    Hi,
    Looking for some advice/pointers/tips!
    My friends and I have been trying out the Bastion - mostly to try and complete Ritsy's quest line for the hat.
    We are:
    Me (90 monk) - tank
    Gear - http://everquest2.com/Mistmoore/Adelea/
    Spec - http://www.beetny.com/eq2aa/?c02r14...@1551@15@25@111
    90 Illusionist
    90 Templar
    90 Berzerker
    90 Ranger

    Not an ideal group makeup I know! Only 5 of us, and we are playing what we are playing!
    The problem we are having in the bastion specifically is on Schteek Tavinos. We can usually get him to around 20-30% before it all goes horribly wrong.
    What seems to be happening, is that I get hit for 14800-15200 from his AoE, which is followed up quickly by a melee hit that kills me.
    If I could get another 3-4,000 hp that would probably give enough of a buffer so that I can be healed after taking a big hit. Or, getting a lot more mitigation.
    So my request for help is what can I do here? What gear can I get easily that would give me a big HP or mitigation boost? There doesnt seem to be a huge choice on our servers broker.

    you can also use Outword Calm (the self ward) that will take 10-15k of that aoe. you can grandmaster it and it helps with aoe's.
