New Dawn

Yes you might be able to handle it but it could be a scenario that is best handled a different way for the sake of others. Given your input I wouldn't disagree to a vet reward power that allows a Tanker to force aggro when needed as atleast its in the hopes that an experienced Tanker would have it when playing with a not so experienced Brute.

So your happy with what conceptually looks right,..it doesn't feel right. ES looks like a move to execute but doesn't fulfil.

In this you can tell that people don't care about people. They're only interested in what gets done for them.

I like the look of ES as to me, it suits the name. You casually aim and fire. It's nothing cowboy handbags at dawn style in terms of speed which you couldn't regard as an executioner taking a shot....but it is stupid.

As a gunshot, firing only 12 metres away and incapable of one shotting some npc makes it pathetic.

I didn't roll one in the end.

Enjoy ya free weekend!

I meant "about long on the forums" atleast as Fire-Minded anyway.

I was one, but there was a lot of research to the point of putting truck loads of numbers into excel. However I never came up with the changes.

Yeah I thought they were spectators..

"Comparatively no responsibilities"

That's your opinion and you're welcome to it.

People differ on opinions therefore not one persons opinion is right.

Run behind a object as your putiing on your first debuff. In order to hit you they'll all have to come to that object to look around it. Walls are best to run behind as they're like on big object with only one way to come.

Next is debuffing the mob most likely to live the longest, you can quick target by /Macro T, "$$targetname <>"

Don't type <> as that's just where the name goes. You hit that macro or bind but but macros are better to edit imo. Then hit the debuff preferably RI and move behind a wall. You can slap on two or 3 debuffs before pulling behind a wall as the enemies may take time to move away from the anchor.

On teams where someone does their best to make sure the anchor dies first I sometimes have a anchor for every debuff.

I didn't use to "seem" to agree at one stage. There was so many people who didn't take taunt, said that they didn't need it, but watching them play said otherwise. I guess people have different standards/expectations. My beef in the taunt arguments is not with those that decide they didn't want it, it's with those that seem to think its a useless power and that anyone taking it is stupid, lazy etc.

To someone used to say about them being Pros and not needing it.

Well define "Pro".

We all have our standards/expectations and I fully expect the average tauntless tanker to not potentially tank as well as those with.

However I am agreeable to choosing for themselves. I'd rather talk about BBQs now than whether someone has it or not, but for those that think they're able to offer the complete tanking package, I really don't think so and never for one second had.

One of the great things about Dark/Fire is that it has great AoEs quite early in comparison to other Tankers. For gauntleting purposes you are bound to hit something, however with both Dark/ and /Fire you rely on being able to hit and I have come across groups that if it were not for taunt I would be whiffing the air whilst perhaps someone is getting creamed. I do recommend build up or something to enter tohit debuff heavy groups.

I often have discovered that people aren't even targeting what's doing the main bulk of the damage to them. It's alright if you can't acquire a target quick enough but still a gamble. It has always been a Tankers equivalent to Absorb pain in that you can make that crucial save during a sprung ambush and the range on it beats travel powers any day.

For 3 whole years now that "full time emp" has been a necessity to suceed for many teams because people don't bother to "think" for more and more ways to go about things basically.

I like to build and have a number of ways to play so that failure is not an option if I really want to go about getting some thing done.

But it is actually an option, even I've seen teams that I think "They really don't deserve this" or have met people who I think "well if they think they know it all I am going to let them carry on believing". I prefer people who are open to ideas and who will investigate a sniff of new method rather than the "I can't do it, no one can" or the "Well I've thought things through, we can't do it" types. No harm in asking the team for ideas.

Those people who have cheated their way up through exploitable missions should have to think sometime. That's one of the reasons why I don't like to see every trick in the book commonly known and good guides have never revealed all.

Wow well done to that. The content in game is based around say 6 player teams, lets say specifically what people may call 6 effective builds, so there is room for 2 more characters that can be so-so. Why everyone needs to have an "effective" build I don't know. Lets say that you've helped people through the game with a few other really, really effective builds, then the way I see it is ya deserve to spoil yaself with what ya like. In anycase the one paying for the account is only one whose opinion matters and for all the people that won't team with ya, there will be ones that do, ones that pride individuality etc.
