WARs, how do you keep Tanking interesting?

[Jimjam]

You know there is a command to increase font size in eq? You could viewport onto half the screen and the other half have a giant chat window? Have you tried that? Or is it blind beyond even huge fonts?

I always found simply being the tank to be interesting enough. If I ever get bored of being the point man or just need something different - that’s what alts are for.

As others have pointed out, being an effective warrior also means situational awareness, knowing what you’re fighting, the strengths/weaknesses of your hunting party, leading from the front, carrying a bag or 2 of tools (and knowing when to use them), positioning mobs (and when to push/whatever), strategically using kick/bash to interrupt, etc.

I find playing my warrior a lot more engaging than my monk for what it’s worth.

Raid lead

Only join a group when nobody is capable of taking hits. War is max fun when you know everyone is dependent on you.

I've always wanted to make a Warrior but I don't like responsibility.

I play this Elf Sim because I have to deal with responsibility in the real world.

I don't escape responsibility to find more responsibility.

Miss me with that responsible shit.

To add to this, I think you can also proc on riposte, so higher proc% per swing means higher number of procs, hance the slow...

Edit:
Also on live, people used to kill the whole plane of fire abusing this, by having bard pull the whole zone to a slowed warrior, an ae weapon and the riposte disc, leading to all the zone dieing in seconds due to the ae procs

[lurk]

You can't proc on a riposte and I think mainhand is closer to 2 ppm with 255 dex

The riposte disc was just to stay alive. Rampage is what killed everything since there was a chance to proc on each mob

Ho, right, thx, so forget about proc on riposte [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
