I thought I would (again) ask here first before just randomly searching Youtube. I've started up an alt character group with my friends and my best friend is currently our warrior tank. We're lvl 35 now and to be frank I worry about the future success of our party with how his tanking is going. As a lancer main I know that a warrior tank is played differently but the BAM battles have been waaaaaay too chaotic and there have been too many sloppy wins and near wipe episodes for me to be comfortable with. (unless this is on par with a warrior tank)
I can't really watch how he tanks while I play but I think the main thing is he gets hit too often. Should be be using only dodge/roll or more cross parry? I tried once earlier to brooch the subject but it's a tad sensitive atm >.>; Looking for some tips from warrior tanks here on how they do it and perhaps any good videos of warrior tanking or the how-to's etc.
Thanks.
Up to level35 I could tank every bam solo without a healer without being hit once. Sometimes I'd take a few hits when learning bams or I'd mess up, but I'd go plenty of bams ending the fights duo as slayer + warrior at 100% hp without using a potion keeping hate 100% of the time. You should be using D stance and blocking every bam as a warrior, you rarely want to dodge any bam 1-35.
I've never played lancer but I don't see how it's different, you block and attack between blocks so you never get hit.
33~38 is a really bad level range. If you're not rocking the gold 27 you lose a lot of block, so your next upgrade is at 38 where you can get a new gold wep with high block. With that he should be able to block everything the game throws at him again. If he's tanking in a group he should be blocking rather than dodging most stuff to avoid repositioning. That way your groups DPS can abuse crit from behind crystals. If he's getting hit a lot past blocks he might be playing too aggressively, fine if you're comfortable with the BAM/class but when you're still getting used to it you're better to play it safe.
Block most hits, avoid the large ones. War should be worrying less about maximized dps and more about clean tanking and control.
What are generally considered the best boot enchants at endgame? I like 2x 1.5% movement speed, but I most places I've read suggest 2x +1 endurance, at least for Sorcerors.
I personally prefer double endurance, regardless of class.
on Sorc I preferred all movement speed, but of course Sorc aren't "supposed" to get hit, so maneuverability=survivability imo
also I'm just always about movement speed in MMOs, bar using speed hacks lol.
if you're on a class that gets hit more often of course the endurance is going to be better though.
I suppose once you're familiar enough with a fight's mechanics, then you don't need endurance if you're not getting hit, but I still like it because it acts as a safety net in case you fuck up for whatever reason (or are just messing around intentionally) or the boss you're fighting decides to go troll mode. I've seen countless times where my static's Sorc or Priest will survive an attack with sub-2k HP. I think the best one I've seen is where our Priest survived a laser from Queen with 74HP.
Ok, I'm starting to do a lot of BGs on my Archer and need some advice on where to start on my Conjunct set. Should I be trying to get the hands, feet, body first (no realy order there) then do weapon? Or do weapon first? I have full fraywind +9 atm.
What do you guys recommend for bow enchants end-game? I haven't gotten it high enough to figure out rotations at the end, but I assume some combination of Boss / Behind / Enrage / Attack Speed? Which should I ideally aim to get two of?
So finally managed to mw my regentip, currently has boss, boss, enraged, speed, what should I be aiming for?
No longer applicable
Currently have an imperial reach with behind x2, boss, speed stats and sovereign axe with behind x2, boss, enrage stats. Any suggestions in ideal stats for both? Also us it worth side grading from regent to mayhem or wait for vm/new gear since vm is still sometime off due to friends stopping playing and taking care of a newborn?
Depends what you plan to use VM gear for: PvE or PvP. Most people on MT, spec VM for PvP and then use queen gear for their PvE needs, though there are some that hybrid their weapon for PvE/PvP. I personally upgraded my gear to full Mayhem (I wasn't full regent to begin with so it worked out) and just plan to ride that out until there is a significant upgrade beyond VM for PvE.
