Tank "nerfs"

[Chicks]

Is called "Tattoo of Wall", not "Tattoo of Aggro".
The main characteristics of this tattoo is the outstanding shield defence. The added aggro is just an extra.

Yet you brought it as a good tattoo for making RB... Thus my argument that under that optic, it's not as good as you seem to think it is. I guess we'll have to see how it works out with the boosted aggression, but I doubt much will change regarding that tattoo. Tanks will still only attack once or twice. If I want more shield pdef/rate, I'd get a mana tattoo to keep my toggles up longer. If I want more overall defense, Giant (or wtvr the HP tattoo) to trigger FF "sooner" and for longer.

Frankly I don't see the purpose of that tattoo for most situation.

Have you tried it beyond lv2?
At lv4e, when maximized, when used in conjunction with tank shield skills you basically have 100% parry rate and physical damage received is reduced by nearly 75% (virtually is like having 75% more hp)

The Tattoo +HP doesnt cover up so much physical damage mitigation like the Tattoo of Wall does.
Of course against magic attacks is another thing but Tattoo of Wall is meant against physical attacks.

Note:
Just as info, relationship between tattoos' level and players' level:
lv1 = lv20 chars
lv2 = lv40 chars
lv3 = lv60 chars
lv4 = lv70 chars
lv4e = lv76 chars

and where 80% of server is mage, it's really useful.

You have other tattoos for that.
MDEF tattoo or the explained +HP tattoo...

This is all relative to your class/stats I guess...

I'd also have to understand exactly what advanced block give, how to achieve exceptional/perfect block (what influence it, mainly), if that's even in IL... Because if it's in IL (which I doubt), it may be cool to have that tattoo, mixed with something else to boost perfect block rate... after all, a crit-to-be that do 1 damage is always nice .

i prefer when u you ignore cryers replies.
i just wait the nerfs, when sub tanks/xx will take advantges of your fixes for full tank sub( 0.1% of server)...

just tested aggression in pvp.

spammed aggro with almost 1k atk speed, he didnt change target not even once.

So em. Yeah. Deflect arrow toggle was consuming mana like crazy and had animation. Anything about that?

well drake could you at lest disable the toggle mana consumption on deflect arrow, and make it like holy armor and aegis Stance?
so at lest we wont have to toggle it on/off everytime we fight a mob using bow too.

meh i tried too but no answer.

Yeah I saw your post but couldn't assert your claim. AFAIK, it has a mana cost thats is relatively low. It seem to drink 100% of my tank's mana regen, which makes it look like everything is fine at first, but you just never regen mana.

I noticed an important difference with a BD (so not a high lvl deflect arrow), where the mana consumption was pretty high.
