Synergy idea for HA / Tanks (Very Short Read)

Petros

Give HA and S&B a synergy together. The more HA you equip, the better synergy.

• Revert all HA passives back to max health benefits.
• While using 5 or more HA w/ S&B, 50% stam regen while blocking.
• While using 5 or more HA w/ S&B, gain minor evasion(5% dodge)
• While using 6 or more HA w/ S&B, gain minor evasion & minor Vitality (8% extra healing received)
• While using 7 HA w/ S&B, gain minor evasion, vitality, AND minor protection (Reduces damage taken by 8%)

A synergy like this would make tanking a bit more appealing.

Thoughts? Concerns?

Mr.Hmm

And it will make pvpers whine like hell again about unkillable tanks(especially Templar/DK tanks).

Here's the thing with players complaining that they can't kill tanks. They are Tanks!! That is they're primary function. Is to take and absorb the damage.

Besides, players who attempt to kill tanks aren't that bright. If you realize that ,"Hey, this guy's health isn't going down, perhaps I should regroup with the rest of my team members before this guy calls in for reinforcements." Then you're a smart cookie.

We tanks don't do damage, and if someone claims that they killed a whole raid as tank spec, they really aren't a tank then.

Petros

And the way around that, is to add to the Battle Spirit that you wont be gaining these synergies.

It would be nice to see more benefit to turtling up.

All they have to do is drop light and medium armor to something that is "NOT" tanky. Medium 33% of HA. Light 20% of HA.

I still say this game needs stances. DPS have no business being tanky. I don't care what armor they are in. Players being able to do massive DPS while having ridiculous mitigation and self healing is a broken mechanic. The more people who reach the max capped power level, the more ridiculous and apparent it will be.

Stances fix the overwhelming majority of issues with combat.

They allow the conversion of all your core class abilities to either stamina or magicka, depending on stance.
They introduce a significant downside to cross roles to preserve the holy trinity meta and prevent every player being a tank dps and healer all in one.
They allow cool introduction of mechanics like partial stamina regeneration for block casting tank stances.
They allow the conversion of all damage types to a specific damage type, etc, etc. All fire morphs to physical damage.
They open the door to CC break or dodgeroll reductions to magicka builds without giving them to stamina builds.

I miss shield walls. If I'm a tank and have my shield up it should buff allies behind me with more defense. While removing shields off skills this would make tanks useful in pve and pvp again.

I agree, someone in they're bath robe should be able to take a bullet to the chest like someone in bullet proof vest.

I would like to see it more realistic in that sense, where Clothies should be in the back instead of in the middle everything.
