We were never nerfed. Whats all this about agility then? I tanked just fine before the last few big patches. Now I'm tanking significantly better than before ever since. My gear and levels haven't changed all that much, so why all the crying?
Your bugged, better report it. Seriousy, I'm glad you feel your tanking hasn't changed. Your the minority though - I know I take FAR more damage and avoid LESS attacks than before the patch. I know that when I'm grouped with a Guardian there is no contest as to who is more mana efficient to heal, even with shamans. As I do not avoid as much attacks now, Wards are far less efficient than they used to be. It may not be linked to agility, but since that was the only thing mentioned in the patch notes, we can only assume that is where the change lies.
Ouka. Level 28 Human Monk of the Kithicor server. I can't speak for the high level of the game that everyone is complaining about (yes, I read *THAT* thread), but I can say this: That whole "Deflection 139/100" thing at level 20... Yeah thats purely cosmetic. I remember getting Deflection skill ups through my low 20's. Now i'm 144/144 in Deflection and I've never tanked better. I admit I won't deny that now that monsters are hitting harder and harder, it does get a little difficult now and then, but thats Mobflation for you. Its an unavoidable aspect of playing an MMORPG. Higher mobs hit harder. I can only say that if your old tanking methods that you used in the 20's and 30's arn't working, then adapt a new one. Your a tank. Just because Intellegence isn't your biggest stat, doesn't mean you can't think.
Gain 22 levels then come tell me that, kthx. *edited due to my apparant lack of skills in addition (carry the 1...). Message Edited by Gage-Mikel on 02-09-2005 04:00 PM
Gage not to dog on you but i thought the cap for the game atm was 50??? 32+28=60 just want to know if they upped the level cap or not??
lvl 60 or lvl 50 same deal its alot harder for monks to tank at higher lvls. it would make sence that lower lvl monks dont really feel the effects. 40+ it makes a diffrence.
I have recently started soloing in TS... Pre the patch and out in antonica, I could solo stuff 2 levels below me, maybe even 1 with 2 ++, but since the patch and I have entered TS, I can sometimes barely do blues. I can only evade stuff 4 levels below me with 2 arrows to really kill them. Level 20 stuff hiuts me almsot every swing for 150-300, I am 23 atm, and I evade maybe 30% of the attacks from blue solos fully buffed. Lower level plate tanks evade more then me it seems, not to mention take less dmg, its pretty [FaarNerfed!] gay.
well it depends man they considerablly buffed up the grp mobs look for the solo mobs at level 30 i solod the tallon grunts out in zek that were yellow to orange to me after the patch u just need to look for the solo mobs we can solo those pretty well the grp mobs on the other hand you had better have a adept 3 or better feign death to use to safe your a** lol
You aren't allowed to complain about not being able to solo ^^ mobs and group mobs, because you're not supposed to be able to.
Not here to elighten you but I would just like to say that with my low str/sta (47/40) but quite high agi(65) Ratonga Monk at level 22 I am able to solo the solo yellow and orange enraged mobs in both TS and Nek. I can aslo solo the group 2^^ blue and green mobs as well as 2 white 1^ mobs grouped together... I guess I just haven't seen the effects of this nerf...

1) I doubt you can solo blue++ and white+ mobs. 2) You are benefiting from the often mentioned and soon to be removed deflection bug I presume, since you are xp'ing in a low to mid 20s zone.
While I take more damage after the Feb 1 patch it seems to be somewhat equal, however everyone takes more damage.
At 31 I still seem to be tanking fine. Im sure things will change around 40ish but Im enjoying it while I can =) Yenyang Angrydragon 31 Ogre Monk Kithicore
