Quote:In Super Reflexes, everything is neccessary except Elude. In Fiery Aura, I'd take all the powers for now as well.Originally Posted by CHRISfromOHIO
So as a tanker how many secondary powers can i get while still being an effective endgame tanker? my build ideas were super reflexes/ martial arts and fire aura/martial arts. Id like to have lots of cool attacks to go with my theme but still tank. Thanx Chris
In Martial Arts, I'd recommend talking all the powers when you can while leveling. Once you get a better idea of which powers are handier, then you can always respec and drop whichever ones you don't like. -

I've been putting this together ever since the snipe changes went public. She's one of my surviving three on Virtue with the four-year anniversary badge, my first fifty, and someone I want to reconnect with despite having botched her first build. Recharge is right where I want it, I'm just iffy on her combination of ranged defense and debuffs from Radiation Infection. Spamming Irradiate is going to hurt the blue bar too, but Power Sink should cover that, right?

ADDED: 'And the mole you've been suspecting since you first showed up in camp? Yeah, that's almost everyone on your 'team.' You know, the people who stood around and barely interacted with you while you ran all over saving the planet. I'm sure you'll have a huge emotional moment over their sudden and inevitable betrayal.'
ALSO ADDED: 'Oh, and that camp bully, the one who threatened you when you were going to report him to the authorities? Yeah, you'll get an email later on how he was dragged off to the stockade. I hope you weren't thinking of him actually ambushing you at some point, I mean, actions having serious consquences? Who needs that when actions can have nothing but loot, good guy / bad guy points, and a feel good email.'

And despite what everyone says, WoW isn't on top because it's the best game. It's on top because it's the first game to get enough right to hook people in. There are better games out there, but the 10 million or so subscribers have investment and friends in WoW, so WoW is where they stay.
Golden Girl made a crack at TOR earlier in the thread, but WoW has had even less content than than in the same timeframe. It's ridiculous, but Blizzard has those folks hooked.
TORtanic, on the other hand, is how you spend nine figures on a game that would have been truly state of the art for 2004, only now its 2012 and players expect a hell of a lot more for that initial $60 plus and the $15 a month. Not to mention that the whole experience was pretty much the home PC version of the Buzz Lightyear ride at Disneyland. -

Quote:Well, there's your problem. 'When required' is not always 'when available'. As I've been trying to say, support and inspirations are not always there when you need them.Originally Posted by Psiphon
That's not the point - they have the option of hitting 90% resists when required, Scrappers and Stalkers do not even though their damage caps are similar.
Because they were designed as CoV's counterpart to tankers.Quote:Brutes have extra health and an extra 15% resists, why?
watQuote:My comments are based on the fact that Brutes in actual gameplay (in my experience) outdamage Scrappers and Stalkers in many circumstance. -

Quote:Let me phrase it this way then: How often do you actually see anyone chugging through insps to keep their brutes at the cap?Originally Posted by Psiphon
This would also be true for a Scrapper or Stalker.
Why is it OK for a Brute to do this and not a Scrapper or Stalker considering the relative damage caps of each? -

Quote:Rare is the team that will have all the buffs on the brute all the time.Originally Posted by Psiphon
On a team the Brute can hit the same resistance cap as the Tank while dealing considerably more damage, leaving only the HP difference.
400% ain't exactly chicken feed. Stuff is still going to fall down a lot faster with a damage buffed tank than with an unbuffed tank.Quote:The Tank with the same buffs would deal far less damage due to the lower damage cap.
And...?Quote:Even solo the Brute will outperform the Tank simply by using inspirations.
Using the Brute ATO proc it's possible to achieve between 80% - 100% fury, easily out damaging the Tank.
That means either:Quote:The shortfall in survivability can be made up using inspiration, allowing the Brute to again cap resistance/defence.
Due to the higher rate of defeating mobs, the Brute will have greater access to inspirations and thus survivability based around these.
a.) Said brute is fumbling with right-clicking on their insp window which means they're not killing anything.
b.) Said brute already has macros at the ready, at which point you've already entered Hardcoreville or its farming villages and nobody's balancing our ATs around that.
Again, 400% is a heck of a lot.Quote:The Tank will also haver access to inspiarations but wil find his damage restricted by the low damage cap.
IMO, if you want a brute, roll a brute. Tanks are not brutes.Quote:IMO there needs to be an adjustment in the damage and resistance caps to prevent this from happening. -
I've made over 10 billion over the past three months just through casual flipping across three alts. Its a nice and profitable side game, if you're more aggressive you could definitely make more faster.

Quote:I like teams small, large, and raiding, and I find actual tanking to be fun when its possible, but, yeah, pretty much this.Originally Posted by PRAF68_EU
I like the low level game. I like soloing. I like small teams. I don't like raiding. I like watching hoards of enemies throw themselves at me and bounce off. I'm happy to defend weaker allies if they need it, but that's not my reason for existing. I like Tankers, but I'm indifferent to tanking.
My Elec/TW just dinged 50. The rest of his auction bids fill out and its party time. -
