It might have been wise for me to hold release until it was mostly done.. I'll try to have at least up through Dwarves done by Monday.bw10 wrote: Wed Oct 18, 2023 4:55 pm really cool read. i was upset when i realized it doesnt cover all careers yet

How much would it cost to make an icy veins version of this like to have a website dedicated to build some guides? I don’t mind starting a fund for it.

As this incredibly valuable guide is about to disappear to page 2 of the general discussion section, I also want to push it, and I second the call to pin it to the top :)

i think this is great, I have a couple of suggestions for tank basics:
1. hammer home that guard damage cannot be mitigated, this is extremely important and not particularly intuitive
2. interrupt chaining - by cycling taunt, kd and even a punt straight into a nearby obstacle you can shut down a caster for upwards of 10 seconds. with a 2nd interrupt (ie. vicious slash, jibblies) you can basically keep a caster switched off permanently. if a single bomber is ripping your sc team to pieces this is often the most useful thing you can do and I very rarely see any other tank do this
3. talk a little about initial guard priority, it can be a tricky decision in pubs when you just have random classes and no big mdps. you often have to look at someone's weapons or even inspect them to see who's likely your best guardee
4. talk about switching sc groups, joining groups with no tanks, leaving groups with several tanks, moving to be with mdps, etc.
