Has anyone run them together successfully?
see NightStrike's The Iconics 3e
What do you mean by run them together successfully? Do you mean a UC tank as in it uses a strong ranged weapon and fights with UC in melee or do you mean 2 minions one being a UC tank and the other being a tank as well?

Yeah thats basically it.
Using the Monk almost as an evasion wall, and a ToA tank, both of them having ranged and melee.
VA is figuring high on my shopping list, as is EC, so probably an enchanter there as well at the back to take MM.
I've got a bit of cash (CBD - not real unfortunately) and some half-decent weapons already, so I'm hoping that I'll have enough to make a serious effort.
Actually, that's a thought - any clans out there want to take a punt on leting me in - I'll have 1600BA on Saturday to spend :-)

Several people - myself included have done a variation of what you're suggesting using a Jiggy. It works very well that way, because you can do it with two minions and create bigger stats thanks to not having to spread the XP so thinly.

Or, have your UC tank junction its armor capabilities to the Jig. Monk/Jig/Tank-team? Maybe it's better to have an enchanter though, but it's a thought.

Our clan has an opening - and you don't even have to ask-- just join. !
I don't see why the 2 minion UC - Tank idea wouldn't work. may need a few enchanter spells to help - but that shocking grasp or just plain UC with a Gi and a few other gear are pretty powerful. you may want a named bow and archer for a while.. that works well at knocking out teams early.

JW / Indy - cheers, but I want a ToA tank as main damage dealer.
TBH I'm not sure this UC thing wasn't distracting me - he started as a wall but mutated ;-)
hmmm - need to think, but t(h)anks Raptor for the clan thing

UC will be your key to the earlier levels, as it tends to be quite slaughterous (yes i made up a word there) at low levels due to the way UC effect goes up with Gi and Helm's Gauntlets. Later down the road would be a typical tanks time to shine, as the damage from UC later on leaves plenty to be desired (at which point it mutates into an evasion wall with some damage capability).

Cheers Hatchy :-)
So, looks like despite my best intentions to the contrary, I'll be running a monk again :-)
