Roar of Alkosh and Lunar Bastion

code65536

I should further add that tanks running Alkosh is also the result of there being a terrible lack of good support sets for a tank to run. Hopefully, the redesigned Galenwe is a sign that ZOS is finally learning what tanks actually want in this game. And if there are more compelling support sets introduced in the future, we might see a day when it's better for tanks to run other compelling sets and leave the Alkosh debuff to DDs.

This is one important reason why Alkosh must be kept as a stamina DD set. Because the conditions that make it a good tanking set (the dearth of other options for the tanks) could evaporate one day, and you'd be wishing that DDs were able to provide the Alkosh debuff instead. To eliminate the possibility of Alkosh being used as a DD set is a very myopic solution.

That said, I do agree that the 1-4p Alkosh bonuses are pretty lackluster for tanking. To that end, the best solution would be to give Alkosh the SPC/Olorime treatment. I.e., turn the Alkosh debuff into a new named effect (call it "Major Sunder" or something), and then give that effect to the 5p of a future heavy armor set for new content.

They shed defensive sets as they increase in cp ,not due to skill they longer need the extra health, mitigation and such.

So why did we go from Plague in vHoF to no Plague in the course of a single patch? There was no CP increase. And it's not like the 30 extra CP per patch really does that much anyway.

Sorry but really enjoyed group dynamics that at least required true cc , pulling techniques that were player knowledge of mechanics, healing and buffing that required more than throwing them out while your dpsing, . This has nothing to do with difficulty it has to do with actual content creation, combat mechanics and such. Tanks should be defensive not a DPS with a taunt.

Maybe you should try tanking some of the newer content. It's true that the old launch-era content doesn't offer much for tanks to bite into. But you can't say the same about much of the new content.

I quit at Morrowind true Mazzatun and COS were much better on mechanics you could still mitigate alot with again DPS. As for trials its still a group imbalance you still need one maybe 2 tanks occasionaly 2 heals and 12 or more DPS. the game relys heavily on a DPS meta. seems its the new school road to easy to create content for dev teams

As for med armor...
Who the hell needs anything if we have relequen?

theres people who still swear by vo and alkosh on their stam toons. relequen is good dont get me wrong but ive found it to be more of a dps detriment than a help. i pull maybe the procs damage less on my rotation but thats it. the set doesnt do much if anything it hurts my sustain. so stam has the to each their own sets now.
