Hey!
Tanking is a role most people don’t like doing at all in MMO’s, For some reason.
and i feel like the gem system makes this even worse.
Forcing tanks to either ignore weapon upgrades, pay a lot of gold ( depending on the server ) or farm silver/gold and hope they are lucky. Is kinda bad…
And weapons without a Carnelian isn’t even usable…
I can honestly not think of a good solutation to this issue myself.
But maybe someone in the community have a solutation to this.
The only thing is to make carnelians, use SnS and deal with what we got.
That didn’t add anything to this threat…
Right now, Its rather easy to find a tank. Mostly because of the hype surrounding the game…
But once it dies down, tanks will be even more scarce.
And this gem system does the opposite from solving this issue.
This doesn’t effect me at all, personally… I am playing this game with friends, Who can just give me the gem if needed… But everyone isnt as lucky… Making it really hard for a solo player to ensemble a group for any kind of activity needing a tank…
We have seen this issue in almost every MMO… This was most noticeable in TBC classic… When you had to pay for a tank.
What doesn’t help anything is that only a few skills are even taunt gem compatible. Sns has 2 or 3, hammer has 1, great axe has 1, and that’s pretty much it. I’ve always loved tanking in mmos but with new world, its just almost not worth it. Its needed, but tanks are the only playstyle that can’t consistently solo content, and holding consistent aggro is almost impossible with how much harder healers pull it.
maybe new weapons in 6 months to 1 years time will make for more tanking options.
personally i just want the 500 gold respec cost, and azoth weapon respec costs to be reduced by 75% or more.
100 gold or so respec cost will be much more reasonable. gold is hard to get.
so with outpost rush youll be able to farm gold and azoth really ez but since its disabled again its obviously a problem but getting 300+ gold and 100+azoth for 20 mins of time is very ez to farm so i dont see a problem here
if you spent all your gold and azoth on respec then you won’t have any left so that doesn’t solve the problem
so your saying you have to respec every 20 mins of playing the game? lol thats kinda laughable
Right now I’m really annoyed by the fact, that a Carnelian is mandatory for a weapon. Especially with weapons like Keen Temper, which looks like a tank weapon at first glance, but doesn’t have a socket.
I’m a tank and I have found no problem going solo for the most part. Sure sometimes it takes some time because I don’t have as much damage but on the other hand I can Facetank a bunch of mobs or even elite bosses without a problem.
On the contrary I have heard more complains from healers and DDs who were ranting about not being able to solo.
And if you can’t hold aggro because your healer is pulling it… Tell them to wait until you got the aggro and generated enough threat. Also the healer and DDs should put one carnelian on their armor just like you need to put one in your weapon. The carnelian gem has 2 effects:
Active - increase threat and taunt
Passive - decrease threat
