Patch notes say about 50/50, so it's on point. Still pissed about that. Way too high, imo, and the AH is down so I can't offload this garbage. Loving the xp, guaranteed bag, and rare chest spawns.

Yup, I want distillates more than these weapons I'm getting now. Even having everything unlocked from the start from having a TSW account no one needs that many weapons under this new system.

Can you eventually upgrade a MK1 weapon to MK2? Or do you have to switch to a MK2 once you find one you like and then start upgrading that.

I don't suppose there's a way to save active/passive ability "sets"? I want to have a general DPS one for questing, and a tanking/ buffing one for dungeons.

Tried to do some Elite 1 today. So far Elite dungeon finder takes about 45 minutes and frequently doesn't match you with a tank or healer. Boss mechanics have to be dodged or they 1-shot. Boss melee attacks hit for about 3k (80-90% of dps hp, half a tank's hp). So uh, start leveling that tank/heal gear if you want to do them. Probably need at least all/most tank/heal blues.

Yeah it was easy as hell to see this issue and you should have known better. Gone are the days of full DPS talisman setups. You need to slot some Tanking talismans in order to survive the high end poo poo.

I have successfully killed 4 lair mobs now using my fuckery so just a bit more and I can go stable without the joke things I am doing to them. Unfortunately lair missions rewards are all about 5 people having a summon token.

Lair mobs are dead at 78 item power. Now pay me Lawlicaust and Ill tell you how I did it.

This relaunch is better than I expected. Still have no real sense of how the weapons have been re-tuned and each weapon only having 15 abilities seems a bit small, but perhaps it'll grow on me. The lifetime subscription continues to be the gift that keeps on giving.

So. Question for the people here who know their stuff: What weapons can serve for tanking? What kind of gear? What's the recommended health?

I'm an assassin this time around but I heard blade is no longer a good tanking weapon. Is it still viable?

From messing around with it a bit, Blade has a couple good tanking/self-heal abilities but it doesn't seem quite as viable for tanking this time around. You will need a second tanking weapon. Chaos might be a better choice.

Shotgun, Hammer, and/or chaos. You need mostly health talismans. poo poo hits hard.

I'm a blade main right now, have spent no points on elemental secondary. Was thinking of switching ele for shotgun. That way I have a long range for the game proper and could switch to main shotgun for tanking. Are there any recommended abilities to get first for shotgun with a tanking build in mind? Would it be necessary to ALSO build up on hammer and chaos?

Sorry for all the questions but you seem like you know the meta pretty well.

Reinforced Rockets and the Rocket Pod are a good combo, it gives you a lot of protection off of a 3 energy ability

When the crash screen pops up after you close the game it still calls it The Secret World.

That's appropriate because I got the crash error report on closing nearly 100% of the time with The Secret World too.

(far as I can tell everything is working fine except for the crash error report)

Might want to watch out since both blade and shotgun really want a lot of ability slots. I think I'm rocking all but one button with shotgun abilities (the other one is a hammer aoe for spamming on trash). That said, shotgun is really simple to pick up because it only needs one ability line to be really good.

This might all change if you're building a tanking load out. I haven't looked too much at the shotgun tanking stuff. When I've had spare points I've been mostly looking at hammer for tank stuff.

I'm out of town for a week and some change so I can't get in game to do a full write-up. I agree with the above poster that you will want rocket pods and supporing passives. You will probably want to dip into shotgun and hammer or chaos if you want to tank harder content because you will need to rotate protection talents from both weapons. Shell Salvage and it's passive are amazing for using two tank weapons because you can quickly regen energy for both weapons to maintain buffs.

The best build will probably end up with maining hammer or chaos with shotgun secondary for rocket pods and shell salvage. I don't have the gear or sp to test it yet though.

A lot of people talking about stacking full health talismans as a tank now. I guess aggro is easier to hold in SWL so attack isn't necessary? If health is so important, would the weapon suffixes of restoration or recovery be best, or stack full protection with warding?

Yeah, the increased threat means that no tanks need attack gear. Recovery or Resto is probably best because the protection amount on those weapons is tiny.
