Happy Saturday.
Any day started with Bacon has to be a good day!
At least I hope so for my latest character...WldKarde's Bacon.
A coworker's wife began her ESO journey today. She chose a templar, he went with a NB...so I rolled a DK Orc.
Since the "less than PC" NPC's like to refer to Orcs as "Pig child"...and in honor of this thread's cravings for the perfect food...I found I had no other choice in my naming of my newest character.
Inspired by the old Johnny Cash song "A Boy named Sue" I hope that someday "WldKarde's Bacon" can forgive me
"Son, this world is rough
And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough
And I knew I wouldn't be there to help ya along.
So I give ya that name and I said goodbye
I knew you'd have to get tough or die
And it's the name that helped to make you strong."
He said: "Now you just fought one hell of a fight
And I know you hate me, and you got the right
To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do.
But ya ought to thank me, before I die,
For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye
Cause I'm the son-of-a-*** that named you "Sue.'"
I got all choked up and I threw down my gun
And I called him my pa, and he called me his son,
And I came away with a different point of view.
And I think about him, now and then,
Every time I try and every time I win,
And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him
Bill or George! Anything but Sue! I still hate that name!
Sorry about this "Bacon", but Orsinium is only 16 days away...suck it up son...war is hell and ya gotta be tough

WldKarde✭✭✭✭✭I think the whole "Star Wars" thing @newtinmpls depends on when you were born.
In 1977 I was the perfect demographic (10 year old male) for George Lucas, and I fell in love with Star Wars. Then came the "prequel" debacle and I fell out of love with Star Wars. So I kinda get it that it is weird to "have" to watch an NFL game as an american...just to see the latest trailer.
I for one didn't bother...sometimes you can't un-ring the bell after having your favorite thing so utterly spoiled by someone who had lost touch with his vision...and his audience.
I want nothing more than for this next film to revitalize my love for the series...but I won't be standing in line on opening night to see if it does.
As far as your character...
I had someone in EP chat mention "I had no idea how ugly Orcs were!"
"WldKarde's Bacon" didn't flinch...in fact he smiled.
He's an old war horse who doesn't let the mews of a few whelps get in his way, he just laughs knowing that they haven't seen hell...and come out the other side.
People, characters, fans, and even George himself...sometimes lose track of what is really important in life. And that's to have fun! Might be why this thread is the longest of all the ESO threads..nothing too serious...just FUN!
Speaking of which...Only 13 days till Orsinium!

WldKarde✭✭✭✭✭I need some advice, my friends...for I have come to realized, to my great shame, that I am a Knucklehead.
Please allow me to explain.
As many of you may know, this is my first MMO, and I've learned from your sage advice throughout my time in ESO...to which I am eternally grateful. As my characters have grown in rank and my time in ESO has advanced, we've branched out into new challenges, as can be expected. But in the past many months I've noticed a fatal flaw in my play-style...
I'm a Knucklehead.
Again bear with me, as I think I've found the root of my problem. It seems that no mater what character I happen to be playing at the time...I only seem to have one mindset...find the biggest threat in my path and *** it off.
Now this isn't always a bad thing (since the difficulty nerfs) but once you start running group content it can be a problem.
Case and point: If you tell your guild-mates that you will be dps for this run...they really don't take kindly to you going screaming as if your head is on fire straight for the boss...aka Knucklehead
After much self analysis and admitting to my knuckle-headed tendencies...I think I'm supposed to be playing a tank role in group content.
After this revelation, I've brought my Nord DK WldKarde out of retirement and asked him to learn how to be a tank.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
My guild-mates and my characters would be very happy if you can help this Knucklehead out
I guess the first step is admitting you have a problem

UrQuan✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Welcome to the tank-side @wldkarde ! Personally I find tanking to be the most fun and rewarding of the 3 roles when doing group dungeons and similar stuff.
The job of the tank is to control the battlefield as much as possible. This may mean taunting everything you can (sometimes a good idea, sometimes a terrible idea), or it may mean using whatever CC abilities you have available.
Without knowing more about your class/level/build I can't give a lot of constructive advice, but here's one thing that's pretty universal and blew my mind a little when someone pointed it out, greatly improving my tanking. Stamina doesn't regenerate while you block, but sometimes you need your stamina to regen while at the same time you can't afford to just take whatever hits are coming your way. That's when you use your damage shields. The key is don't block while your damage shields are up. Blocking doesn't give you any damage mitigation while your shields are up, so don't bother with it then. Instead take whatever time you have with your shields up to regenerate your stamina, and maybe throw in some heavy attacks to help with that.

"WldKarde" was my very first character back in April 2014 so he has a special place in my heart.
I've tried to apply things I've learned from my newer characters to him as I've leveled him up along the way. Since I've mainly been doing solo PvE if I win or lose a fight it only affects me, but in group content if I fail then so does my group. I'm fortunate to be in a very supportive guild (not to mention my forum friends), but if I say I can do a role, I'd like to be reasonably sure I know what I'm doing.
A little less Knucklehead if you will
So there you have it...someone who was probably born to play the role of a tank...but has no bloody idea what the heck he is doing. A Tank in training is waiting for further advice.
On a different note. I sure hope that since they are starting the downtime for Orsinium 3 hours earlier...that it means I get to start enjoying the new content 3 hours earlier also!
Please be so!
Taking Monday off from work!
