  1. Reverence completed TfB HM Monday night (6/05/13) no screenshot as I wasnt there Off to HM S&V this week
  2. Oh and EAWare in case you are wondering how APAC players feel about you right at this moment https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Onjdw_FXyw Replace "Phil Daoust" with "BioWare"
  3. Ves hitting the nail on the head yet again. The fact that this is being disguised as a solution is what confounds me even further. I think what happened was this "APAC players are getting pissed about pop's they want a server merge" "How much money do we make from them" "We don't know" "Tell them to wait for F2P, see how much they spend in the cash shop and if we get more sub's" Queue forum post telling us they are looking into it and want our opinions Fast forward a few months "So the APAC server's, what should we do" "How much money do we make from them and how much is server CAPEX/OPEX?" "Income from APAC plays is less than or equal to OPEX/CAPEX of the servers" "Can we afford to lose 50% of our APAC server sub base?" "Yes" "Tell them we are solving there problems by moving them to a US server and shut down the servers." All of this is spin, sorry guys but we are not economically viable.
  4. Swap your relics out. Without starting a whole "which relic is better thing" (there is an entire thread devoted to this) I would say do a day of PvP and get 2 WH defense relics
  5. Guardian in mitigation optimised mostly 63's I am doing around 600 DPS Shadow in mitigation optimised 61's I am doing around 650
  6. Absolutely agree with this. Please BW implement this
  7. I'm not quoting this whole post but anyone not paying attention to this as utter gospel is a ninny. There are only a handful of fights in ops where guard should be on a healer the reset of the time if you are doing random HM FP and you are a tank inspect the mDPS, the one with the best gear guard them.
  8. My opinion is this: This needs to be a multi-optioned move. I would like to see the following 1. Free transfers to USA server for those that do not want to merg. They would need to move prior to the merg to reduce any double move technical issues 2. Merg all remain players onto a new server OR onto Dalborra. My preference would be to see people moved to Dalborra but that is probably because I am already there To make this an even playing field I think the way that the final move of US players to the Super Servers was done is the most equitable way to do things so basically create a new APAC super server. Those that do not wish to be moved then also have the option of being transferred to a USA server.
  9. I got the Might Hilt made and equipped now and am heading back to normal raiding schedule tomorrow (booooo long maint tonight) so I will see how it all goes. It is difficult on the dummies as they dont hit back so no riposte and I get focus starved I would love to see a change made to GS/CB to drop the AOE affect and add a 10% threat boost to all non taunting abilities. Hopefully RotHC will give us some additional threat.
  10. I have played a Guardian tank as my main since APAC release and have co-tanked all raid content up 3/4 Nightmare EC and while I love my tank I really think they are lacking in threat generation in comparison to the other tanks. So with that in mind I suggest the following change to Guardian Slash/Crushing Blow Current ability Strikes the target with a powerful blow, dealing 1033 - 1208 weapon damage and applying 3 stacks of armor reduction for 15 seconds. If the target is affected by 5 stacks of your armor reduction, Guardian Slash damages up to 2 additional nearby enemies, applies 3 stacks of armor reduction to those enemies, and knocks down all affected standard and weak enemies. Does not damage sleeping, lifted, or incapacitated enemies. Generates a high amount of threat. Change Strikes the target with a powerful blow, dealing 1033 - 1208 weapon damage and applying 3 stacks of armor reduction for 15 seconds. If the target is affected by 5 stacks of your armor reduction, Guardian Slash increases threat generation of all abilities, excluding Taunt and Challenging Call, by 10% for 10 seconds. I do understand why the ability was changed and it does give us more AOE threat but I do believe that this would be a much better ability and would bring us in line with other tanks. This would also not have a detrimental affect on PvP in terms of damage out put. It would reduce the "sunder spread" in PvP but since I dont PvP I cant comment on how much of an impact this would have. With the release of Makeb coming I would really love to see some work done on the defense tree to increase threat generation in the new talents that are coming.
  11. Had a small break over the Christmas/New Year period from raiding and I finally got my Shadow tank to 50. I jumped back into an EC HM last night and I forgot how hard I had to work for threat on my Guardian. Current stats are 31/51/52 with 25.2k health Bonus damage is at 405.6 I am currently tanking EC NiM 3/4 with my co-tank that is a Shadow. I did a fairly long session on my ops dummy to see what my TPS was and it was around 2.1k for a 5min parse with no power adrenal. This was with torparse and this number seem low, that being said I have no idea what it *should* be but I am guessing if I have our Sent whaling on the boss doing 1.8-2.2k DPS sustained in the fight and rest of the raid not far off this (~100-400 DPS lower). I am aware that tank swaps/taunts assist in pushing up threat. On a torparse from a EC HM I am doing about 1.5k TPS sustained over the fights Does anyone have any data on where our TPS *should* be at? I'll happily sit on my ship and work on eeking out every drop of threat I can by refining my pull rotation and prioritization. Also I am still using my 26 Guardian hilt, is it wiser to wait for the DG main hand to finally come my way or should I get the 27 might hilt crafted as an interim solution?
  12. +1 for a 24hr clock I hate using a 12hr clock so if we could get a 24hr clock as an option that would be great
  13. /signed Great idea! I tweeted Joveth about this but got no response. Would have preferred a "I cant talk about that" at least but got nothing
  14. I don't usually PUG anything on my main tank (dread guard geared) but on my Shadow tank I have only just hit 50 so I am still going through GF to get more comm's. What I have resorted to is creating a text file and copy and paste it into chat saying something like this: Hi, I'm <Charactername> and I'll be you tank today I will always pull, do not pull for me, if you think I am going slow it is probably because I am waiting on healer resources or health to be on full Markings will be <insert your preferences for cc markings> DPS are responsible for picking up standard and silver mobs, if an elite is CC'd and you break CC more than twice I will not taunt it off you and I will leave it at the healers discretion as to whether they feel like healing you. I am not doing this to be an ***** but to ensure this is a smooth run. This reduces issues on runs and makes sure people know what is going on. Healers not healing is an issue that just needs to be called out early. I usually say "I don't seem to be getting a lot of heals, while I appreciate you assisting with DPS I would prefer that job is left to the DPS and we all stay alive" Sorry to those tanks out there that think it isn't our job to run the group but it is, especially in PUG's. In our Op's we actually have a DPS as our raid lead but in Op's I personally prefer a rDPS as a raid lead as they can see more of the battle field than what I can......which is usually a large helping of boss crotch.
