Return of Reckoning

If you've got Buffhead, then /buffhead cache

Use your abilities, then hit refresh on the cache window and you'll see ability names and IDs. Can be useful as some abilties have 2 IDs, one for initial effect and one for lingering effect like a HoT.

This is just the first pass at balancing tier 4 weapons, and imo its clear they haven't gotten it correct. They've given procs far higher importance than they have deserved, which has resulted in some of the PvE weapons which dont have procs looking much stronger than they previously did.

I also ...

We did get a tank patch over a year ago, I can't remember it changing much. A few tactics here and there, we got a single-target punt, and You Wot? was returned to us in the dps tree.


I think BOs are in a pretty good place. As snb tanks, we're damn good! Really survivable with some decent utility ...

Definitely not a fan of the big nerfs to weapons and shields.

What feels out of whack is the importance placed on procs. Whilst I agree that these should be included when balancing stats, they've been weighted so heavily thats its making a lot of weapons seem terrible now. This seems especially ...

I dont really know mara very well, though i have been through the PvE grind on him.

I would say generally you want an AoE build for dungeons. So much of the dungeons time is spent killing adds rather than bosses, and AoE will benefit you way more. The runs will be quicker and you'll be able to ...

My first piece of advice: stop chasing the meta!!!

Just because a class is theoretically "the best" or capable of winning 2v1s, doesn't mean that you will enjoy playing it. Additionally, just because a class is meta now, doesn't mean it still will be by the time you hit 80. So, basing your choice ...

Fun and Progression are my two main aims

The fun comes from the combat, and from chatting with guildies. But the combat is only fun when its comparatively small scale and relatively balanced. I'd rather have a 6v6 fight or a 1v1 that I lose, than win a 12v6 or something similar. I'm a big believer ...

The population isn't big enough to support 4 tiers of players, so T2, T3 and T4 were merged. In general, this has been a good thing but it is rough for new players.

That doesn't mean you can't contribute or level up in RvR.

As a low level, you've basically just gotta join open warbands (if they ...

Large scale, yeh, 2h tanks kinda suck. Theres too much damage floating around that your decrease in survivability is really noticable, so you can't really function as a good tank. But you also dont do enough damage to take a DPS place. I dont feel the need to make 2h more viable for large scale ...

I think 2h tanks are, generally, in a pretty good place, though I say that only from a black orc point of view.

Solo, im fine. I can kill some, lose to some, have close fights against others. Feels fairly balanced. Sure, it sucks getting kited to death by DPS healers and SWs and so I'd love a gap ...
