Return of Reckoning

@Hargrim I’ve started recording in game for that exact reason. It’s rare but I’ve seen it once or twice where the lord’s aggro spazes out, jumps between a few folks, and resets. Haven’t seen this since the latest patch though, so hopefully all’s good!

@ Fallenkezef - Don't worry about it! I'm of the mind that the more discussion about slayers/this guide the better. Sure some are more abrasive than others, but in the end everyone is championing their version of what they see as the best for the slayer class. The more info a new/struggling slayer c...

@Szejoza I'm getting that. I believe that it was brought up in reference to my armor strikethrough being too high. W/ the perfect liniment (60 WS/-5% chance to be crit) I'm sitting at 1054, 920 WS (~65% strikethrough), and 0% chance to be crit. Is the meta really to stack -Crit% beyond that?

@Shaggy - Thanks for your input. @Darosh - Going to go through your response piece. Thanks for the well reasoned and thoughtful post. Before diving too deep, we clearly are coming from some different camps when it comes to how much we value certain stat allocations, but I agree with your core premis...

@Dinotron I'm using Enemy for group/warband and Pure for my unit frames.

Aye, nothing like making a guide to have a vast ocean of knowledge be thrust upon you! I was 100% wrong about the STR talis - depending on what potion/liniment/group composition you can have some play with STR. WS talis are the way to go. I'm testing running FS with lower parry now, but I stand by W...

Hella low initiative, yes. I do need to add a gear progression bit, and that may help cover some bases because I theorycrafted with my available gear and not with ideal gear. Currently, I'm looking swapping some pieces to drop +AA haste and Crit for crit reduction as well as dropping some Parry for ...

Curious what you see as a red flag with the guide? It's still in its infancy, working on images for UI/Button layout, but it isn't meant to be a total fluff piece. Tone aside.

I've tried to run a more defensive slayer w/ FS and AI, but I never felt like I was contributing as much as when I was running my more offensive/defensive build. I'll be updating tactics/abilities/playstyle when I get time to revamp parts of the guide. Especially with Riposte I should be more clear ...

The goal of this build is to have a survivable slayer that doesn't trade offensive capabilities for defensive ones. AI's extra armor is helpful for when I'm getting trained by melee, but a super high parry and correct positioning fulfills that same role. The difference being that Riposte + high parr...
