate specific status effects that could hinder your tanking ability.
* '''AGI (100+)''': Boosts FLEE for dodging some attacks and ASPD for faster skill casting (especially crucial for the spammable <nowiki>{{#skill:5039}}</nowiki> Tuna Party). Gain immunity to Sleep and bleeding at 100, with additional Burning resistance.
* '''INT (100+)''': Enhances your SP pool and regeneration, ensuring smooth skill usage. Achieve immunity to Silence and blindness at 100 with fear resistance.
* '''DEX (50–100):''' While useful for reducing variable cast time (VCT) and slightly increasing ASPD, most tanking skills have zero VCT, making DEX less crucial. Consider this stat for skills like Lope but avoid overinvesting.
* '''LUK (100)''': A well-rounded stat offering Perfect Dodge and FLEE for general damage mitigation. Unlock immunity to curse and Confusion at 100, with additional burning and fear resistance.
'''Remember:''' Immunity thresholds may not be guaranteed against higher-level enemies due to penalties.
= Navigating the Doram Sea: Core Tanking Skills =
Doram Summoners boast a straightforward skill tree with three distinct branches: land, life, and sea. While Tank dorams primarily focus on the '''sea branch''', understanding its key skills is crucial for maximizing your defensive potential.
'''The Big Three:'''
* <nowiki>{{#skill:5039}}</nowiki> '''Tuna Party:''' Your signature shield, absorbing damage for yourself and nearby allies. Invest points here for increased duration and potency.
* <nowiki>{{#skill:5038}}</nowiki> '''Tuna Belly:''' Self-replenishing HP recovery, vital for sustaining yourself in the thick of battle. Consider additional points for faster activation and cooldown reduction.
* <nowiki>{{#skill:5022}}</nowiki> '''Stoop:''' Temporarily reduce your size, gaining increased defense and evasion. Invest heavily for longer duration.

|<nowiki>{{#skill:5038}}</nowiki> Tuna Belly may seem like a basic heal, but for Doram Tanks, it's a game-changer. Let's delve into its mechanics and how to unleash its full potential.
'''Healing Powerhouse:'''
This single-target heal shines when used on targets with high Max HP, making it perfect for tanks like yourself, Devotion Royal Guards, and Tiger Cannon Suras. Unlike Acolyte heals, <nowiki>{{#skill:5038}}</nowiki> Tuna Belly bypasses limitations like Undead status or Madogear/Berserk, ensuring your allies stay in the fight.
'''Gearing for Efficiency:'''
While powerful, <nowiki>{{#skill:5038}}</nowiki> Tuna Belly's initial limitations lie in its cast time and After After Cast Delay (ACD). To overcome these:
* '''Aim for 1.0s Fixed Cast Time (FCT) reduction'''
* '''Prioritize high ACD reduction:''' Gear up to reach over 56%, allowing bard buffs to push it beyond 86%.
'''Strategic Healing:'''
Choose the right <nowiki>{{#skill:5038}}</nowiki> Tuna Belly level based on the situation:
* '''Level 4:''' Heals for 70% Max HP with bonuses but has a long cooldown. Useful for emergencies or topping off allies with large HP pools.
* '''Level 2:''' No cooldown with Spirit of Sea learned. Spammable with proper FCT/ACD reduction, offering consistent single-target healing like no Arch Bishop can. Level 2 heals can average around 40% Max HP, imagine spamming multiple of these per second!
'''Self-Sustaining Tank:'''
Forget relying solely on external heals. <nowiki>{{#skill:5038}}</nowiki> Tuna Belly empowers you as a full-tank:
* '''Spam it on yourself while tanking mobs:''' Even if your <nowiki>{{#skill:5039}}</nowiki> Tuna Party shield breaks, you can instantly heal back and maintain your stance.
'''Animation Delay Quirks:'''
<nowiki>{{#skill:5038}}</nowiki> Tuna Belly has an animation delay unaffected by ACD reduction and ASPD. You'll observe this as occasional longer delays between casts. Luckily:
* '''Moving or being attacked cancels the delay:''' Spam faster while actively tanking and taking damage.
* '''Full-tanks can utilize high ACD reduction and ASPD:''' The delay affects their spamming less.
* '''Support-tanks might need active animation cancellation:''' Moving helps optimize their spamming speed.
|-
!<nowiki>{{#skill:5039}}</nowiki> '''Tuna Party'''
|
* '''Max Level''': 5
* '''Target''': Ally
* '''SP Cost''': 10 + (10 x Skill Level)
* '''Cast Delay''': 1.0s
* '''Cool Down''': 10.0s + (4.0s x Skill Level)
* '''Range''': 9
|The spirit of the delicious tuna protects the target for 30 seconds.
This skill will block physical and magical damage until the buff durability runs out.
The durability of the buff depends on the targets Max HP.
* The durability is doubled if  '''Spirit of Sea''' is learned.
* This skill has an animation (delay after attack) for the target, but not for the caster.
* '''[Lv 1]''' : Durability is equal to 10% of the targets Max HP.
* '''[Lv 2]''' : Durability is equal to 20% of the targets Max HP.
* '''[Lv 3]''' : Durability is equal to 30% of the targets Max HP.
* '''[Lv 4]''' : Durability is equal to 40% of the targets Max HP.
* '''[Lv 5]''' : Durability is equal to 50% of the targets Max HP.
|'''An Unmatched Shield:'''
<nowiki>{{#skill:5039}}</nowiki> Tuna Party, accessible at level 5, is a cornerstone skill for Doram Tanks. At max level, it grants a shield equal to '''100% of your Max HP''' for 30 seconds, effectively doubling your health! Unlike typical priest shields, this powerhouse boasts several unique features:
* '''Universal Protection:''' Blocks both '''physical and magical''' damage.
* '''Unlimited Hits:''' Absorbs a set amount of damage, not specific hits.
* '''Unbreakable Wall:''' Cannot be dispelled by enemies.
* '''Scalable Strength:''' Scales with '''your''' Max HP, not your target's.
* '''Knockback Immunity:''' Prevents knockbacks while active, crucial for maintaining your defensive stance.
* '''Enhanced Defense:''' Works '''after''' damage reduction checks, allowing defense stats and equipment like Khalitzburg Knight Card to further mitigate damage.
'''Tactical Deployment:'''
The catch? A hefty 30-second cooldown at level 5. Fear not, intrepid tank! You can overcome this hurdle with clever gear choices:
* '''Cute Grass Necklace [1]:''' Each reduces cooldown by 7 seconds, potentially eliminating it for lower-level casts.
* '''Fresh Tuna Talisman [1]:''' Adds another layer of cooldown reduction.
* '''Automatic Module (Power of Sea):''' Further optimizes high-level casts (3 seconds per module).
'''Tailoring Your Strategy:'''
While max-level <nowiki>{{#skill:5039}}</nowiki> Tuna Party is impressive, consider:
* '''Spammable Protection:''' Level 1 or 2 casts with no cooldown can offer '''higher overall damage absorption''' against sustained attacks.
* '''Party Support:''' For support tanks, prioritize low-level casts to shield multiple allies with their own Max HP as a baseline.
'''A Hidden Advantage:'''
This skill surprisingly has no casting animation on you, but on the target! This allows for rapid spamming with enough After Cast Delay (ACD) reduction. Turbo users can even shield the entire party in an instant! Mind the target's animation lock, though, as continuous spamming can hinder their movement and skill usage.

!<nowiki>{{#skill:5022}}</nowiki> '''Stoop'''
|
* '''Max Level''': 1
* '''Target''': Self
* '''SP Cost''': 10
* '''Cast Delay''': 1.0s
* '''Cool Down''': 15.0s
|Buff yourself for 6 seconds, reducing incoming damage by 90%.
* You can use other skills while this is active, but can not move cells.
|<nowiki>{{#skill:5022}}</nowiki> Stoop, a temporary defensive stance, stands out among your skills. Like Monk's Steel Body, it slashes incoming damage by 90%, offering a formidable shield. However, unlike its counterpart, <nowiki>{{#skill:5022}}</nowiki> Stoop lasts only 6 seconds, roots you in place, and allows normal attacks and skills.
'''Navigating the Limitations:'''
The key challenge with <nowiki>{{#skill:5022}}</nowiki> Stoop lies in its immobility. Movement, including forced knockbacks, instantly cancels it. To avoid wasting this crucial ability:
* '''Time it judiciously:''' Positioning is vital. Don't <nowiki>{{#skill:5022}}</nowiki> Stoop out of position, and anticipate enemy knockbacks.
* '''Utilize <nowiki>{{#skill:5039}}</nowiki> Tuna Party's synergy:''' The shield prevents knockbacks, ensuring safe <nowiki>{{#skill:5022}}</nowiki> Stooping. Remember, its damage reduction applies before shield depletion, further protecting you.
* '''Maneuver beforehand:''' Consider using Lope for strategic positioning before deploying <nowiki>{{#skill:5022}}</nowiki> Stoop (remember, using Lope during <nowiki>{{#skill:5022}}</nowiki> Stoop cancels it).
'''Unlocking Its Potential:'''
Beyond timing, remember:
* '''Embrace strategic aggression:''' During <nowiki>{{#skill:5022}}</nowiki> Stoop's cooldown (15 seconds), be more cautious. When it's active, push forward boldly, maximizing its impact.
* '''Sustain yourself:''' Utilize <nowiki>{{#skill:5038}}</nowiki> Tuna Belly for self-healing, and <nowiki>{{#skill:5039}}</nowiki> Tuna Party for additional fortification while <nowiki>{{#skill:5022}}</nowiki> Stooping.
'''A Deeper Dive:'''
* The 90% reduction works independently of other defenses, offering a reliable damage shield.
* Defenses ignoring soft DEF/MDEF have no effect on <nowiki>{{#skill:5022}}</nowiki> Stoop, making it a potent counter.
* In Bio 5, timely <nowiki>{{#skill:5022}}</nowiki> Stooping can even negate party-wiping "Max Pain" attacks (reflected damage). Imagine the satisfaction of saving your team!

!<nowiki>{{#skill:5023}}</nowiki> '''Lope'''
|
* '''Max Level''': 3
* '''Target''': Ground
* '''SP Cost''': 30
* '''Var. Cast Time''': 1.0s
* '''Cast Delay''': 1.0s
* '''Cool Down''': 2.0s x Skill Level
|Leap high and far into the air, letting you jump over obstacles.
* When this skill is learned, double the casting time of Emergency Call. (WoE skill)
* This skill can be used in instances, but can not jump over impassible walls.
* '''[Lv 1]''' : Leap 6 cells.
* '''[Lv 2]''' : Leap 10 cells.
* '''[Lv 3]''' : Leap 14 cells.
|Lope, despite its limitations, remains a crucial tool in your Doram Tank arsenal. Let's explore its strategic use to maximize its effectiveness.
'''Tactical Repositioning:'''
Your primary strength lies in anchoring the front line. But positioning shifts require agility. Lope enables you to:
* '''Close the gap:''' Quickly leap towards threats if your DPSise out of range.
* '''Disengage strategically:''' Jump away from overwhelming attacks to preserve HP and shield integrity. Remember, retreating wisely isn't cowardice, it's tactical brilliance!
'''Key Considerations:'''
* '''Target wisely:''' Ensure a clear line of sight to your target location for successful lope activation.
* '''Beware the VCT:''' Tank builds often incur a slight Variable Cast Time (VCT) on Lope. Be mindful of enemy attacks that might interrupt your leap.
* '''Shields offer security:''' Utilizing a shield drastically increases Lope's castability under pressure, allowing you to disengage even in the heat of battle.
'''Unlocking Lope's Potential:'''
* '''Practice timing:''' Master casting Lope just before heavy blows land, creating temporary invincibility frames during the leap.
* '''Coordinate with allies:''' Communicate your Lope usage to ensure smooth aggro management and avoid accidental separation from your party.
* '''Upgrade strategically:''' Consider gear options that reduce VCT or casting interruption chances for even greater agility.
|-
!<nowiki>{{#skill:5035}}</nowiki> '''Arclouse Dash'''
|
* '''Max Level''': 5
* '''Target''': Ally
* '''SP Cost''': 12:14:16:18:20
* '''Var. Cast Time''': 1.0s
* '''Cast Delay''': 1.0s
* '''Cool Down''': 6.0s
* '''Range''': 9
|Absorb the spirit of the Arclouse to become very agile. Increases your Movement speed and AGI.
* '''[Lv 1]''' : +20 AGI, Duration 60 seconds.
* '''[Lv 2]''' : +25 AGI, Duration 70 seconds.
* '''[Lv 3]''' : +30 AGI, Duration 80 seconds.
* '''[Lv 4]''' : +35 AGI, Duration 90 seconds.
* '''[Lv 5]''' : +40 AGI, Duration 100 seconds.
|While residing in the Life branch, Arclouse Dash deserves a serious look from Doram Tanks. Not only does it grant a decent +40 AGI for increased FLEE and spammable skill potential, but it also holds a hidden gem for tanks: a reliable Movement Speed buff.
'''Your Position, Your Strength:'''
As a tank, positioning is your battlefield ballet. Leading the charge and anchoring the frontline demands swiftness. But Summoners lack inherent mobility options, relying solely on Lope's cooldown-bound dash. Here's where Arclouse Dash shines.
'''Unwavering Speed:'''
This buff shines in its resilience:
* '''Unbreakable:''' Unlike Acolyte's Increase Agility, it cannot be dispelled by enemies.
* '''Undead Friendly:''' Even under the debilitating Undead status, your speed remains undeterred.
* '''Quagmire Resistant:''' Forget being bogged down by this common Bio 5 debuff.
* '''Self-Sufficient:''' No need to rely on party buffs - you control your own momentum.
'''Keeping Up with the Pack:'''
Maintain the buff constantly (except with Guyak Pudding) and watch yourself effortlessly match other tanks' stride. Couple it with Halter Lead for maximum swiftness and become a truly mobile bulwark.
'''Stacking Strategies:'''
Remember, the buff works like Increase Agility in terms of stacking:
* Doesn't stack with itself.
* Stacks with Halter Lead, but not Wind Walk, Speed Potions, or Guyak Pudding.

!<nowiki>{{#skill:5049}}</nowiki> '''Grooming'''

* '''Max Level''': 5
* '''Target''': Self
* '''SP Cost''': 15
* '''Fixed Cast Time''': 1.0s
* '''Cast Delay''': 1.0s
* '''Cool Down''': 70.0s - (10.0s x Skill Level)
|Heal yourself by licking your fur. Increases you Flee for a short time.
Cures a variety of statuses;
* Poison
* Frozen
* Stun
* Sleeping
* Bleeding
* Silence
* Freezing
* Frozen
* Deep Sleep
* Fear
* Mandragora Howling
* '''[Lv 1]''' : +100 Flee, Duration 3 seconds.
* '''[Lv 2]''' : +100 Flee, Duration 4 seconds.
* '''[Lv 3]''' : +100 Flee, Duration 5 seconds.
* '''[Lv 4]''' : +100 Flee, Duration 6 seconds.
* '''[Lv 5]''' : +100 Flee, Duration 7 seconds.
|While not a core component of every Doram's arsenal, "Grooming" offers valuable utility in specific situations. Let's explore its strengths and limitations to determine its potential usefulness.
'''Curative Capabilities:'''
Grooming primarily shines as a status effect cleanser. Unlike most healing skills, it bypasses certain limitations, allowing its use even on silenced or frozen allies (excluding "Frozen"). This makes it effective for countering:
* '''Fear:''' A debilitating mental debuff crippling your allies' combat effectiveness.
* '''Freezing:''' A temporary immobility effect hindering movement and attacks.
* '''Mandragora Howling:''' A fear-inducing AoE debuff often encountered in certain areas.
'''Fleeting FLEE Boost:'''
Grooming grants a temporary +100 FLEE buff, potentially helpful in dodging attacks. Unfortunately, the effectiveness of FLEE diminishes rapidly against large mobs due to the "mob penalty" reducing its impact. This relegates the buff to niche situations where dodging a few key attacks can make a difference.
'''Considerations and Usage:'''
* '''Skill Level:''' Maxing Grooming is optional, prioritizing levels based on its individual usefulness for your playst yle.
* '''Strategic Deployment:''' Grooming shines in areas where specific status effects like Fear or Freezing pose threats.
* '''Alternative Options:''' Consider carrying potions or utilizing complementary skills for a more versatile approach to status effects.

* '''[Lv 4]''' : +100 Flee, Duration 13 seconds.
* '''[Lv 5]''' : +100 Flee, Duration 15 seconds.
|Suggested Level: 5
Usually somewhat more valuable than Grooming. It has more or less the same impact, but works on the whole party, and has slightly longer length but too longer CD. It is more valuable since you'll really utilize the expertise whereas your partners are beneath status impacts but not you. But the long CD is making it very difficult to utilize. Besides, it's decent to be beyond any doubt merely have typically in your unit.

= Doram Tank Gear Guide: Prioritizing Your Defenses =
Before diving into specific equipment recommendations, let's establish the key stats we're aiming for as a Doram Tank:
'''1. Maximizing HP:'''
* '''High VIT and Bonus Max HP%:''' Maximize your core HP pool as it directly buffs both <nowiki>{{#skill:5039}}</nowiki> Tuna Party and self-cast <nowiki>{{#skill:5038}}</nowiki> Tuna Belly. Remember, Dorams boast the highest base HP in the game!
* '''Every bit counts:''' Prioritize gear with HP or HP% bonuses whenever possible.
'''2. Building Robust Defenses:'''
* '''Damage reduction:''' aim for a solid blend of DEF and MDEF for all-around protection. Every 400 DEF/100 MDEF translates roughly to 100% more effective HP against physical and magical attacks.
* '''Resistance''': Class, size, racial, elemental resistances further enhance your tankiness against specific threats. These effects stack multiplicatively, making them highly valuable.
* '''Full tank vs. Support tank:''' As a full tank, prioritize all defenses equally. Support tanks can prioritize HP and general damage reduction while considering resistance depending on team needs.
'''3. Optimizing <nowiki>{{#skill:5039}}</nowiki> Tuna Party:'''
* '''Cooldown reduction:''' Aim for at least 14.0s reduction for spamming level 1 <nowiki>{{#skill:5039}}</nowiki> Tuna Party or 18.0s for level 2 (support tanks). Full tanks can benefit from 12 to 20.0s, depending on playstyle.
* '''Fixed Cast Time (FCT) reduction:''' Essential for support tanks who spam <nowiki>{{#skill:5038}}</nowiki> Tuna Belly. Aim for a 1.0s reduction, while full tanks should strive for at least 0.5s.
'''4. Enabling Efficient Self-Healing:'''
* '''After Cast Delay (ACD) reduction:''' Crucial for reliable self-healing with level 2 <nowiki>{{#skill:5038}}</nowiki> Tuna Belly. Support tanks require at least 56% reduction to reach 86% with Bard buffs. Full tanks can benefit highly from high ACD reduction but may prioritize other stats depending on their playstyle.
* '''Attack Speed:''' Helpful for faster skill casts but harder to acquire on tank gear. Consider Wanderer's Swing Dance buff or Awakening Potions to supplement.
'''Gear Progression:'''
While this guide focuses on late-game builds, early options exist:
* '''Doram Elegant/Luxury sets:''' Great starting point for budget-conscious tanking.
* '''Unrefined/unenchanted Illusion Goibne's set:''' Provides a solid foundation for gradual upgrades.

Summoner (Doram)
| colspan="3" |The '''Temporal Circlet''' might seem like a DPS headgear at first glance, but there's a hidden perk for Doram Tanks! While expensive, it offers access to a unique enchant: '''Adamantine Lv 5'''.
Now, why is this important? As a dedicated Doram Tank, you don't have dedicated '''Bio 5 headgear''' options. The Temporal Circlet becomes the lone gateway to obtaining '''Adamantine''', an enchant that significantly boosts your '''DEF and MDEF''' for ultimate defense.
However, let's be honest: this helmet costs a pretty penny. It's definitely a '''"luxury pick"''' for tanks who are already well-equipped and want to push their defenses to the absolute limit.
'''But let's imagine you're rolling in Zeny and aiming for the ultimate tanking crown:'''
* '''Refine it to +11:''' This unlocks its full potential for defense buffs.
* '''Enchant it strategically:'''
** '''VIT+4:''' More HP for extra durability on the frontlines.
** '''Temporal Jewel (Vit) Lv. 3:''' Even more HP!
** '''Temporal Jewel (Agi) Lv. 3:''' Increased FLEE for dodging nasty blows.
** '''The star of the show: Adamantine Lv 5:''' This legendary enchant grants a massive DEF and MDEF boost, making you a true wall against enemies.
Remember, while powerful, the Temporal Circlet is a '''late-game investment'''. If you're just starting out as a Doram Tank, there are more budget-friendly options that offer great value for your Zeny. However, if you're a seasoned tank seeking the ultimate upgrade, the Temporal Circlet, perfectly enchanted, can be your crown jewel of defense!

Here's why the Palace Guard Cap is great for new tanks:
* '''Easy on the wallet:''' It's much more affordable than many other tanking helmets, allowing you to save your Zeny for other important gear.
* '''Defense you can count on:''' The damage reduction helps you stay in the thick of the fight, protecting your party like a true leader.
* '''Flexibility for your playstyle:''' If you prioritize resists (resistance to specific types of attacks) over faster heals (ACD reduction), this helmet is a great choice.
'''Pro Tip:''' Refine it to a level you can comfortably afford. Every bit of extra defense helps!

Type: Card

Weight: 1
|Imagine taking '''5% less damage''' from almost every monster you encounter. That's what this awesome card helps you achieve! Here's the trick: it works best when paired with another special card called the '''Khalitzburg Knight Card''' already equipped on your shield.
* '''Double Defense Boost:''' Combine it with the Khalitzburg Knight Card on your shield, and you unlock a '''hidden bonus - 5% damage reduction''' against most monsters in the game! Think of it as a double layer of protection, making you incredibly tough.
* '''Easy to Find:''' Compared to some rare cards, the White Knight Card is more readily available, making it easier to start building your defensive power.
* '''Straightforward Benefit:''' No complicated mechanics or confusing effects here. This card simply helps you take less damage, allowing you to focus on protecting your party.
'''Remember:''' While powerful in combination, the White Knight Card alone doesn't offer the full defense boost. But don't worry, the Khalitzburg Knight Card is also beginner-friendly!
'''Pro Tip:''' Equip both the White Knight Card and the Khalitzburg Knight Card for ultimate defense against those big baddies!

* '''Peace of Mind:''' Don't want to sweat about a broken weapon messing with your defense? This card prevents it, ensuring you always get the full benefit of your weapon's stats and any defensive cards attached.
* '''Defensive Focus:''' If you prioritize pure tankiness and minimizing any potential risks, this card can be a solid choice for added security.
'''But here's what to consider:'''
* '''Summoner's Weapon Flexibility:''' Remember, most Summoner skills don't rely on your weapon itself. So, a broken weapon doesn't directly impact your ability to tank or use key skills.
* '''Opportunity Cost:''' Other cards might offer more impactful benefits like increased HP, damage reduction, or elemental resistances. Weigh the pros and cons based on your playstyle and needs.

* '''Tuna Turbo:''' Forget waiting – spam those <nowiki>{{#skill:5039}}</nowiki> Tuna Party shields like a champion! This card boosts your '''attack speed''', making you cast shields almost instantly, keeping your party safer than ever.
* '''Focus on Protection:''' As a support tank, your main job is keeping others safe. This card lets you do that even more effectively, without needing high attack stats. Think of it as trading punches for shields!
* '''Personal Playstyle:''' This card might not be for everyone, but if you like the fast-paced, shield-slinging support style, it's a fun and effective option.
'''Remember:''' While the Dancing Marionette Card offers speed, it does sacrifice some attack power.

* '''Simple and Effective:''' No need for complicated mechanics or confusing effects. This shield focuses on what truly matters: keeping you and your team in the fight.
'''Things to remember:'''
* While powerful in terms of HP and stamina efficiency, it might offer less '''Attack Critical Delay (ACD) reduction''' compared to some other shields. Choose what suits your needs: '''pure tankiness''' or '''a mix of defense and offensive support'''.
* This shield shines especially for '''supporting Doram's''' playstyle, but it's still a solid option for any tank that values high HP and frequent skill casts.

|Remember the standard Khalitzburg Knight Card? This one takes it a step further, trading physical defense for '''powerful magic defense (+10 MDEF)'''. Think of it as a magical shield for when fireballs and spells start flying!
* '''Magic Mayhem:''' Facing off against mages and magical monsters? This card provides '''targeted protection''' against their attacks, making you significantly tougher in those specific situations.
* '''Advanced Investment:''' This card is more expensive than the basic Khalitzburg Knight Card and requires the rarer '''Mutated White Knight Card''' for the full size resistance bonus. Consider if it fits your budget and playstyle.
* '''Strategic Choice:''' This card excels in specific encounters, not as an all-around solution. Consider it a powerful tool for your magic-defense arsenal.
'''Remember:''' While strong against magic, it offers less physical defense than the standard Khalitzburg Knight Card. Choose the card that best suits the threats you face most often.

* '''End-Game Power:''' At higher levels, many areas feature primarily boss-type enemies. This card shines there, helping you tank those encounters more effectively.
* '''Strategic Choice:''' Remember, resistance types stack additively. This card is most valuable when combined with other defensive strategies against bosses, not as a general solution.
'''But there are things to consider:'''
* '''Rarity:''' This card is harder to find compared to others, so weigh its benefit against its availability.
* '''Niche Use:''' While powerful against bosses, it might not be as useful in everyday situations with various enemy types. Consider it a specialized tool for your tanking arsenal.
* '''Mixing It Up:''' Remember, stacking the same type of resistance (like size or race) is usually more effective than mixing different types. Choose wisely based on the enemy you're facing.

|Taking '''reduced damage from almost all monsters''', big or small! That's what this card helps you achieve with its '''balanced size resistance'''. Think of it as an all-terrain shield, offering protection in various situations.
* '''Size Doesn't Matter:''' Unlike the Khalitzburg Knight Card, this card protects you against '''both medium and small monsters''', making it useful against a wider range of enemies. No need to switch cards depending on the foe!
* '''Bonus Dodge:''' The chance to trigger '''Perfect Dodge +30''' when attacked can be a lifesaver, especially when facing hordes of enemies.
* '''Flexible Choice:''' This card offers a good balance between size resistance and the bonus dodge, making it a solid choice for those who don't want to specialize in specific enemy types.
'''But here's what to keep in mind:'''
* '''Less Reduction:''' It offers slightly '''less damage reduction''' compared to the Khalitzburg Knight Card combo against medium and large monsters. Consider if the wider size coverage and dodge chance outweigh the lower reduction for your playstyle.
* '''Not the Ultimate:''' While versatile, it might not be the absolute best option against specific enemy types where other cards offer more targeted protection.

* '''Attack Critical Delay (ACD) Reduction:''' At +9 refine, the YSF01 Manteau reduces your ACD by a '''whopping 17%'''. Think of it as speeding up your reactions, letting you cast shields and abilities quicker to protect your allies.
* '''Standalone Power:''' Unlike other YSF01 pieces, this mantle works well on its own, without needing the full set for its benefits. Perfect for tanks who prefer flexibility!
* '''Early Advantage:''' This armor is obtainable and refines well at lower levels, making it a good choice to kickstart your tanking journey with swiftness.
'''Things to remember:'''
* While it boosts speed, this armor doesn't offer the '''highest base defense''' compared to some other options. Choose what suits you best: '''faster reactions''' or '''pure tankiness'''.
* This might not be the best fit for '''endgame content''' where pure defense becomes more crucial.
'''Pro Tip:''' Refine your YSF01 Manteau to '''+9''' to unlock its full ACD reduction potential.

* '''Neutralizes the Norm:''' Did you know most monsters rely on '''Neutral-element damage''' in their normal attacks and many skills? This card acts like a magic shield, '''reducing''' that damage and making you significantly tougher.
* '''Simple and Effective:''' No need to worry about complicated mechanics or remembering specific resistances. This card offers '''straightforward protection''' against a wide range of threats.
* '''Beginner-Friendly:''' It's relatively easy to find and doesn't require expensive upgrades, making it a '''solid choice''' as you start your tanking journey.
'''Remember:''' While powerful, the Raydric Card might not be the best against enemies who use specific elements like Fire or Ice. Consider other options if you face those types of foes more often.

* '''Attack Critical Delay (ACD) Reduction:''' This card provides some ACD reduction, helping you '''react quicker''' and toss those tunas before enemies land their attacks. Think of it as a slight boost to your shield-slinging reflexes.
* '''Attack Speed Boost:''' It also offers a small '''Attack Speed increase''', allowing you to '''throw out more tunas''' in a shorter time. Perfect for those intense moments where your party needs constant protection.
* '''Niche Strategy:''' This card shines for players who focus heavily on using the '''Tunas skill'''. If you prefer other defensive strategies, other options might be more suitable.
'''Things to remember:'''
* This card's benefits are '''targeted towards Tuna spam'''.
* The ACD reduction and ASPD boost are '''relatively small''', so consider if they fit your playstyle and resource availability.

Think of it as a magic switch, letting you unleash shields faster than ever before.

* '''Flexible Choice:''' Unlike some FCT options, the Automatic Leg doesn't require specific set bonuses, '''giving you freedom''' to mix and match your gear. Find the perfect combo that fits your playstyle!
'''Things to remember:'''
* While powerful for Tuna Bellies, this leg might not be the '''absolute best''' in terms of pure defense compared to some other options. Consider what suits you best: '''instant shields''' or '''maximum tankiness'''.
* Achieving 1.0s casting time for instant <nowiki>{{#skill:5038}}</nowiki> Tuna Belly requires specific enchants and potentially other gear choices. Research and experimentation are key!

* '''Strategic Choice:''' While not the biggest cooldown reduction, this amulet offers a different style of defense, especially valuable for Doram Tanks who like to '''maximize protection'''. Pair it with other gear for a truly layered defense!
'''Things to remember:'''
* This amulet's auto-shields work best when you '''actively engage enemies''', taking some damage to trigger them. They won't refresh existing <nowiki>{{#skill:5039}}</nowiki> Tuna Party shields.
* While powerful for strategic defense, it might not offer the '''pure cooldown reduction''' of other options.

= Doram Tanking 101: Be the Party's Bulwark! =
Hey, new Doram Tanks, ready to shield your allies and become the heart of the party? This guide will walk you through the basics of Doram tanking, helping you become a wall your teammates can rely on!
'''Your Battle Position:'''
Think of yourself as the '''centerpiece of the party''', right in the middle of the action. From here, you can keep an eye on everyone and react quickly.
'''Protecting the Vulnerable:'''
Your primary focus is shielding '''party members without shields or magic classes''', who are typically weaker. Be their guardian angel!
'''Shielding Savvy:'''
* '''Proactive Protection:''' Cast shields '''before combat starts''' to give everyone a head start.
* '''Shield Refresh:''' Top up shields if you see teammates taking damage. Remember, '''prevention is better than cure!'''
* '''Tank Support:''' When the '''main tank''' is struggling, prioritize shielding them to keep the party safe.
* '''Strategic Shielding:''' For other allies, only shield them if they're facing '''multiple enemies''' and are in danger. Prioritize keeping the whole party alive, not just individuals.
'''Skillful Survival:'''
* <nowiki>{{#skill:5038}}</nowiki> '''Tuna Belly:''' Your bread and butter shield! Use it generously to protect your comrades.
* '''Ygg Seed:''' A secondary option for HP and SP recovery when <nowiki>{{#skill:5038}}</nowiki> Tuna Belly is on cooldown.
* '''Arclouse Dash:''' Your escape card! Use it to dodge '''undispellable debuffs''' that slow you down.
* '''Shrimp Buffs:''' Keep "Bunch of Shrimp" and "Tasty Shrimp Party" active for added defense and buffs.
* <nowiki>{{#skill:5022}}</nowiki> '''Stoop:''' When facing many enemies, activate <nowiki>{{#skill:5022}}</nowiki> "Stoop" to '''reduce damage''' and make your shields even more effective.
* '''Lope:''' If swarmed, use "Lope" to run away. When possible, find cover near walls or corners to avoid knockbacks.
* '''Personal Buffs:''' "Purring" and "Grooming" can cleanse certain debuffs on yourself, but their cooldown is too long for frequent party support.
'''Remember:'''
* Practice makes perfect! Experiment and find what works best for you.
* Communication is key! Let your party know your strategies and rely on their support.
* Have fun! Being a Doram Tank is a rewarding role, so enjoy protecting your allies and being the hero of the team!
This guide provides a starting point, but remember, the journey of a Doram Tank is ongoing. As you gain experience, you'll develop your own strategies and become an even more formidable protector!

The Feline Force: Unveiling the Doram Summoner

Unique to the agile Doram race, the Summoner class taps into the power of nature, forging bonds with various creatures to fight alongside them. This versatile class offers three distinct paths for specialization, each catering to different playstyles:

Unleashing Primal Fury: The Animal/Life Tree Path, marked by fiery orange hues, focuses on raw physical might. Summoners on this path command fearsome beasts to tear through enemies, harnessing the untamed power of the wild.

Harnessing Elemental Might: The Vegetable/Land Tree Path, bathed in emerald green, channels natural magic. Summoners here conjure potent spells and call upon mystical flora to inflict magical devastation upon their foes.

Guarding Like the Tides: The Seafood/Sea Tree Path, adorned in calming blue tones, prioritizes defense and support. Summoners on this path become stalwart protectors, commanding aquatic companions to bolster allies and shield them from harm.

While each path leads to a defined role, flexibility exists within the first tiers of other trees. This allows for some degree of hybrid building catering to individual preferences. However, unlocking any specialization requires mastering the purple "foundation" skills. These essential abilities, though initially mandatory for any path, offer valuable benefits and deserve maxing out regardless of specialization.

Guardians of the Pack: Unveiling the Doram Tank

Calling all aspiring protectors! The Doram Summoner, with its versatile skillset and loyal companions, offers a unique path to tanking with two distinct styles: the full tank and the support tank. This guide is going to cover both paths to offer exciting ways to shield your allies and conquer challenging content.

Strengths:

  • Unsurpassed HP: Dorams boast the highest base HP in the game, making them natural tanks.
  • Budget-Friendly: Gear demands are less intense compared to DPS builds.
  • Party Hero: Crucial for tackling late-game dungeons, ensuring your allies' safety. Not only that their skills can`t be dispelled, but they're spammable on numerous characters and synergistic with devo and other support skills. Spirit Handler buffs are AoE!
  • Straightforward Gameplay: Master the basics and excel with clear tactics.
  • Self-Sustaining: Forget frequent potions! They can self-heal with {{#skill:5038}} Tuna Belly and can incidentally tank mobs by self-spamming and Stoop.
  • No level prerequisites: not at all like devo
    Challenges:
  • Damage Deficit: Embrace the "damage not found" message. Solo play? Not happening.
  • Late-Game Investment: While cheaper than DPS, viability requires effort.
  • Not Beginner-Friendly: Mastering tanking takes time and experience.
  • SP Hungry

Doram tanks pride themselves on unwavering defense, protecting their allies from harm. This guide explores the optimal stat allocation for maximizing your tankiness and effectiveness.

Max HP is King: Prioritize VIT above all else. Both your signature {{#skill:5039}} Tuna Party shield and self-healing {{#skill:5038}} Tuna Belly scale directly with your Max HP, making VIT your lifeline. Remember, being the bulwark means absorbing damage, not dishing it out.

Defense Beyond HP: Once your HP pool is robust, focus on Resistance stats. These mitigate specific status effects that could hinder your tanking ability.

  • AGI (100+): Boosts FLEE for dodging some attacks and ASPD for faster skill casting (especially crucial for the spammable {{#skill:5039}} Tuna Party). Gain immunity to Sleep and bleeding at 100, with additional Burning resistance.
  • INT (100+): Enhances your SP pool and regeneration, ensuring smooth skill usage. Achieve immunity to Silence and blindness at 100 with fear resistance.
  • DEX (50–100): While useful for reducing variable cast time (VCT) and slightly increasing ASPD, most tanking skills have zero VCT, making DEX less crucial. Consider this stat for skills like Lope but avoid overinvesting.
  • LUK (100): A well-rounded stat offering Perfect Dodge and FLEE for general damage mitigation. Unlock immunity to curse and Confusion at 100, with additional burning and fear resistance.

Remember: Immunity thresholds may not be guaranteed against higher-level enemies due to penalties.

Navigating the Doram Sea: Core Tanking Skills

Doram Summoners boast a straightforward skill tree with three distinct branches: land, life, and sea. While Tank dorams primarily focus on the sea branch, understanding its key skills is crucial for maximizing your defensive potential.


The Big Three:

  • {{#skill:5039}} Tuna Party: Your signature shield, absorbing damage for yourself and nearby allies. Invest points here for increased duration and potency.
  • {{#skill:5038}} Tuna Belly: Self-replenishing HP recovery, vital for sustaining yourself in the thick of battle. Consider additional points for faster activation and cooldown reduction.
  • {{#skill:5022}} Stoop: Temporarily reduce your size, gaining increased defense and evasion. Invest heavily for longer duration.
Skill Properties Description Explanation / Remarks
{{#skill:5038}} Tuna Belly
  • Max Level: 5
  • Target: Ally
  • SP Cost: 10 + (10 x Skill Level)
  • Fixed Cast Time: 1.0s
  • Cast Delay: 1.0s
  • Cool Down: 2.0s:5.0s:8.0s:11.0s:14.0s
  • Range: 9
 Absorb delicious tuna to restore a portion of the targets Max HP.
  • [Lv 1] : Restores 10% Max HP.
  • [Lv 2] : Restores 30% Max HP.
  • [Lv 3] : Restores 50% Max HP.
  • [Lv 4] : Restores 70% Max HP.
  • [Lv 5] : Restores 90% Max HP.
 {{#skill:5038}} Tuna Belly may seem like a basic heal, but for Doram Tanks, it's a game-changer. Let's delve into its mechanics and how to unleash its full potential.

Healing Powerhouse:

This single-target heal shines when used on targets with high Max HP, making it perfect for tanks like yourself, Devotion Royal Guards, and Tiger Cannon Suras. Unlike Acolyte heals, {{#skill:5038}} Tuna Belly bypasses limitations like Undead status or Madogear/Berserk, ensuring your allies stay in the fight.

Gearing for Efficiency:

While powerful, {{#skill:5038}} Tuna Belly's initial limitations lie in its cast time and After After Cast Delay (ACD). To overcome these:

  • Aim for 1.0s Fixed Cast Time (FCT) reduction
  • Prioritize high ACD reduction: Gear up to reach over 56%, allowing bard buffs to push it beyond 86%.

Strategic Healing:

Choose the right {{#skill:5038}} Tuna Belly level based on the situation:

  • Level 4: Heals for 70% Max HP with bonuses but has a long cooldown. Useful for emergencies or topping off allies with large HP pools.
  • Level 2: No cooldown with Spirit of Sea learned. Spammable with proper FCT/ACD reduction, offering consistent single-target healing like no Arch Bishop can. Level 2 heals can average around 40% Max HP, imagine spamming multiple of these per second!

Self-Sustaining Tank:

Forget relying solely on external heals. {{#skill:5038}} Tuna Belly empowers you as a full-tank:

  • Spam it on yourself while tanking mobs: Even if your {{#skill:5039}} Tuna Party shield breaks, you can instantly heal back and maintain your stance.

Animation Delay Quirks:

{{#skill:5038}} Tuna Belly has an animation delay unaffected by ACD reduction and ASPD. You'll observe this as occasional longer delays between casts. Luckily:

  • Moving or being attacked cancels the delay: Spam faster while actively tanking and taking damage.
  • Full-tanks can utilize high ACD reduction and ASPD: The delay affects their spamming less.
  • Support-tanks might need active animation cancellation: Moving helps optimize their spamming speed.
{{#skill:5039}} Tuna Party
  • Max Level: 5
  • Target: Ally
  • SP Cost: 10 + (10 x Skill Level)
  • Cast Delay: 1.0s
  • Cool Down: 10.0s + (4.0s x Skill Level)
  • Range: 9
 The spirit of the delicious tuna protects the target for 30 seconds.

This skill will block physical and magical damage until the buff durability runs out.

The durability of the buff depends on the targets Max HP.

  • The durability is doubled if  Spirit of Sea is learned.
  • This skill has an animation (delay after attack) for the target, but not for the caster.
  • [Lv 1] : Durability is equal to 10% of the targets Max HP.
  • [Lv 2] : Durability is equal to 20% of the targets Max HP.
  • [Lv 3] : Durability is equal to 30% of the targets Max HP.
  • [Lv 4] : Durability is equal to 40% of the targets Max HP.
  • [Lv 5] : Durability is equal to 50% of the targets Max HP.
 An Unmatched Shield:

{{#skill:5039}} Tuna Party, accessible at level 5, is a cornerstone skill for Doram Tanks. At max level, it grants a shield equal to 100% of your Max HP for 30 seconds, effectively doubling your health! Unlike typical priest shields, this powerhouse boasts several unique features:

  • Universal Protection: Blocks both physical and magical damage.
  • Unlimited Hits: Absorbs a set amount of damage, not specific hits.
  • Unbreakable Wall: Cannot be dispelled by enemies.
  • Scalable Strength: Scales with your Max HP, not your target's.
  • Knockback Immunity: Prevents knockbacks while active, crucial for maintaining your defensive stance.
  • Enhanced Defense: Works after damage reduction checks, allowing defense stats and equipment like Khalitzburg Knight Card to further mitigate damage.

Tactical Deployment:

The catch? A hefty 30-second cooldown at level 5. Fear not, intrepid tank! You can overcome this hurdle with clever gear choices:

  • Cute Grass Necklace [1]: Each reduces cooldown by 7 seconds, potentially eliminating it for lower-level casts.
  • Fresh Tuna Talisman [1]: Adds another layer of cooldown reduction.
  • Automatic Module (Power of Sea): Further optimizes high-level casts (3 seconds per module).

Tailoring Your Strategy:

While max-level {{#skill:5039}} Tuna Party is impressive, consider:

  • Spammable Protection: Level 1 or 2 casts with no cooldown can offer higher overall damage absorption against sustained attacks.
  • Party Support: For support tanks, prioritize low-level casts to shield multiple allies with their own Max HP as a baseline.

A Hidden Advantage:

This skill surprisingly has no casting animation on you, but on the target! This allows for rapid spamming with enough After Cast Delay (ACD) reduction. Turbo users can even shield the entire party in an instant! Mind the target's animation lock, though, as continuous spamming can hinder their movement and skill usage.

{{#skill:5022}} Stoop
  • Max Level: 1
  • Target: Self
  • SP Cost: 10
  • Cast Delay: 1.0s
  • Cool Down: 15.0s
 Buff yourself for 6 seconds, reducing incoming damage by 90%.
  • You can use other skills while this is active, but can not move cells.
 {{#skill:5022}} Stoop, a temporary defensive stance, stands out among your skills. Like Monk's Steel Body, it slashes incoming damage by 90%, offering a formidable shield. However, unlike its counterpart, {{#skill:5022}} Stoop lasts only 6 seconds, roots you in place, and allows normal attacks and skills.

Navigating the Limitations:

The key challenge with {{#skill:5022}} Stoop lies in its immobility. Movement, including forced knockbacks, instantly cancels it. To avoid wasting this crucial ability:

  • Time it judiciously: Positioning is vital. Don't {{#skill:5022}} Stoop out of position, and anticipate enemy knockbacks.
  • Utilize {{#skill:5039}} Tuna Party's synergy: The shield prevents knockbacks, ensuring safe {{#skill:5022}} Stooping. Remember, its damage reduction applies before shield depletion, further protecting you.
  • Maneuver beforehand: Consider using Lope for strategic positioning before deploying {{#skill:5022}} Stoop (remember, using Lope during {{#skill:5022}} Stoop cancels it).

Unlocking Its Potential:

Beyond timing, remember:

  • Embrace strategic aggression: During {{#skill:5022}} Stoop's cooldown (15 seconds), be more cautious. When it's active, push forward boldly, maximizing its impact.
  • Sustain yourself: Utilize {{#skill:5038}} Tuna Belly for self-healing, and {{#skill:5039}} Tuna Party for additional fortification while {{#skill:5022}} Stooping.

A Deeper Dive:

  • The 90% reduction works independently of other defenses, offering a reliable damage shield.
  • Defenses ignoring soft DEF/MDEF have no effect on {{#skill:5022}} Stoop, making it a potent counter.
  • In Bio 5, timely {{#skill:5022}} Stooping can even negate party-wiping "Max Pain" attacks (reflected damage). Imagine the satisfaction of saving your team!
{{#skill:5023}} Lope
  • Max Level: 3
  • Target: Ground
  • SP Cost: 30
  • Var. Cast Time: 1.0s
  • Cast Delay: 1.0s
  • Cool Down: 2.0s x Skill Level
 Leap high and far into the air, letting you jump over obstacles.
  • When this skill is learned, double the casting time of Emergency Call. (WoE skill)
  • This skill can be used in instances, but can not jump over impassible walls.
  • [Lv 1] : Leap 6 cells.
  • [Lv 2] : Leap 10 cells.
  • [Lv 3] : Leap 14 cells.
 Lope, despite its limitations, remains a crucial tool in your Doram Tank arsenal. Let's explore its strategic use to maximize its effectiveness.

Tactical Repositioning:

Your primary strength lies in anchoring the front line. But positioning shifts require agility. Lope enables you to:

  • Close the gap: Quickly leap towards threats if your DPSise out of range.
  • Disengage strategically: Jump away from overwhelming attacks to preserve HP and shield integrity. Remember, retreating wisely isn't cowardice, it's tactical brilliance!

Key Considerations:

  • Target wisely: Ensure a clear line of sight to your target location for successful lope activation.
  • Beware the VCT: Tank builds often incur a slight Variable Cast Time (VCT) on Lope. Be mindful of enemy attacks that might interrupt your leap.
  • Shields offer security: Utilizing a shield drastically increases Lope's castability under pressure, allowing you to disengage even in the heat of battle.

Unlocking Lope's Potential:

  • Practice timing: Master casting Lope just before heavy blows land, creating temporary invincibility frames during the leap.
  • Coordinate with allies: Communicate your Lope usage to ensure smooth aggro management and avoid accidental separation from your party.
  • Upgrade strategically: Consider gear options that reduce VCT or casting interruption chances for even greater agility.
{{#skill:5035}} Arclouse Dash
  • Max Level: 5
  • Target: Ally
  • SP Cost: 12:14:16:18:20
  • Var. Cast Time: 1.0s
  • Cast Delay: 1.0s
  • Cool Down: 6.0s
  • Range: 9
 Absorb the spirit of the Arclouse to become very agile. Increases your Movement speed and AGI.
  • [Lv 1] : +20 AGI, Duration 60 seconds.
  • [Lv 2] : +25 AGI, Duration 70 seconds.
  • [Lv 3] : +30 AGI, Duration 80 seconds.
  • [Lv 4] : +35 AGI, Duration 90 seconds.
  • [Lv 5] : +40 AGI, Duration 100 seconds.
 While residing in the Life branch, Arclouse Dash deserves a serious look from Doram Tanks. Not only does it grant a decent +40 AGI for increased FLEE and spammable skill potential, but it also holds a hidden gem for tanks: a reliable Movement Speed buff.

Your Position, Your Strength:

As a tank, positioning is your battlefield ballet. Leading the charge and anchoring the frontline demands swiftness. But Summoners lack inherent mobility options, relying solely on Lope's cooldown-bound dash. Here's where Arclouse Dash shines.

Unwavering Speed:

This buff shines in its resilience:

  • Unbreakable: Unlike Acolyte's Increase Agility, it cannot be dispelled by enemies.
  • Undead Friendly: Even under the debilitating Undead status, your speed remains undeterred.
  • Quagmire Resistant: Forget being bogged down by this common Bio 5 debuff.
  • Self-Sufficient: No need to rely on party buffs - you control your own momentum.

Keeping Up with the Pack:

Maintain the buff constantly (except with Guyak Pudding) and watch yourself effortlessly match other tanks' stride. Couple it with Halter Lead for maximum swiftness and become a truly mobile bulwark.

Stacking Strategies:

Remember, the buff works like Increase Agility in terms of stacking:

  • Doesn't stack with itself.
  • Stacks with Halter Lead, but not Wind Walk, Speed Potions, or Guyak Pudding.
{{#skill:5049}} Grooming
  • Max Level: 5

  • [Lv 5] : +100 Flee, Duration 7 seconds.
 While not a core component of every Doram's arsenal, "Grooming" offers valuable utility in specific situations. Let's explore its strengths and limitations to determine its potential usefulness.

Curative Capabilities:

Grooming primarily shines as a status effect cleanser. Unlike most healing skills, it bypasses certain limitations, allowing its use even on silenced or frozen allies (excluding "Frozen"). This makes it effective for countering:

  • Fear: A debilitating mental debuff crippling your allies' combat effectiveness.
  • Freezing: A temporary immobility effect hindering movement and attacks.
  • Mandragora Howling: A fear-inducing AoE debuff often encountered in certain areas.

Fleeting FLEE Boost:

Grooming grants a temporary +100 FLEE buff, potentially helpful in dodging attacks. Unfortunately, the effectiveness of FLEE diminishes rapidly against large mobs due to the "mob penalty" reducing its impact. This relegates the buff to niche situations where dodging a few key attacks can make a difference.

Considerations and Usage:

  • Skill Level: Maxing Grooming is optional, prioritizing levels based on its individual usefulness for your playst yle.
  • Strategic Deployment: Grooming shines in areas where specific status effects like Fear or Freezing pose threats.
  • Alternative Options: Consider carrying potions or utilizing complementary skills for a more versatile approach to status effects.

  • SP Cost: 75 - (5 x Skill Level)
  • Fixed Cast Time: 1.0s
  • Cast Delay: 1.0s
  • Cool Down: 70.0s - (5.0s x Skill Level)
 Heals everyone with a pleasant sound.

Applies the effects of  Grooming to your entire party.

  • [Lv 1] : +100 Flee, Duration 7 seconds.
  • [Lv 2] : +100 Flee, Duration 9 seconds.
  • [Lv 3] : +100 Flee, Duration 11 seconds.
  • [Lv 4] : +100 Flee, Duration 13 seconds.
  • [Lv 5] : +100 Flee, Duration 15 seconds.
 Suggested Level: 5

Usually somewhat more valuable than Grooming. It has more or less the same impact, but works on the whole party, and has slightly longer length but too longer CD. It is more valuable since you'll really utilize the expertise whereas your partners are beneath status impacts but not you. But the long CD is making it very difficult to utilize. Besides, it's decent to be beyond any doubt merely have typically in your unit.

Doram Tank Gear Guide: Prioritizing Your Defenses

Before diving into specific equipment recommendations, let's establish the key stats we're aiming for as a Doram Tank:

1. Maximizing HP:

  • High VIT and Bonus Max HP%: Maximize your core HP pool as it directly buffs both {{#skill:5039}} Tuna Party and self-cast {{#skill:5038}} Tuna Belly. Remember, Dorams boast the highest base HP in the game!
  • Every bit counts: Prioritize gear with HP or HP% bonuses whenever possible.

2. Building Robust Defenses:

  • Damage reduction: aim for a solid blend of DEF and MDEF for all-around protection. Every 400 DEF/100 MDEF translates roughly to 100% more effective HP against physical and magical attacks.
  • Resistance: Class, size, racial, elemental resistances further enhance your tankiness against specific threats. These effects stack multiplicatively, making them highly valuable.
  • Full tank vs. Support tank: As a full tank, prioritize all defenses equally. Support tanks can prioritize HP and general damage reduction while considering resistance depending on team needs.

3. Optimizing {{#skill:5039}} Tuna Party:

  • Cooldown reduction: Aim for at least 14.0s reduction for spamming level 1 {{#skill:5039}} Tuna Party or 18.0s for level 2 (support tanks). Full tanks can benefit from 12 to 20.0s, depending on playstyle.
  • Fixed Cast Time (FCT) reduction: Essential for support tanks who spam {{#skill:5038}} Tuna Belly. Aim for a 1.0s reduction, while full tanks should strive for at least 0.5s.

4. Enabling Efficient Self-Healing:

  • After Cast Delay (ACD) reduction: Crucial for reliable self-healing with level 2 {{#skill:5038}} Tuna Belly. Support tanks require at least 56% reduction to reach 86% with Bard buffs. Full tanks can benefit highly from high ACD reduction but may prioritize other stats depending on their playstyle.
  • Attack Speed: Helpful for faster skill casts but harder to acquire on tank gear. Consider Wanderer's Swing Dance buff or Awakening Potions to supplement.

Gear Progression:

While this guide focuses on late-game builds, early options exist:

  • Doram Elegant/Luxury sets: Great starting point for budget-conscious tanking.
  • Unrefined/unenchanted Illusion Goibne's set: Provides a solid foundation for gradual upgrades.

Summoner (Doram)

The Temporal Circlet might seem like a DPS headgear at first glance, but there's a hidden perk for Doram Tanks! While expensive, it offers access to a unique enchant: Adamantine Lv 5.

Now, why is this important? As a dedicated Doram Tank, you don't have dedicated Bio 5 headgear options. The Temporal Circlet becomes the lone gateway to obtaining Adamantine, an enchant that significantly boosts your DEF and MDEF for ultimate defense.

However, let's be honest: this helmet costs a pretty penny. It's definitely a "luxury pick" for tanks who are already well-equipped and want to push their defenses to the absolute limit.

But let's imagine you're rolling in Zeny and aiming for the ultimate tanking crown:

  • Refine it to +11: This unlocks its full potential for defense buffs.
  • Enchant it strategically:
    • VIT+4: More HP for extra durability on the frontlines.
    • Temporal Jewel (Vit) Lv. 3: Even more HP!
    • Temporal Jewel (Agi) Lv. 3: Increased FLEE for dodging nasty blows.
    • The star of the show: Adamantine Lv 5: This legendary enchant grants a massive DEF and MDEF boost, making you a true wall against enemies.

Remember, while powerful, the Temporal Circlet is a late-game investment. If you're just starting out as a Doram Tank, there are more budget-friendly options that offer great value for your Zeny. However, if you're a seasoned tank seeking the ultimate upgrade, the Temporal Circlet, perfectly enchanted, can be your crown jewel of defense!

  • Defense you can count on: The damage reduction helps you stay in the thick of the fight, protecting your party like a true leader.

This armor gives you a solid HP base and defense while giving you some edge in your attacks and skill casts. But its true power lies in enchantments!

  • Balanced approach: It offers a good mix of stats, making you both tough and efficient in your tanking duties.
  • Budget-friendly: You can refine it to an affordable level depending on your needs, making it easier to customize on a budget.

Things to remember:

  • While versatile, it might not be the absolute best in terms of pure HP or overall defense compared to other top-tier armors.
  • Its set bonus is decent, but other sets might offer more raw power depending on your playstyle.
  • This armor shines when you strategically choose enchants based on specific enemies you plan to encounter.

This awesome card helps you achieve with its unique combo effect. Here's the cool part: almost all the monsters you'll face early on are just average size, making this card super effective!
  • Crowd Control: This card reduces damage specifically from medium-sized enemies, which are the majority you'll fight.
  • Stacking Power: Pair it with other cards like the Khalitzburg Knight Card that also offer size resistance. The more you stack these effects, the less damage you take, making you incredibly tough!
  • Early Game Hero: This card shines especially in places like Bio 5, where facing large groups of medium-sized monsters is common.

Remember: While powerful against groups, this card might not be the best against bosses or large enemies. Think of it as your go-to tool for crowd control!

Marc Card (4105)

Monster drop Prevents Frozen status.

Decreases damage taken from Water elemental attacks by 5%.

_______________________

Type: Card

Compound on: Armor

Weight: 1

It grants you immunity to Freeze and even reduces water damage.
  • Ice Age Alert: If you find yourself facing enemies who love spamming freeze attacks, this card becomes your best friend. Think of it as an anti-freeze shield, keeping you unfazed in the most chilling battles.
  • Independent Doram: Sometimes, support teammates might be busy, unable to immediately help you thaw out. This card empowers you to handle freeze situations on your own, making you a more self-sufficient tank.
  • Double Defense: Not only does it prevent freeze, but it also reduces water damage! It's like wearing a double layer of defense against icy attacks.

Remember: While the Marc Card is great for specific situations, it might not be your go-to option against all enemies. Other cards might offer broader protection.

Type: Card

Compound on: Weapon

Weight: 1

Imagine taking 5% less damage from almost every monster you encounter. That's what this awesome card helps you achieve! Here's the trick: it works best when paired with another special card called the Khalitzburg Knight Card already equipped on your shield.
  • Double Defense Boost: Combine it with the Khalitzburg Knight Card on your shield, and you unlock a hidden bonus - 5% damage reduction against most monsters in the game! Think of it as a double layer of protection, making you incredibly tough.
  • Easy to Find: Compared to some rare cards, the White Knight Card is more readily available, making it easier to start building your defensive power.
  • Straightforward Benefit: No complicated mechanics or confusing effects here. This card simply helps you take less damage, allowing you to focus on protecting your party.

Remember: While powerful in combination, the White Knight Card alone doesn't offer the full defense boost. But don't worry, the Khalitzburg Knight Card is also beginner-friendly!

Pro Tip: Equip both the White Knight Card and the Khalitzburg Knight Card for ultimate defense against those big baddies!

Type: Card

  • Peace of Mind: Don't want to sweat about a broken weapon messing with your defense? This card prevents it, ensuring you always get the full benefit of your weapon's stats and any defensive cards attached.
  • Defensive Focus: If you prioritize pure tankiness and minimizing any potential risks, this card can be a solid choice for added security.

But here's what to consider:

  • Summoner's Weapon Flexibility: Remember, most Summoner skills don't rely on your weapon itself. So, a broken weapon doesn't directly impact your ability to tank or use key skills.
  • Opportunity Cost: Other cards might offer more impactful benefits like increased HP, damage reduction, or elemental resistances. Weigh the pros and cons based on your playstyle and needs.

  • Focus on Protection: As a support tank, your main job is keeping others safe. This card lets you do that even more effectively, without needing high attack stats. Think of it as trading punches for shields!
  • Personal Playstyle: This card might not be for everyone, but if you like the fast-paced, shield-slinging support style, it's a fun and effective option.

Remember: While the Dancing Marionette Card offers speed, it does sacrifice some attack power.

  • Max HP Boost: This shield boasts the highest Max HP among its peers, making you incredibly tough and able to withstand more punishment. Think of it as a thicker health bar for ultimate protection!
  • Stamina Nive Power: Like many Illusion items, it comes with slots for Stamina Nive Lv 2 enchants. These beauties let you cast your skills more often, including your crucial Tuna Party shield.
  • Simple and Effective: No need for complicated mechanics or confusing effects. This shield focuses on what truly matters: keeping you and your team in the fight.

Things to remember:

  • While powerful in terms of HP and stamina efficiency, it might offer less Attack Critical Delay (ACD) reduction compared to some other shields. Choose what suits your needs: pure tankiness or a mix of defense and offensive support.
  • This shield shines especially for supporting Doram's playstyle, but it's still a solid option for any tank that values high HP and frequent skill casts.

Pro Tip: Refine your Illusion Silver Guard to +11 for maximum Max HP and don't forget those Stamina Nive Lv 2 enchants.

Remember the standard Khalitzburg Knight Card? This one takes it a step further, trading physical defense for powerful magic defense (+10 MDEF). Think of it as a magical shield for when fireballs and spells start flying!
  • Magic Mayhem: Facing off against mages and magical monsters? This card provides targeted protection against their attacks, making you significantly tougher in those specific situations.
  • Advanced Investment: This card is more expensive than the basic Khalitzburg Knight Card and requires the rarer Mutated White Knight Card for the full size resistance bonus. Consider if it fits your budget and playstyle.
  • Strategic Choice: This card excels in specific encounters, not as an all-around solution. Consider it a powerful tool for your magic-defense arsenal.

Remember: While strong against magic, it offers less physical defense than the standard Khalitzburg Knight Card. Choose the card that best suits the threats you face most often.

  • End-Game Power: At higher levels, many areas feature primarily boss-type enemies. This card shines there, helping you tank those encounters more effectively.
  • Strategic Choice: Remember, resistance types stack additively. This card is most valuable when combined with other defensive strategies against bosses, not as a general solution.

But there are things to consider:

  • Rarity: This card is harder to find compared to others, so weigh its benefit against its availability.
  • Niche Use: While powerful against bosses, it might not be as useful in everyday situations with various enemy types. Consider it a specialized tool for your tanking arsenal.
  • Mixing It Up: Remember, stacking the same type of resistance (like size or race) is usually more effective than mixing different types. Choose wisely based on the enemy you're facing.

_______________________

Type: Card

Compound on: Shield

Weight: 1

Taking reduced damage from almost all monsters, big or small! That's what this card helps you achieve with its balanced size resistance. Think of it as an all-terrain shield, offering protection in various situations.
  • Size Doesn't Matter: Unlike the Khalitzburg Knight Card, this card protects you against both medium and small monsters, making it useful against a wider range of enemies. No need to switch cards depending on the foe!
  • Bonus Dodge: The chance to trigger Perfect Dodge +30 when attacked can be a lifesaver, especially when facing hordes of enemies.
  • Flexible Choice: This card offers a good balance between size resistance and the bonus dodge, making it a solid choice for those who don't want to specialize in specific enemy types.

But here's what to keep in mind:

  • Less Reduction: It offers slightly less damage reduction compared to the Khalitzburg Knight Card combo against medium and large monsters. Consider if the wider size coverage and dodge chance outweigh the lower reduction for your playstyle.
  • Not the Ultimate: While versatile, it might not be the absolute best option against specific enemy types where other cards offer more targeted protection.

  • Attack Critical Delay (ACD) Reduction: At +9 refine, the YSF01 Manteau reduces your ACD by a whopping 17%. Think of it as speeding up your reactions, letting you cast shields and abilities quicker to protect your allies.
  • Standalone Power: Unlike other YSF01 pieces, this mantle works well on its own, without needing the full set for its benefits. Perfect for tanks who prefer flexibility!
  • Early Advantage: This armor is obtainable and refines well at lower levels, making it a good choice to kickstart your tanking journey with swiftness.

Things to remember:

  • While it boosts speed, this armor doesn't offer the highest base defense compared to some other options. Choose what suits you best: faster reactions or pure tankiness.
  • This might not be the best fit for endgame content where pure defense becomes more crucial.

Pro Tip: Refine your YSF01 Manteau to +9 to unlock its full ACD reduction potential.

Type: Card

Compound on: Garment

  • Neutralizes the Norm: Did you know most monsters rely on Neutral-element damage in their normal attacks and many skills? This card acts like a magic shield, reducing that damage and making you significantly tougher.
  • Simple and Effective: No need to worry about complicated mechanics or remembering specific resistances. This card offers straightforward protection against a wide range of threats.
  • Beginner-Friendly: It's relatively easy to find and doesn't require expensive upgrades, making it a solid choice as you start your tanking journey.

Remember: While powerful, the Raydric Card might not be the best against enemies who use specific elements like Fire or Ice. Consider other options if you face those types of foes more often.

  • Attack Critical Delay (ACD) Reduction: This card provides some ACD reduction, helping you react quicker and toss those tunas before enemies land their attacks. Think of it as a slight boost to your shield-slinging reflexes.
  • Attack Speed Boost: It also offers a small Attack Speed increase, allowing you to throw out more tunas in a shorter time. Perfect for those intense moments where your party needs constant protection.
  • Niche Strategy: This card shines for players who focus heavily on using the Tunas skill. If you prefer other defensive strategies, other options might be more suitable.

Things to remember:

  • This card's benefits are targeted towards Tuna spam.
  • The ACD reduction and ASPD boost are relatively small, so consider if they fit your playstyle and resource availability.

  • Stamina Nive Power: These leg protectors have slots for Stamina Nive Lv 2 enchants, the ultimate fuel for your dodges and skill casts.

  • Set Bonus Synergy: Pair these greaves with other Illusion Goibne pieces for an even bigger set bonus, further enhancing your stamina efficiency and defense.

Things to remember:

  • While powerful for mobility and skill casts, these greaves might not offer the highest base defense compared to some other options. Consider what suits you best: agility and efficiency or pure defensive stats.
  • This armor shines especially for the Illusion Goibne's Set bonus, so make sure you have other pieces to unlock its full potential.

  • Ultimate Casting Speed: With the Fixed Casting (FCT) enchant, the Automatic Leg reduces your casting time by a significant amount, potentially even allowing instant casts of {{#skill:5038}} Tuna Belly. Think of it as a magic switch, letting you unleash shields faster than ever before.
  • Balanced Protection: Don't worry, speed doesn't mean sacrificing everything! This leg offers decent defense stats along with the FCT slot, making you a well-rounded protector.
  • Flexible Choice: Unlike some FCT options, the Automatic Leg doesn't require specific set bonuses, giving you freedom to mix and match your gear. Find the perfect combo that fits your playstyle!

Things to remember:

  • While powerful for Tuna Bellies, this leg might not be the absolute best in terms of pure defense compared to some other options. Consider what suits you best: instant shields or maximum tankiness.
  • Achieving 1.0s casting time for instant {{#skill:5038}} Tuna Belly requires specific enchants and potentially other gear choices. Research and experimentation are key!

Pro Tip: Refine your Automatic Leg to +11 and use the Fixed Casting (FCT) enchant. Consider Robust for defense or Vital/Unlimited Vital for added HP depending on your needs.

Remember:

  • These boots alone don't offer the highest base defense compared to other options. Their true power lies in the set bonus and early-game accessibility.
  • Consider your long-term goals: if you prioritize pure tankiness, other boots might be more effective in the endgame.

Pro Tip: Combine the Clergy Boots with the Vit Soutane and refine them both to maximize the set bonus.

Things to remember:

  • These boots alone don't offer the highest base defense compared to other options. Their true power lies in the set bonus and the flexibility of their enchants.

Requirement:

Summoner (Doram)

  • Ultimate Tuna Boost: Wearing two Cute Grass Necklaces can completely remove the cooldown of your level 1 {{#skill:5039}} Tuna Party skill! That's right, instant shields whenever your allies need them most.
  • Level Up Your Tuna: Not just for beginners, it also significantly reduces the cooldown of your higher level {{#skill:5039}} Tuna Party skills. With the right setup, you can have your level 5 {{#skill:5039}} Tuna Party ready almost instantly!
  • Combo Power: Pair it with other gear like the Automatic Module (Power of Sea) to unlock even more cooldown reduction, making you the ultimate tuna-tossing protector.

Things to remember:

  • While powerful for {{#skill:5039}} Tuna Party, this necklace might not be the best choice if you focus on other defensive tactics.
  • It shines the most when paired with specific equipment, so make sure you have the right setup to maximize its potential.

Pro Tip: Combine two Cute Grass Necklaces with Automatic Module (Power of Sea) and refine the armor for maximum effect.

Base Level 100

Summoner (Doram)

  • Bonus Auto-Shields: This talisman has a chance to automatically cast {{#skill:5039}} Tuna Party on you whenever you take damage. Think of it as a magical backup, constantly adding extra layers of protection.
  • No Cooldown Worries: Even if your main {{#skill:5039}} Tuna Party skill is busy, the auto-shields from this amulet can still activate, giving you uninterrupted defense.
  • Strategic Choice: While not the biggest cooldown reduction, this amulet offers a different style of defense, especially valuable for Doram Tanks who like to maximize protection. Pair it with other gear for a truly layered defense!

Things to remember:

  • This amulet's auto-shields work best when you actively engage enemies, taking some damage to trigger them. They won't refresh existing {{#skill:5039}} Tuna Party shields.
  • While powerful for strategic defense, it might not offer the pure cooldown reduction of other options.
  • It shines in specific builds, so research and experiment to find your perfect defensive style.

Pro Tip: Combine the Fresh Tuna Talisman with other defensive gear and consider pairing it with one Cute Grass Necklace for a balanced approach.

Doram Tanking 101: Be the Party's Bulwark!

Hey, new Doram Tanks, ready to shield your allies and become the heart of the party? This guide will walk you through the basics of Doram tanking, helping you become a wall your teammates can rely on!

Your Battle Position:

Think of yourself as the centerpiece of the party, right in the middle of the action. From here, you can keep an eye on everyone and react quickly.

Protecting the Vulnerable:

Your primary focus is shielding party members without shields or magic classes, who are typically weaker. Be their guardian angel!

Shielding Savvy:

  • Proactive Protection: Cast shields before combat starts to give everyone a head start.
  • Shield Refresh: Top up shields if you see teammates taking damage. Remember, prevention is better than cure!
  • Tank Support: When the main tank is struggling, prioritize shielding them to keep the party safe.
  • Strategic Shielding: For other allies, only shield them if they're facing multiple enemies and are in danger. Prioritize keeping the whole party alive, not just individuals.

Skillful Survival:

  • {{#skill:5038}} Tuna Belly: Your bread and butter shield! Use it generously to protect your comrades.
  • Ygg Seed: A secondary option for HP and SP recovery when {{#skill:5038}} Tuna Belly is on cooldown.
  • Arclouse Dash: Your escape card! Use it to dodge undispellable debuffs that slow you down.
  • Shrimp Buffs: Keep "Bunch of Shrimp" and "Tasty Shrimp Party" active for added defense and buffs.
  • {{#skill:5022}} Stoop: When facing many enemies, activate {{#skill:5022}} "Stoop" to reduce damage and make your shields even more effective.
  • Lope: If swarmed, use "Lope" to run away. When possible, find cover near walls or corners to avoid knockbacks.
  • Personal Buffs: "Purring" and "Grooming" can cleanse certain debuffs on yourself, but their cooldown is too long for frequent party support.

Remember:

  • Practice makes perfect! Experiment and find what works best for you.
  • Communication is key! Let your party know your strategies and rely on their support.
  • Have fun! Being a Doram Tank is a rewarding role, so enjoy protecting your allies and being the hero of the team!

This guide provides a starting point, but remember, the journey of a Doram Tank is ongoing. As you gain experience, you'll develop your own strategies and become an even more formidable protector!
