About the stats: remember, the "damage reduction" is not listed anywhere, but it is the most impactful defensive stat. e.g. the Lich companion (Undying Overlord), Pegasus mount power, Forgehammer of Gond/Frozen Storyteller Journal artifacts, summoned Bruenor Battlehammer companion...

@anewstandard.floors Жыл бұрын

Frozen galeb dhur, portal hound ad some other comps have situational damage reduction. Probably better to prioritize stats and use lich. But if you use augment or don't have lich there are cheap/free ones you can use. And idk if they have ever been publicly tested using dam resistance comps together. Might be worth trying if you can get stats from other sources, just like dps running 3x dmg comps and still meeting caps

Thanks for the video. These are great tips. I would add one more that I notice a lot of fellow tanks missing out on, which is that it's our job to manage the space. When I pug as dps or healer, I notice a lot of tanks just jumping into the middle of the fray and pulling threat, which is fine. But what would be better is that we move the enemies into positions where the dps can deal with them effectively. For aoe, that means we should try to group the mobs up and tank them on the opposite side from the dps. Especially for boss fights, we need to be aware of what's happening in the rest of the playing field. One common example is that I sometimes see tanks holding a boss in a position where melee dps have no safe space from which to attack the boss. If I'm tanking with people I'm not familiar with, I always tell them "there will always be safe space on the opposite side of the boss from me. Stand there." and it is then my job to always position the boss so that there is. If the dps and healer can rely on us to manage the space and create opportunities for them, it is a lot easier and more efficient than having them run all over the place trying to find their own space. Just my 2 cents. =)

Personally, when I see a tank immediately turn the boss around for CA, that would be my clue that the tank is experienced. I hate it when the tank just attacks the boss with no regard for party positioning, meaning 4 people have to move for CA instead of just 1. Kills the momentum of the encounter for me.

@mercioproveti3727 Жыл бұрын

The main issue is when your team mates don’t understand what you are doing and complain about that, for instance: fighting Arthuria, dps failed to deal with some mimic stashes and I started running around aggroing minions and taking them away from my team mates so they could focus on the boss. My healer complained about that and tell me to stop running around. In my opinion, tanking is the most hard role to play as if the team fails they all look to the tank and guilt him. I played MToS once with a bad healer and all the time I had to step back to heal my self and recover some stamina, loosing some aggro and when we all died one of the group wrote: bad tank. I replied with a “ok” and left the match.

@Nicomancer001 Жыл бұрын

I highly agree with tip#9. When trying out a new class/playstyle, I always do randoms. The worse group that I get partied with, the better! It just tests the limits of your knowledge of your character to be able to finish content and contribute with a group, no matter what composition you are in. Getting in good groups can make a new tank slack off and not be able to deal with the pressure on harder content when your groups always obliterate your targets before you are needed to take the damage for the team. There's no learning opportunity there.

@-acoustickings-3125 Жыл бұрын

About the last tip, there is something important that needs to be said. Yes, it is important for the Tank to take the lead. But nowadays, some stupid people think that a queue is a race. If the Tank stops to open a single chest, there is always some braindead racer that starts complaining. We take the lead, but we have the right to open chests too ! Or to stop for a few seconds to change some part of the build or the use a selection of buff itens. Queues are to move with strategy, as a team, and not a dispute of who reaches the next checkpoint first. Also, there is a new type of Kamikaze DPSs that are breeding in Neverwinter. They stack the maximum they can of Movement Speed only to arrive at the mob first and die, to highjack the Most Damage Taken of the Tank. Leaderboard is making the people sick. DPSs using tanking companion only to boost their damage (Lion). Healers using tanking companions. And real mess ! Everyone should be less slave of Leaderboards. Maybe then we will have sane people that move with strategy and together, as a real team.

@Aragon- Жыл бұрын

Nah, no time to open those useless chests. Really they have nothing but on a small chance an insignia. Which fine, if you need that's ok, but an endgame Player who is max, with complain. Dps will always rush ahead where they can to keep dealing damage ahead of their team-mates. They need to find the balance of what they can take. Yes sometimes they don't need a tank at all, and a good healer will do fine.

You cant kill nothing lol I have ran threw few times with my alt wizard and you burn threw everything. Thanks for the tip im still learning too. But its hard to hold threat when everyone is smeagaling dungeons. Or pulling your threat with gear. Really irks me when they do this. If I’m running anvil, enforced, line breaker and tide of iron. They still pull it.

Totally agree with you Michael. Tank is the hardest hole to bring to End Game. Some DPSs are envious of who is tanking. That's why they always try to highjack your threat. To say that you are a bad Tank, when in fact you are not. I already saw a DPS changing his Helm to the Rugged and one ring to the Celerity only to highjack the threat of the Tank. They do this to you because you shine much more than them. So, don't worry and keep shinning. 🙂👍

@-acoustickings-3125 Жыл бұрын

Great video Aragon. But i don't agree with one thing that you've said. Because, in truth, the Tank is the HARDEST role to bring to the End Game. Everything for tanking is really freaking expensive. Only 1 companion to fill one bonus slot can take millions to be bought. And also tanking is the HARDEST role to play too. That's why Tanks are rare. Because the vast majority just want to play the easier role, DPS. Hit enemies without being hit and also being healed all the time. No one wants to "take the bull by the horns" that is the job of a Tank. Tanks are always blamed for everything bad that happens, even when it is clearly the DPSs or Healer fault. Immature kids always blame the others for their own mistakes, not only in Neverwinter, but in life too. That's why Tank in the HARDEST role to play and build and the rarest role to find.

You missed some very critical points and got lost in the basics about mechanics. theres more to tanking than simply finding the rythm wich is what youll have to for any class you will play in any game ever... Missed points: Stamina is your capability of blocking as tank!!!!!!!! No stamina means you can not block wich is a rather critical for a tank to be able to do!!! Damage reduction is also a important key to survival, taking less damage in general from EVERY BLOW? sign me up!! Lastly on stats; powers/items that increase your max hp can also help you survive otherwise devastating blows, you can barely tank if u dont have the hp to survive a hit or 3-4 before healer can respond. in terms of tactics, i often pull mobs and then kite to prevent most otherwise flanking hits, i also search for aoes placed by allies to pull my enemies into. all of these can mean a lot in terms for your party. p.s. ty for the vid =)
