That's rich coming from you.

Post parses or GTFO.

What does DSM pay you to be his friend?

Just found it ironic that you posted that when all you do is shit up every thread. DSM, bcbrown and sogundordor are the only ones who took an actual crack at solving those mechanics in the recent years so like I said, post parses or GTFO. You can't solve raiding AC if you don't know how AC actually works.

And you don't have to white knight for DSM but you've chosen to do it anyway.

There's nothing to solve for AC and raid tanking because max hits are going to happen and you have to plan for those.

Now can you please explain to DSM what a hyperbole is? Because apparently his level of autism means he understands nothing about literary elements.

Just like he understands nothing about EQ.

Goregasmic is simply pointing out that you haven't provided any evidence for any claim, and are spamming the thread.

That isn't white knighting. It is just reality.

No amount of AC will lower the max hit.

No evidence necessary.

Stack HP.

Remember: reality's an illusion, the universe is a hologram, buy gold. Bye.

Correct. AC does not lower the value of a mob's max hit.

AC can lower the amount of max hits you take. That can reduce damage spikes between CH casts. This is useful during times where the CH chain is disrupted for whatever reason, as a simple example.

This.

Healed enough ch chains in raids with bis monks trying to tank vindi and they just get absolutely smoked compared to a war. Between their special ac doing nothing, having less hp, and no defensive it wasn’t even remotely close.

No need to listen to dsm spam this thread, trust me bros.

I've been through plenty of CH chains myself.

Not all raid targets are Vindi or AoW.

Velious was beaten in Kunark gear. Everybody knows that you don't need full BiS gear with the best AC, HP, and/or Resists to beat all raid content.

I don't know why people think they look cool or special for pointing this out.

OP is asking about AC because they want to know how the game works anyway. If people weren't have fun collecting items they don't strictly need, P99 would have died years ago.

Yeah, so if you know no raiding guild is setting up a ch chain big enough to last several hours on AoW so a warrior can try different setups to pinpoint a softcap nobody gives a shit about so why are you demanding that from him again?

Finding the softcaps is still relevant for a lot of classes if you're not dripping BIS gear.

Indeed. This is what Samoht is missing. The best 100 HP gear is often expensive DKP wise. Many Warriors are far from BiS, and will remain that way for a long time.

You can get inexpensive items that help with your tanking while you wait in the long line of Warriors for full BiS gear.

No, what YOU'RE missing is that this thread is about raid tanking. Keep the idiocy like tanking Lodizal on a level 40 ranger in your dedicated threat.

Now Samoht is really mad. I have never tanked Lodizal on a level 40 Ranger. Thanks for continuing to prove you are a liar. I really don't understand why he keeps saying this, as it just makes him look bad lol.

He doesn't understand the basic concept that some raid gear is rarer/more expensive than other raid gear.

He doesn't understand the basic concept that other raid targets exist besides AoW.

He doesn't understand how AC works.
