Strat Help and ToA/UC gear comparison (in General)

Currently I'm playing as an UC tank team, and been using RoE for a while, but I'm wondering should I use ToA or other tattoos when I decided to stop using RoE ? Also, I've got a question about ToA or Combat Gi + Elven Cloak, which one is better for UC tank ? I started out as 3 minion team, so basically all the minions almost have the same exp which means low str and dex, and pretty low HP too. That's why I thought that ToA would be far more useful than maybe an increase of 10-15 UC, especially after the damage change.

My choice of tattoos would be ToA or RoS, I don't really want to use ToE because it seems so useless against mages, I know this because I used to kill all the tank ToE teams (except the one that use Mgs, Tsa, AMF, ToE combo) and this was some real tanks, not UC tanks.

This is my stats currently

With a UC tank as your only damage dealer, I would definitely go with the TOA over regular UC gear. You can then pump the majority of your XP into UC, which would make up for the loss of bonus to level that a Gi & EC would provide, and the magic penalties from a Gi wouldn't mess with your AMF. If you had another damage dealer (tank or DD mage), then I would say go with an RoS on the AS enchanter & regular UC gear...

Id suggest ToA, because later on you can always change your mind and unlearn UC ;)

Perhaps you should reconsider your fight order? The AoI you have on the 2nd minion isn't being used at the moment... maybe nest your tank in between the two enchanters and have the AoI on the foremost minion. That way theres some protection from both Decay and MM, but you would still get use of the evasion benefit from UC.

ToA for sure. You can pump xp into the UC weapon and HP. And you get the PTH bonus to the weapon as well.

The UC weapon to be really useful, especially if it's your main damage dealer, has to be pumped the same way you would pump a DD spell.

Ambidextrous, I was using AoI for my UC tank, but I found that sometimes I lose to teams that have combination of UC tank or evasion Tank + mages, the tank kill both my enchanters fast, and my UC tank missed the evasion tank all the time or most of the time, leaving their mages to kill my UC tank. I'm still trying to figure out the best minion order currently.
