Tankpoints Discussion

I'd like that any potential tanks have half decent armour. This includes a reasonable defense number and a realitivly high stamina.

Once again I'd like to push the use of TankPoints. Whilst it ain't going to be perfect, it will give a pretty good indication of the relative defensive capabilities of our tanks and is the closest thing we have to a yardstick, not only to use as a measure amongst ourselves but also against other guild's Main Tanks.

Unbuffed Tankpoints:

• Doughead...25416
• Koren...25194
• Buxton...24857 [12101 FR]
• Asbach...24802 [16707 FR]
• Hurston...23070 [15099 FR]
• Slowpokey...20843

[Edit]I didn't mean this to be a pissing contest, and yes I know it doesn't take into account block or special abilities (Frenzied Regeneration as well as Shield Wall etc). Feel free suggest another way of roughly comparing tanking gear and, most importantly, tracking improvement. Since I installed the mod I've gone from about 17K TPs to over 24K, so I feel I've made progress [/edit]

Was hoping to see some figures for 'Tankpoints' as I also use it (both for warrior & rogue).

I find it quite helpful when deciding on gear choices & as long as you have clear priorities set (e.g. AP, Sta, crit, etc), it's useful. However, it doesn't address all considerations & is informative, rather than definitive for me.

Zerkilar (lvl 60 rogue) is 7,198 btw ---- not surprising it hurts so much when I get hit by end-game bosses.

Hey ,

I just installed TP and its working now ,will edit my numbers in as soon as I am unbuffed .

Got a Ony buff yesterday and on logging this morning a Thrall buff to boot .

Koren

16335. EDIT. Oopsy ok major mistake by me here, this score is in zerker stance

In defensive stance my score is 19965

Though alot of people know I'm not a mod lover and I don't think mods can replace actual people and their skills.

Only skimmed the tank points thing on the webby but it says it doesn't take into consideration block. Druid's can't block an with one activation I have a 94% chance to block twice with 10 rage, to infinite times because there is a bug which doesn't always subtract the charges, so a warrior can block for the duration. This is on top of my passive block ability.

Tested on tizzi I block 44 damage per block with my main shield. Thats a block at least everyother hit as well as a silly high dodge/parry proc. In a boss fight such in zg that easily adds up to tens of thousands of damage migated.

Hence reasons I don't like most mods Because theres always this kind of debate.

But it can be a VERY basic indication.

Whats zerks tankpoints with evasion activated?

Lol good example how one (drunken) remark can change the subject on a topic .

But Turth is right on the block,dodge,parry skills on a warrior that also have an impact on tanking as a skill.Lets have our pissing contest here on tanking armor points and the bear will win nevertheless the point is that we at least have sorted who'd be up for MT,OT roles in a MC group.The people with less points get scaled down on the call list depending on attendance,that way we always have the best tank for the job on point .

Koren

Yeah agree with turth on the mod side....my tank points is 16223... its all that stamina you have turth which wacks you up Looks like the bear is tanking rag next week .

>Grim<

Just so you know what grim means, he has 14 more defense than me but I have aprox 1000 more hp than him. 57xx somthin.

damn mods

Hey ,

18190 unbuffed......and who is Stanley ?

Koren

Did LBRS with koren today in def gear. His health loss was consistently slow and very easy to keep up with so much so that after a rank 10 heal my mana had regenerated fully before i needed to heal again.

HUGE difference between healing that kind of specification and for example deathstare and raxor. Their health drops quite violently somtimes especially rax cus i think hes in fury? fury can nerf plate so much you may as well be wearing leather. Ds stays in arms so is slightly easier to heal. Both warriors have minimal or no extra def.

def ftw

Hey new tank points on the way for old grimgier...since ive improved gear over the last months my tank points have shot up.

Grimgier-21908

Since the nw additions of my draconian defelctor (which i finally got) and the overlords crimson band from zg im now immune to crits! so throw me in front of any molten giant any day!

Cheers
