Nine Swords

Ok, I'll see about getting a my equilibrium talisman dark-pinkified then. Due to the bullion gear I have, I'll likely be running a slightly squishier build then though, with that additional heal minor replacing a tank one. But well, if we wipe to that I can always change back after a while as a fall-back.

Does anyone have any theories as to why stacks got all odd during Phase 3?

Usually because of mismatched hate.

Yeah... just trying to work out how to fix it for next time.

Everything was perfect in P1 (and wow, that was nice) but P3 everything got wonky, heh.

It isn't just due to mismatched hate - which does happen OFTEN because of that buff circle. Since we split the tanks into 2 different teams, the double stacks actually seemed to get higher, from my opinion perhaps due to higher extra buffage on the other tank at times when the other didnt have a damage increase effect running.

It is also, in part because from my experience - if Shadow Out of Time comes and agro hasnt switched, the tank that hasn't had stacks during it will get knocked back. Therefore, if Shadow Out of Time is almost finished casting and we haven't switched agro yet - I force an agro change so we don't die from one of us getting knocked back and not being able to grab the agro back quick enough.

That's another reason to put the tanks in the one group then.

Another issue is maybe our equilibrium signets. If I take it I should be careful about keeping it off the tanks perhaps.

Can't really do anything about the Shadow knockbacks. Just have to expect that healing will be high enough to cover double stacks.

I always use Confuse for every other switch. If I have aggro, and Provoke is ready, when switching to other tank, I would confuse right after the switch, and guarantee the other tank have more then enough hate. Then Provoke to switch it back to me. Just have to make sure you don't use Confuse when Provoke is on CD.

Ahh, didn't make it yesterday, sorry Busy times right now and unexpected things happen
