'''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.

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.

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.

= 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 Tuna Party and self-cast 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/MDEF for all-around protection. Every 400 DEF/100 MDEF translates roughly to 100% more effective HP against physical/mag and or iattacks.
* '''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 Tuna Party:'''
* '''Cooldown reduction:''' Aim for at least 14.0s reduction for spamming level 1 Tuna Party or 18.0s for level 2 (support tanks). Full tanks can benefit from 12 to 20.0,0s depending on playstyle.
* '''Fixed Cast Time (FCT) reduction:''' Essential for support tanks who spam 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 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.
