That's it?
And I have seen many threads that say nothing...
Beckon at the wall, and stomp into the wall. Stomp so that enemies stick together, don't disperse them.
In AO3, you might have a hard time.. I can't tank at all due to low frame rate. Steph saw the result today...
Beckon at the wall, while running to the right or left side so the mobs follow you (I find it works better this way) . Let the Mages do and birds do damage and then STOMP when the mobs are about to die. If you see the mobs are frozen, you should stomp because it causes the "Shatter" combo. If you need me to show you in game what to do add "Undertanker" who is my lvl 55 bear. GL :)
Edit- Taunt is your friend, it gives you aggro :)
Lol, I gues he meant to ask why people don't like stomping bears.Quote:

I don't remember who said it first, but every bear should remember it: 'The wall is your friend' :)
well a bear should stomp! and the issue is normally that when a bear stomps he can scatter the bad guys all over the place... the idea is to pull them to a wall or corner - beckon - then as the are stacked up on the wall or corner take a step back and stomp them ...
i will say this tho - for every one who doesnt like the bears to stomp they need to realize it is normally the higest damage dealer we have, even if we stomp and scatter bad guys we will take a good protion of thier life and make it eaiser for all to kill them.
that being said - another time to becareful not to stomp or to stomp "carfully" is against some bosses. you dont want to be stomping a boss all over the place when your fighting crew has to chase them all over the room to do damage.
In AO2, I used a Iceberg Long and was able to take 70-100% of the mob's health. If it didn't K/O, I'd walk on to the next mob, because they'd be low enough for any character to easily finish them off. In other places, like certain mobs in AO3, you need to stay with the group a bit longer to tank. I think that question is more situation specific.
lmao someone should make a in depth guide on "how to stomp"
Feel free to add my toons. I'm a pretty decent tank (at least I think I am :) ), and would be happy to show you a thing or two :)Quote:

As soon as the mobs die, or right before I take off for the next group. It's always best to have a small head start :)Quote:

Now, sometimes you can't find a wall, like in the first part of Alien Oasis, and for that you have to make allowances. I personally stomp when enemies have very low health and beckon in the beginning to get all the enemies together. Just easier for me. But what you want to get used to doing is running through ahead taunting enemies and then beckon them to a wall. I, as a mage, try to keep up and freeze the enemies after beckon for a better damage combo. Then, as a bear after beckon, take a step back and stomp. Keeps everything tight and neat and allows the team to move through the level faster.
After that stomp most bears move on and leave the mages and birds to do clean-up. That's what they're best at since one on one the bear isn't as helpful. Just stomp and beckon and then move one. Also keeps you tanking and stomps the kamikaze mages and birds from dying prematurely.

This is the guide I read when I started playing pocket legends, and I felt it made me a better tank at the time :)

I have ran sewers with 55+ bears who literally stop and when I ask what they are doing, they say they are watching me cause they have never seen a bear control mobs like me. I don't know whether to feel honored or scared! LOLQuote:

Wait is this directed at me? lolQuote:
