Hex.8714 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 So i was looking to make a mes for raids and the usual build is a tank minestrel chrono in pugs. So why I cant find that build on their page? Dont they use any thoughness gear? if so, how do they aggro the bosses? or is there different strat in pugs vs organized grps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tranquillity.8697 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 High end raiding guilds tank with minimal toughness. But feel free to take as much toughness as you want and try to get 80-100% boon duration if you are new to the spec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astralporing.1957 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 There's one on Metabattle, although i don't know how up to date builds on that site currently are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awesumness.1823 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 You may find a lot of useful beginner chrono tips in these videos: [Old minstrel chrono guide]( "Old minstrel chrono guide") and [gearing chrono for W7 progression]( "gearing chrono for W7 progression"). They may have old patch knowledge but they have timeless wisdom :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord of the Fire.6870 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 The problem is you can equip a chrono with ministrel stats but its no longer gives you anything besides a tank. So any class can now fill the spot. We are going with FB as tank because with this equip he can still heal and give some boons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButcherofMalakir.4067 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Because normaly you swap one trinket/infusion to tank. If you need special gear because you cannot survive, then take full minstrel with concentration and transference sigil and rune of the pack. That should be more then enough but if it stil isnt you can run durability or sanctuary runes but your party might lose fury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melandru.3876 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 aslong as you don't listen to the "you can tank without toughness" advice it's fun, seeing the tank fail because there is a fb either support or condi dps https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Imbued_Haste soulbeasts also get increased basic attributes, which includes toughness, when merged so yes as a tank, you do NEED toughness depening on comps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yusayu.3629 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 You generall tank with just 5 more Toughness (1 infusion) than the rest of your party (if you have no condi Weaver). If you wanna learn it, can't go wrong with Mistrel gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is actually also a far more common Firebrand with bursts of increased toughness (250 from trait and potentially an extra 300 from Epilogue UL use) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blood Red Arachnid.2493 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 The logic seems pretty simple here. In a PUG: You'll want as much toughness as possible. So, minstrel or knight gear. In a static or premade: You can coordinate with your teammates, so you'll only need the bare minimum of extra toughness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can block/evade everything anyway so toughness isnt needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
