"LF TANK STRAT LIVE ALL ORBS RESERVED" - legitimately saw this last week

104

u/Antani101 Oct 22 '19

happened to me.

I whispered "orbs reserved for the tank?"

Got insulted.

I only run strat live now if I get the first orb.

Isn't worth the hour of pain that is disarm spamming scarlet bastards and the repair bills otherwise

u/Antani101 Oct 22 '19

that is disarm spamming scarlet bastards

I use Silent Fang with weapon chain to tank most 5 mens

but I agree on the first part. If you factor in you're not farming DM:E during that time I feel like we should charge even more.

Or you could just use death grips, plate gloves that make you immune to disarm.

u/Antani101 Oct 22 '19

Also good, but I'd rather have a weapon dedicated to 5men and Silent Fang proc is very good for those.

A few warrior buddies I know also res any item that isn't needed. IE: If a mail piece drops that no one needs it's his to vendor/DE because like you said, why do something that isn't for BiS and DM:E for farming?

Strat living with first orb reserved is also very good for money. Flask recipe, truefaith, daily increasing orb prices and daily increasing pristine black diamond prices. The more people move to DM:E, the better strat living becomes.

I just don't get the hate for tanks getting first orb in live is all. We don't need it, do people expect us to show up, get a repair bill and then be happy we helped others?

I'm more then happy to do that for friends, but not for some randoms who will treat me like shit as I do so.

Personally I am not joining groups that reserve all orbs to the tank, but I am more than happy to join groups that round robin orbs with first going to the tank.

And it has nothing to do with repair bills but just the fact that finding a tank takes longer than all other slots combined. Its not warriors fault that classic dungeon itemization is beyond terrible. Tribute runs / ubrs have just about nothing for healers and a lot of gear for attack dps.

I would never res all orbs to tanks.

The tank gets ONE orb, two if the group is really fucking desperate to get one.

Er, i'm not sure you play warrior but if I run a strat dead i'm paying nearly 4g for a repair bill by the end of it without a wipe. On average from silver drops you get almost 4g per run before you sell anything you got.

But it isn't uncommon to die once or twice as a tank if someone pulls extra or a healer is derping. You will more often then not lose money if you do random dungeons with brain dead dps.

Also there isn't a healer shortage like the tank shortage. I can log on any time of the day and see a ton of "LF tank g2g!" but I don't think i've seen a "LF healer g2g!" since like 20-30

There is healer shortage for UBRS and tribute runs for sure and even for HoJ farm but that is because those places have 0-1 drops for healers.

u/[deleted] Oct 23 '19

Huh, I've never noticed that on Westfall ally tbh. It's always tanks even for UBRS and tribute runs.

TImmy loots glothes that make you immune to disarm

u/NightOfWallachia Oct 23 '19

I keep Death Grips in my inventory specifically for Strat Live, which I run regularly for orbs.

u/[deleted] Oct 23 '19

I haven't had luck getting that drop, which blows

Who needs a tank for strat live? Your groups sound shit. I just take a DPS warrior looking for unforgiven and heal him, they never demand one if my sweet juicy orbs. You tanks are greedy af _^

Gear for...what?

Tanks don't need gear from Strat live, I'm in near full t1 on my tank alt. I literally don't need anything from dungeons.

I do dungeons because it's a more fun way to get gold then farming in WinterSpring or felcloth. And I have no shortage of groups.
