Potd team without tanks

[Iwox]

Hello everyone, sorry for my bad English i'm French .

 

After my POTD run i want to try it with 0 real tanks (if possible ; one is ok) and 3/4 off tanks.
 

I don't want to use all the same class as my first game who were :

Chanter tank

Fighter tank

2H barb

Range Cypher

Range Drood

Range Rogue

 

I want to use for my new game :

Paladin support/tank (maybe the only one with shield)

Monk dual weapons

Barb dual weapons (or just one to max crit with better accuracy)

Ranger

Priest

 

As last character i don't know what to take to be orignal.

I wanna use a 2H weapon if i can, but 4 non-ranged characters seems to be not viable at all. I'm thinking about an offensive/tanky 2H fighter, could be fun.

I don't really want to use a ranger Cypher, maybe a rogue because i love them or a sorcerer to change.

 

What do you think my team needs to play with only Offtanks or just one tank ?

Wich specs are better to not being one shotted and do damages with all characters ?

 

Thx for helping, i really want to have fun with another way than the classic Tank/Dps game in POTD.

I managed to beat POTD with a paladin as my only tank, and a barbarian in medium plate, who barely qualified as off-tank. Just support the paladin with a cipher (painblock) and make him a pale elf, and you´re immortal to almost anything.

but but.... paladins.... they are bad? no? i read it on forums , ./sarcasm off , 

With Pala Monk and Barb you will have decent front line tbh and eventho only pala is real tank here monk and barb can hold their own quite well so you should be fine , also consider turning your priest into more cleric'ish character that can protect back line if mobs get trough , for the last char in your party i suggest either Ranged Rogue ( Marksman with debuffs ) or a Gunner ( Micromanagement heavy but 3-4 blunderbuss quick switch+Penetrating Shot+Envenomed strike is real deal , thats like few wizards insta dead in enemy team )
