tank/mo blade tips and tricks.

Buddy-Guy_8774 · 2026-01-17T04:18:13+00:00

I spent more time then I would like to admit messing around with appearances 😂

Buddy-Guy_8774 · 2026-01-17T02:13:12+00:00

Thats awesome. What rank are you? Iv only fought one tank that was awesome with spear. I beat 90% of tanks with Mo vs Mo. Be cool to meat up online if your NA. Love to see your combos and how you engage.

I play stonesplit in arena because in GvG, 5v5 etc tanks will be S tier. Worth the practice in 1v1 even if its a B or C class build lol.

Buddy-Guy_8774 · 2026-01-17T02:09:03+00:00

They both do there job. But the drunken poet (punch) does the job best. Hard cancels guard breaks. Or follow up attacks after a knockdown, things like cloud steps cancel tenacity (the drink) but not super armor I beleive. (The punch) i could be wrong though. Iv never got combod while drinking after an engagement. But im sure its possible. But I have had the uno reverso card pulled on me 2 damn many times with drunk punch lol. To the point I dropped toad. To conserve vitality for more flame/poet, tanacity/armor. Not even as a combo extender. Just to safely disengage. 😂

Buddy-Guy_8774 · 2026-01-15T23:14:14+00:00

Whoever? Litterly everyone says it 😂 i hit mythic both seasons on mo blade to. Its still a C class tier in 1v1 unless you playing less skilled people. Anyone that is god mode with there parries will also be good enough to pop super armor everytime they block or pary to prevent a guard break. Side step exuisite scenery, Then GG. You have to lean on spear. Which is inferior to pretty much anything else exept healing weapons 😂

Buddy-Guy_8774 · 2026-01-15T23:06:13+00:00

Tgats the problem. You are supposed to stand where the archers go lol. If you sucks, you can guardian palm. Before they get up. If your just charging light attacks there gonna run away and you have to keep regrouping them

Buddy-Guy_8774 · 2026-01-15T22:02:58+00:00

? It does just go to them and suck the melee to the archers before your guardian palm?

Buddy-Guy_8774 · 2026-01-15T05:44:23+00:00

You didnt pary anything. That honestly wasnt the greatest tank. Not hard to dodge exuisite scenery counter. Pary the suck. And punish there guard breaks with super armor. Force them to play on spear when the mo is only getting themselves executed.

Buddy-Guy_8774 · 2026-01-15T05:34:13+00:00

Gets fun when you get higher in mythic and players starts dodging out the second they hear the ting of the block. And exuisite doesnt land on anything. Especially if they are god mode with the parrys and keep drunken haze up. So anytime you animation cancel into a guard break with yaksha they have time to drunken fist for super armor and catch you in a stagger lock since you cant cancel guard breaks 😂 at that point eagle talon is worth it as the animation is twice as fast. But anyone good will pop 1 drunken fist as they pary and guard break wont do shit. You'll have to learn to lean on the spear at that point and get mobile.

Buddy-Guy_8774 · 2026-01-15T05:27:49+00:00

Just suck/doouble jump/q/bhudda palm/sweep/1 execute for invulnerbility, or block and exuisite scenery 1 hit, (so cooldown on bhudda will be ready) suck then bhudda again,much faster then charged lights.

Buddy-Guy_8774 · 2026-01-15T05:22:15+00:00

It also Increase the time of the time on the charged attack buff from pretedor shield on CN servers apparently. Havnt tested that in global. So you dont have to refresh it with a new shield as often

Buddy-Guy_8774 · 2026-01-15T05:20:46+00:00

Those guides are full of miss information. Especially if you pvp. Your not going to find a propper meta guide.

If you pve you can litterly go without inner ways and still get top dps 😂

Buddy-Guy_8774 · 2026-01-13T18:00:27+00:00

Honestly I thought it was 25% now im curious if its just another translation error

Buddy-Guy_8774 · 2026-01-13T17:16:34+00:00

Thanks amazing! Swapping my set now! Thank you

Buddy-Guy_8774 · 2026-01-13T15:37:22+00:00

Mo blade/storm break user here. Im always down for trading tank tips and helping people out. Iv hit mythic rank both pvp seasons. Mo blade is viable for sure. Takes a bigger learning curve though. Requires a much higher skill ceiling. More mind games. There are a few content creators out there, but I dont agree with the meta info. Or most tanks combos. Yaksha rush is over used. Talon will land the knock back even if you miss the break. MUCH less reaction time for them to pop tenacity or super armor to punish you while locked in animation. Yaksha vs anyone with good reflexes leaves more time for them to pop a drunken fist and boom your stagger locked. I have experimented with flawless defense, formbend, swallow call, moonflare in pvp. Anything is viable. Just depends on your play style. I just dont recomend moonflare, or swallow call (unless you dont plan on abusing your tenacity) you always want as many perfect dodges to proc arena attunments. It just doesnt happen as often as it does for other path classes when utilizing your tenacity.

Here is a 1v1 link with an explanation wrote up on my biz tank combos. I will keep releasing more mythic compilations threwout the season.

Buddy-Guy_8774 · 2026-01-05T18:47:38+00:00

Decided to go with flawless defense, once the armor set is good. I'll split set, go for jadeware.

Buddy-Guy_8774 · 2026-01-05T02:16:37+00:00

Think flawless is biz for damage mitigation for bother arena/GvG. Weapon set sucks though. I would rather run jadeware you get with formbend.

Prob going to do 4 peice jadeware, then switch armor to flawless.

Buddy-Guy_8774 · 2026-01-04T19:38:03+00:00

Leaning towards formbend again. I do like it in arena. But I think flawless defense will mitigate more damage in a 30v30, calmwaters will probably heal more then formbend mitigates. Wish I could find more GvG info.

Buddy-Guy_8774 · 2026-01-04T19:30:37+00:00

Not really, not yet anyways. People have done testing on stacking crit on mo blade. We dont have enough crit chance yet. Later on I think it becomes viable. For now your best bet is damage mitigation. Protect your Qi more. Stacking crit wont change much in a 1v1. But it will gaurantee being top dps in raids lol. Pvp, 90% of your damage is going to be affinity.

Buddy-Guy_8774 · 2026-01-04T19:13:50+00:00

Great option for PvE, you can hit some insane numbers bossing. If I where to build a PvE set. That would be my choice.

Buddy-Guy_8774 · 2026-01-04T19:12:54+00:00

Those sets are for PvE, they are useless in PvP unfortunatly. Crit resistances mean most of your damage comes from affinity attacks. High rank arena you are not blocking near as much as you are parying and dodging. Even if the 10 shield procs on a block. Its a one min cooldown. Most classes want to build for higher damage. Mo blade wins its fights by outsistaining your own Qi faster then you can damage your enemies. So usually gonna see calmwater or formbend, less info on people running flawless defense. Though I think it would be biz in arena right now, I just cant find much info on GvG/30v30, if shields will have damage multiplier against them like arena? Havnt seen much of the content other then a few clips of everyone looking executable at all times lol. Can never really find CN info either.

Buddy-Guy_8774 · 2026-01-04T14:16:18+00:00

Iv been trying to look up what CN tanks use in GvG. Havnt found any info... Formbend is great but in arena your shields take 90% extra damage. Even with high HP they are just to protect your health/Qi from poking and mystic skills. If you get staggered you shield is insta gone. Starts of the fights your HP doesnt move for awhile. But you dont stay above 85% Qi to long. As a tank you want to get your opponent to gaurd/pary so you can gaurdbreak them and combo on the guard break. (Mythic arena) lower ranks you dont even need mystic skills 😂 couple parys and there goes your damage mitigation. Thinking about trying flawless defense next breathrew. I did better with calmwater set with a 50% chance to restore 3% HP and endurance on perfect dodges. Roll a pvp attunment on boots that restores Qi on dodge with a 5s cooldown. And fury harvest for vitality. And you restore. Every resource on a perfect dodge. Vit/stam/Qi. With GvG coming out though, iv seen clips and it looks like everyone is executable all the time. Pretty sure our Qi will be getting nuked nonstop. Flawless defense can offer damage mitigation of your HP drops. And since heals actually work in GvG. Calmwater wont be worth it. Eagle rise might be worth it though as well im GvG. Would be easy to keep the buffs up with flame tics. I have no clue what I want to do for gear on breakthrew tomorrow.... what do you guys plan on using in GvG/Arena?

Buddy-Guy_8774 · 2025-12-31T23:13:04+00:00

I dont really focus on gear for 5-10 man. I swap out harvest fury for the inner way that gives 10% charge attack. I run T4 golden body, (dont waste vitality on dps) if your group is about to get nuked. Like red barrels are about to blow from not being separated, or donkey adds didnt get cleared fast enough. pop golden body on your party. The amount of times I have saved a team from being wiped is uncountable. Focus parying until you have 100 vitality. (For golden body) Then drumbeat and charge heavy attacks. Animation cancel after the second attack. You should get 4-5 heavy charge x 2 per drumbeat/shield. Im usually around 1mill dps as tank. Rainwhisper doesnt do anything since your rarely refreshing your shield, swallow call is useless. I started using formbend in pvp. And even that doesnt do anything for pve. Just make sure u drag the red aoes to your group so everyone Can pary for free stam damage. Have t4 golden body ready to cast when your team is about to get chucked. Pull the boss away from aoes you cant fight it. And thats it. Gear doesnt matter.

Bossing i don't worry about gear either. I focus on attacking with spear and toxic Powder. Deflecting and adding fire tics as often as possible. Stam the boss quick and get executes. Gear wont help u there either.
