How should i do this on a magblade to combat vivec zergs
I'm a PVE roleplayer concerned about my vampires stage 4 skin tone and keep getting load screens so I came here to distract people from major issues with a rant thread about my characters cosmetic appearance.

    I play mag too so sometimes will experience a similar problem.

    If you see they're a dk with ≥30k health, don't waste your time with them.

    They can't kill you and you can't kill them. They're built that way because that's what they need to stay alive.

    True. Just ignore high health tanks and eventually they will evolve to less healthy out of boredom.

    I definitely can kill you with my 50k health build.

    As a magNB, if they're a permablocker build it's true to ignore them, they can't kill you

    But don't assume all builds with a lot of health are just meatbag

    With my build I have lost to magNBs because they kite me and keep up 10k+ wills + incap

    30k is not alot of health. 50k+ is. People around 30k hp can still nuke you down if their build is right.
    I used to kill people in seconds with my hybrid blazing shield build with 40k hp because people had the same thought process. That I was just a no damage tank, so they let their guard down and got rekt. Sad they nerfed everything that made that build what it was though. :(

    RIP true diversity in builds!

    Just hit them harder.

    No seriously! A few times, I've had problems as the meta changes to deal with tanky players. The common solution seems to be to join them so they can't burst you either - then it depends on either who runs out of resources first or who's allies turn up first..

    I sometimes find going the other way can work - forget about sustain and throw that much burst damage into your build that you can still mess up all but the super-tanks. Those you just leave alone.. ofc. you're gambling on being able to kill em before you run out of resources... but hey! can't have everything!

    Best counter ive found is to:
    1) make sure they don't have a friend. The friend will burst you while the"tank" is setting up a cc.
    2) sustain DPS prior to burst. Getting their health a little lower before timing a burst is the best way. It might feel like a grind but when that percentage starts hitting 60% you'll see them scramble. Then cc+burst like you do on 21k health dps builds (you only need 9k health to be removed from then before you should consider timing your burst).
