REAL TANK issues

Grim Dawn Gameplay Discussion
1

Hi there my name is Bazzok in game and maybe some of you played with me
since i got 1000 hours on my tank .

and if you play with me you will always find out that i am part of the big community helping , crafting and giving away what i dont need

i just respecced to tank moggy but i have to say something :

using the blue ring and double Warcry .
Markovian set of course … and aetherwarped axe ( good drop )

I cant hold aggro
;C

someone comes with stun jacks is the worst !
hey my main hand is 50k ( dps )

i am untouchable ( moggy can kill me on ultimate )

BUT how do i hold aggro ? even hitting them with 100k melee straight from the hand using all my skills playing as a tank becomes a struggle when i see what dps i can do with a sorc !

i am really sad with this and thats why i wanted to open this Thread why cant we get more control ( not anything else ) but how can i control Hate
if this game goes only for dps … i am VERY unhappy these days playing my tank for 1000 hours ++ not finding a way to even hold aggro in a group
makes me sad

i know a lot of grim dawn but i say Pure tanks are not needed anymore i better go with a stupid conjurer build and just dps them down

my main char becomes more useless every patch ;C

and DPS chars running around in my set also because physique
(everyone stuffs points in )

so what … at the beginning of Grim Dawn it was not like it i just wanted
to tell you : The Grim dawn becomes a DPS Whore making it hard for serious tank builds and let me struggle to even keep aggro
with 50k from my axe ? lol

Next time i just play my op sorc and kill everyone i think thats not what you wanted

A tank should get aggro from BLOCKING , Trauma and serious one hits
which is quiet abvious but ( 1008 ) is still not out nerfing my recast on war cry but what can i do even to hold aggro on a stun jacks spamming low dps elementalist ? tell me

pls join discussion i really want some feedback

Bazzok ( full tank ) and yes i tanked moggy but those days seems over

Welcome to Pure DPS builds

pls give tanks some hate or taunt for what they DO ! … or they will not be an option for tanking the big ones … they will not even be an option to play
and that makes me sad … lets run 500k dps on screen and forget about the real deal of STEEL

;C

The question is: Is it riskier doing it at a Sorc? If you can mostly facetank but the sorc has to dance around a lot and dies easily, then that seems fair…

This is why player death must bring consequences, or being squishy has no genuine risk vs staying alive.

4

my sorc runs so much dps that mirror is enough to kill all heroes before it runs out …

but the tank i just buffled watching them die AND i have aggro with mirror ON

even with a low dps sorc using stun jacks i cant hold the TANK

5

for a sorc she runs

as a tank its hard work so ok i just play sorc and be happy is that what you want so ok so tanks are still no use

they can do what they want DONT die ok but are SUPER slow and still have no aggro

and staying alive as a DPS is the worst i know but when i get hit i cast mirror and kill them
THATS the problem got me now ?

its far beyond a tank can do …kill them in 5 sec

6

what i was requesting is MUCH more hate and aggro ( not damage )
just tank the stuff if you go for tanking

but i think the tank is DOWN !

7

i got conjurer and some other DPS

i will never ever play bazzok again if i cant hold aggro with cool gear …

told you tanks are not needed anymore

go for dps ;C

8

dps and be happy and wear my gear AS sorc lol because you put all points in physic

To hold aggro better, max Warcry and wear items that increase your threat:

I think it’s an issue Crate wants to solve but hasn’t been able to.

I know last night the group i normally run with was having a terrible time managing threat. We were doing crucible with our new 85’s, 2 of us pet builds and the third a bleed based caster. Both the pet builds had the pet taunts leveled fully, with the assumption they would actually do something. But they really didn’t.

The bleed caster was pulling threat from absolutely everything. Wave 120 we had to attempt i think 5 times before completing it, when Fabius spawned my pet’s could hold his attention for maybe a few seconds, with the other two characters on the other side of the map. He suddenly peeled off and ran right to the caster and killed her, despite the fact she was not attacking him in any way. We never managed to figure out what was causing her to gain aggro from freakin every monster :confused:.

Really somethings very wrong with threat, and I hope crate can figure it our.

ok even with panty its not enough and stun jacks are bad !

12

i only say my AXE hits easy 100k
give me some HATE

13

ok pls help but if my axe hits 200k WHY dont i have attention ?

14

thats what i mean
exactly i wear full gear im a cool tank
but get no aggro man

i say ok to full DPS builds But gimme a bit aggro
or i never play a tank in this game

15

get 50k alone main hand and ok lets talk for the grim dawn
i very rare see this
they dont have lets just tell you with crucible i saw 87 k on main dps
thats in my private opinion is a tank HIT HARD get attention I am here ( throw them and i really enjoy putting them on the ground !
and thats not solved got ya

16

tank vs dps some hate gain is wanted or i just play dps and roll 500k or more ignoring tanks your choice i go the easy way

17

As far as I’m aware, a high number of hits causes more aggro than even taunt skills. Stun jacks fires off a shotgun of pellets with an Electrocute DoT so the user is going to be getting a ton of hits.

We inherited a very simple threat system from TQ, which we did make some tweaks to improve, but it’s still far from perfect.

Stun Jacks are rather notorious for drawing threat.

Maybe what we need is some more threat generating skills on gear for the tanks out there to counter those stun jacks bastards…err…:eek:

19

My sides… :smiley:

stun jacks pulls ALL MY taunt to nothing
they do no dmg but taunt like HELL
thats whats what i went out today
pllssssss fix TAUNT on hit
