Nevermind this is P99, could be done tweaks we don't know about.

I'm sure WoW has all their weapons ranked and categorized by threat, damage, etc and plug-ins that will display every single formula and hold your hand into choosing the best item for your class.

All this meta knowledge in P99 starting to make me sad!

Sorry for being overly assertive, but sometimes I just get sick of Samoht's BS. He's insulting and borderline abusive to other poster's here. His ego is megalithic and he seems to have a fetish for arguing (whether he's right or wrong). He's often right but not infrequently wrong. On this topic, he's flatly ignorant, and I'm happy to call him on it.

From time to time, narcissists need to be brought down to planet earth.

Is this still the case? I mean it seems like it is as I use Concussion frequently on raids. I thought I saw a fairly recent patch message saying something about this not working like it used to though

Yea. The best mob to test this on is a black reaver. They're 100% immune to magic and don't hit too exceptionally hard. Pull aggro with a few Lure of Ice chain casts, have the tank turn off attack/don't taunt, and then cast a few concussions.

One or two casts in you should see the black reaver refocus it's attention on the tank even though he has done nothing to build hate in the interim. That's because the -400 Hate of Concussion is calculated before the spell resist roll is performed.

Oh, look, another one for the fan club. Do you happen to have a link to my specific post that changed your life so much? I'd love to bask in the glory that it's reduced you to a pile of loathing and hatred. Or should I just return the favor and start calling you names when I correct the bullshit you post?

Warrior epic is absolutely worth achieving.

The only ToV weapon that should be used during a serious tanking role encounter ( as a general rule of thumb ) is Trident of the Deep Sea. Every other ToV option is a dps toy or situational use tool. If you cannot obtain Trident, make effort towards a Sword of the Shissar.

If you use blue blade while tanking a high profile target, you're wrong.

Would extreme high MR be a better statement?

Vyemm Warrior sword proc lands everytime, on black reavers.

From time to time, narcissists ...

How quaintly predictable.

I expected no more or less from you.

That proc is unresistable. I believe that T-staff proc lands on reavers as well.

You're not very smart, are you. If a simple hyperbole and a couple of metaphors confuse you so much, I'd hate to see you actually try to have meaningful conversation with anybody about anything besides EverQuest.

Symptoms
By Mayo Clinic Staff
Narcissistic personality disorder is one of several types of personality disorders. Personality disorders are conditions in which people have traits that cause them to feel and behave in socially distressing ways, limiting their ability to function in relationships and other areas of their life, such as work or school.

If you have narcissistic personality disorder, you may come across as conceited, boastful or pretentious. You often monopolize conversations. You may belittle or look down on people you perceive as inferior. You may feel a sense of entitlement — and when you don't receive special treatment, you may become impatient or angry. You may insist on having "the best" of everything — for instance, the best car, athletic club or medical care.

At the same time, you have trouble handling anything that may be perceived as criticism. You may have secret feelings of insecurity, shame, vulnerability and humiliation. To feel better, you may react with rage or contempt and try to belittle the other person to make yourself appear superior. Or you may feel depressed and moody because you fall short of perfection.

Many experts use the criteria in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), published by the American Psychiatric Association, to diagnose mental conditions. This manual is also used by insurance companies to reimburse for treatment.

DSM-5 criteria for narcissistic personality disorder include these features:

Having an exaggerated sense of self-importance
Expecting to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it
Exaggerating your achievements and talents
Being preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate
Believing that you are superior and can only be understood by or associate with equally special people
Requiring constant admiration
Having a sense of entitlement
Expecting special favors and unquestioning compliance with your expectations
Taking advantage of others to get what you want
Having an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others
Being envious of others and believing others envy you
Behaving in an arrogant or haughty manner
Although some features of narcissistic personality disorder may seem like having confidence, it's not the same. Narcissistic personality disorder crosses the border of healthy confidence into thinking so highly of yourself that you put yourself on a pedestal and value yourself more than you value others.

When to see a doctor

When you have narcissistic personality disorder, you may not want to think that anything could be wrong — doing so wouldn't fit with your self-image of power and perfection. People with narcissistic personality disorder are most likely to seek treatment when they develop symptoms of depression — often because of perceived criticisms or rejections.

If you recognize aspects of your personality that are common to narcissistic personality disorder or you're feeling overwhelmed by sadness, consider reaching out to a trusted doctor or mental health provider. Getting the right treatment can help make your life more rewarding and enjoyable.
