New Dawn

Scranking simply doesn't amount to tanking. Sure there will be people who say Tankers are over rated, but they're not the most knowledgeable of people. I guarantee it.

I almost fell down on the loyalty bit due to RL pre-occupations (nothing todo with other games). It's easy given the crunch. I think a weeks grace would be nice for those that did.

Well I never saw fitness pool as an option just to say that your character is fit.

If you couldn't find a use for Stalkers at level one let me know.

That TF should be doable with that team make up and everyone on SOs. If it's not then there is a problem, but I think perhaps the team dynamics weren't that solid in terms of aiding eachothers survivability. It can happen, there can be times when there really is nothing better that you can do with your build and the best play isn't there. How well do you know dark defenders? If you know them well then you should spot things that you may of done but didn't see get done. Could it be that you or someone else just isn't giving the dark defender much to work with? Was survivability compromised for speed?

Yeah I did, I guess my idea of just slapping SOs in it is different to yours. I could of sworn that you were green boxed at the time of my post. I didn't down rep you, I think that someone maybe trying to make it look like I did however.

I just uprepped you.

As an SO build I wouldn't need to Acc up so much due to Invincibility and Rage and so could be more damaging. I doubt I'd need to have tohits in Invincible. I don't think this section should be about who is doing something wrong and who is doing something right. Suggestions are there to be taken or left. I think it best if David Freedom told everyone of his intentions first.

My pets ignore me. I tell them to stay and 10 secs later one of them has moved. I am only a few feet away and not going anywhere myself.

It's like being on a iffy pug where someone who has been informed that they should stay back somewhere takes it upon themselves to move in and gets killed. Then after being resurrected, so to speak, they repeat their mistakes.

Feeling like you can't get away from a bad pug when solo is so annoying.

When you IO the Claws/SR right, then it's worth every moment you've spent on it.

If you intend to get the FPR,PJ,TFC and the AM accolades then you can afford to change your build for less +HP. Clobber is a decent damage attack + secondary effect so much so its OP.

Mace tanks tend to keep aggro well without the aura, you can keep aggro well on gauntlet and taunt alone and I say that not for you to lose RTTC but from my experience I just dont get taunt slotting of RTTC at all.

In your case with the +Per from HS I just don't get Foc Acc. If your not going to have stamina and additional defense then I would consider conserve energy.

Soft capping def ends more problems than just getting hit.

I'll say this early also Joe that, if your guide is useful in giving people a simple basic idea to get going and competently keep going with still a lot of unanswered stuff then it is a good guide.

A bad guide would be so damn good that a person wouldn't need to play one or work anything out for themselves. I have with another game seen such a guide that made me think well I don't need to play it now. For me A to B stuff is cool but the B to C stuff should be left open for people to discover for themselves.

Joe,

I would if I were you decide on how your going to format the guide, then slowly develop it with the rest of the tanking community within this tanking section before putting it within the guide section. Place it in the guide section once your thoughts and other peoples thoughts are combined. You could be then the main contributor who had an open mind to what other people can also offer. By the time it goes into the guide section it could then be inarguable.

You're not alone on numerous tanks.

I think its AI or it could be AI. I like it. Watching a GM run when you are trying to solo it may well be a pita and conceptually a ?. A GM should look at TRTs Mortar and laugh at its weak debuffs as one person attacks it. In teams it's unlikely to happen as someones presence would keep the GM there. I'll find one and test it.

I could agree with GMs, they don't have to behave like puny NPCs, especially if they have no buddies anyway.

I have been speaking English on the French servers for two years now and no one has had a problem with it. I did have someone accuse me of pretending to be English as my English sucked but you know we deliberately don't spell properly.

I think its a bit sensible that the NPCs move from it. It's an aoe debuff. It's like the NPC says "I am a target of a debuff AoE, so I best stay away and/or clear of my friends".

I got this detail from Acid Mortar. I am testing right now for a no run effect.
