[ASK] me about OS/2 Warp
Thanks for the feedback - got it. And yeah i understand i'll have a lot more self healing later on.

One thing that makes me feel bad is when a dps runs ahead of me b/c they're obviously a sweaty type and want to CLEAR MAX SPEED. I obviously won't do the YPYT bullshit, but it just bums me out that I feel i am slowing things down. But i'd rather go slower and have a good time than shave what, 30 seconds off a dungeon at the risk of us losing way more than 30s to a wipe?

speaking of healing i'm wondering if a fun prank is to run 4x WAR party for dungeons. I suspect it can work all right at least in some?

Eh, if a dps pulls something, they'll live long enough to drag it back to you and get it caught up in the aoes. No need to rush.

All tank runs go pretty smooth, especially when high level kits come online, and not even in 4-person content. You see raids and stuff with 8 tanks. Speedrunning dungeons for tomestones will often also just drop the healer and go tank + 3 dps.

so here's where i'm at with 47 on WAR

* always best weapon/chest, rest within 10 levels (soon will be looking at ilvl but not really a thing yet)
* tank stance on all the time for now
* always food (what's best for this? isn't the first stat listed the strongest or something? I'm just eating stuff that offers bigger than max bonuses on all 3 stats, ie says +10 max 50 and i have 300 base stat so i'm maxed, right?)
* rotate CDs on trash pulls including my sleeper favorite arm's length
* AOE on 3+, single chain on 1-2
* Keep provoke open and use it/tomahawk on any adds that creep into the fray after initial pull
* Be nice to healers (esp since i'm doing lower dungeons in DF) and start pulling easy, get a vibe check halfway through and if they want to try, pull doubles
* spin big poo poo towards the back, eat cleaves, don't dance around like an idiot because the melee dps needs all the help they can get

Do i have the basics down?

I'd recommend always do one or two aoes on all the pack (even if there's only 2 mobs) at the start so you're way ahead on the aggro meter than your healer or the dps for a good while when running around, then monitor the enemy list to make sure you don't lose aggro
Otherwise you should be good to go until doing actually hard content (not "<Content> (Hard)") like Extreme/Savage
Oh yeah, when running in the dungeon try not to break line of sight with your healer for too long, like going through corners in corridors : can't see you, can't heal you. It's a mistake I've seen a lot of tanks do, especially in the ARR dungeons

Either they'll bring the mobs back to you or they'll die, and either way you can politely ask them to not do that anymore.

All WARs was once referred to as "man mode" because you're big burly things that hit things with axes and is viable at pretty much every level, especially after WAR gets Raw Intuition. You can sometimes have problems hitting DPS checks but that just means you need to Fell Cleave harder usually.

I have only really taken Monk past 50 and quite frankly if I ever gave the tank poo poo for taking their time and getting it all done right then it is completely justified to let me die and laugh at me. I'm a DPS, they're a dime a dozen and if they wanna push the pace they gotta live with the consequences.

I mean, hell, you even fight (Stormblood) a literal Zenos at one point and, having done so, I absolutely get Space Marines and their want to scream one off about all that.

speaking as someone who's played every role, i play dps most because i like the low stress job of being a jobber nobody has to worry about resurrecting too quickly if i pull something stupid. if any dps pulls something stupid and gets themself killed, don't blame yourself or feel stressed about it, it's what we live for

Oh yeah when tab targeting I can accidentally pull as a bard, it's not a big deal at 90 but I absolutely deserve to eat poo poo for it if I don't bring the mobs over to the tank and spank zone for AOEing.

Long story short, DPS are there to kill things, if they're not doing that, gently caress 'em.

What cool novelty things can a culinarian make? I'm leveling up my crafters in the hopes of eventually making my own furniture and stuff for my tiny cottage, but I have been ignoring cooking. Am I missing out on like a talking bass display or something?

There are tabletop displays you can make as a cul, but everything else is consumables. Do keep in mind that some of those consumables are ones that improve your crafting, so plan to have a max level cul if you want to attempt to stay current with any high level crafting

Alas, I lament. My dedication to The Bit in terms of a particular RP quirk with my character means that I am never allowed to even pick up Culinarian, much less max it out.
