Gratz on this one ZOS, haven't had as much fun playing this game as I had running VDSA last night in a long time. Difficulty seems spot on, certain mobs hit like a truck, bosses have high health and most mechanics can't be ignored anymore. I don't see a lot of pug groups getting through this which IMO is a good thing. Appreciate the 100% drop rate on the final chest, my only gripe would be with the traits on the loot, seemed to get a lot of sturdy and reinforced.

It doesn't need a comma. It's a question. Why does it make you laugh? It's perfecta engalish.
Also it wouldn't be a comma, it would have to be, Why? Does it make you laugh?.

Same thing.
Did I ever say it made me laugh? I said it was funny, thus I assumed your question should be "Why, does it make you laugh?", which no, is not the same thing at all. One question wonders if it's funny because i laugh at it, and the other one wonders the reason it makes me laugh (which I never stated i did). So you are wrong, and that is OK, no need to bring up the attitude (people being wrong tend to have that attitude for some reason :P)

I have a full set of footmans now, why do you think it is bad? I also have a full set of tavas on as well that I wear at the same time. And as soon as I have the time to farm the dungeon, I will wear bloodspawn for the DPS till the last boss.
The reason is that my reasist with out the footman set would really low. Like at 30k spell and 25k buffed, I am a stam dk. I would not feel comfortable with that low of resist in vDSA. That extra 8% is huge when you are capped resist.
On topic, I feel like if it was 15% lower difficultly, it would perfect. Some of the bosses just feel like bags of HP. All the really hard hitting attacks can be interrupted.Edited by Lightspeedflashb14_ESO on August 5, 2016 8:59AM0 -

Maybe Footman was something back then, when there were few good jewelry for tanks, but times have changed.
Footman, besides the fact that the calculations of the 5th piece makes it having waaaay less mitigation than indicated, also brings nothing to the group. The role of the tank has evolved from being mostly taunting & surviving, to a more support-oriented role, hence why it's all about having very high uptime on Warhorn, and bringing group-wide buffs with Ebon, Worm, Hircine's Veneer, Alkosh...
As for your resists... Huh, I'm curious about your gear, because I hit the spell resist cap while buffing up (almost for physical resist), and that's if Bloodspawn is on cooldown...PC EU - Zahraji of the Void, aka "Kitty", the fluffiest salmon genocider in town.

Trashkan✭✭✭I love my v16 footman set so what if I am selfish but what good is warhorn on battlemaster if tank is split 100% of the time I mean come on guys I may be a selfish tank but it sounds like your being a greedy dps that only cares about high numbers what good is high dps if tank has no stam to taunt?2

Reducing that 12% to 8% is for the devs a priciple stance I think: not too much stacked Resistance.
But why did we not get back something else for that 4% ?
Something like Blood Spawn ?
Blood Spawn has some RNG Armor Resist for the Tank (the selfish part)
and some 30-60 Ultimate gain per minute for the Group
Why not add as compensation to the 5 piece bonus: 1 Ultimate gain per hit with a 1 second cool down.
That would generate approx 15-30 Ultimates per minute.

What would you like to know? I have all the best for tanking I think, reinforced on the big pieces and sturdy on the small and a defending one hander. I tanked vDSA with the setup I mentioned(tavas+ footman+EG), I could tell I was get hit for more then when I was running armor master but I was pumping out warhorn like crazy, like 5 on the first boss in 4 minutes. So I think it is worth it. I am aware that I could do more for ultimate regen, like bloodspawn and having a decisive weapon but I would be giving up too much resist and sustain.0 -
