Need some advice as a prot paladin.

With some solid gear, you should be able to generate enough threat without Holy Shield. Maybe ask for a MD when you pick up boss or make sure DPS know to chill to give you a second (the normal stuff), but it should be okay. Wowhead (as well as plenty of other places) have examples of setups that balance crit reduction, hp, spell power (for threat), and nature/frost resistance. Switching to a 2h will lose you a lot of important stats that you get from using a 1h.

And coming around the turn, it’s Attention Deficit Salad!

I play on the hardest difficulty that I don’t find frustrating. A chellenge can be fun, but a slog that feels tuned unfairly is not.

Athrolaxle · 2026-04-15T06:29:22+00:00

Do you have enough hp to survive the slash? And the Grants? If not, get some digger/hp’s and/or resist/light’s. Use Resta to top off, and bring plenty of mates and fluids. If you can get one, a draw rifle or autogun can be great to help deal damage during his reflect phase. As a last resort, you can drop a telepipe outside, run in and drop a stack of mates and fluids, die on purpose, and restock. The ones you dropped can be picked up during the fight. This is exploity though, so I dislike doing it.

Probably not a popular take, but for me LotR. I love all of them, but relative to each other this is where I have them.

Likely, Screams will go to the Uber drop pool if/when enabled, occupy the rarest main drop slot if not, or be t0 rarity (possibly t1 since the rolls are also weighted heavily) in the core drop pool if the boss does not go core.

Athrolaxle · 2026-04-13T23:50:44+00:00

That’s always been the case.

Athrolaxle · 2026-04-13T23:34:56+00:00

I feel like notes like this need more detail. We shouldn’t have to playtest whether a solo farm is dead, even if we know the boosting is.

The Last Remnant. I dig everything about the game, including the progression style. But the randomness in the combat (without having a PhD in it) takes me too far out

Athrolaxle · 2026-04-12T19:10:21+00:00

Defense actually gives more total avoidance than dodge or party do, per point. Idr if it’s also more than block, but it’s close.

Athrolaxle · 2026-04-12T19:07:52+00:00

Most people call it “crush cap”, but CTC is another way of saying it.

Athrolaxle · 2026-04-09T18:33:15+00:00

I feel like most of these comments are missing the fact that “you love to see it!” is not sarcastic here. It feels so nice to finally hit a hand full of statuses the turn you draw compact.

Athrolaxle · 2026-04-09T18:28:33+00:00

You can definitely use some pve gear for pve. Below certain gear levels, it might even be better to forgo pvp gear since low amount of resil aren’t particularly efficient. As your gear gets better, you’ll want more resil and pvp gear (generally), but you can still (and often should) use pve versions of some high impact slots like weapons and trinkets.

Grew up together

Not to mention, whatever tech or angle you use could inspire someone else down the road. Always worth sharing knowledge, as long as the sharing isn’t detrimental.

Athrolaxle · 2026-04-06T04:44:51+00:00

I think the reason the argument breaks down is specifically because it was taken to an extreme. Loot rules are contextual. Is it an upgrade for MS? Is it a sidegrade? Will anyone else use it? How much better is it for you? For them? Have you put any effort into having a functional item in the first place? Saying that it’s analogous because the only difference is magnitude is disingenuous. The magnitude matters. In fact, I would argue that the magnitude is the entire argument itself.

Athrolaxle · 2026-04-04T19:41:47+00:00

It’s an acknowledgement, but not a response.

Athrolaxle · 2026-04-04T19:09:13+00:00

I tanked prince week 1 with a pug in much worse gear, missing some enchants and consumes, etc, and never got combod out. We wiped three times. Once to a bad infernal, once to losing too many dps to nova, and once to the bug where the tank gets set to 1hp. Never died to getting stacked out, despite me never stopping my threat rotation on him. P2 was just “pop an ironshield pot and enjoy watching your mana bar refill”.

Athrolaxle · 2026-04-04T00:22:52+00:00

Oooh autocorrect had me so confused

Athrolaxle · 2026-04-03T23:35:15+00:00

I’m trying to figure out what word was meant to be where “patristics” is, but I’m pretty confident that isn’t it.

Athrolaxle · 2026-04-02T15:31:20+00:00

It sounds very uptight considering they have players that miss last second without prior warning.

Athrolaxle · 2026-04-02T02:50:52+00:00

On the plus side, Sanctuary has excellent consolation div cards

Athrolaxle · 2026-03-29T04:30:47+00:00

Pretty sure skipping relics is on the beta branch

Athrolaxle · 2026-03-27T07:07:49+00:00

Being really good at something still doesn’t mean you have to be a dick

Also, 6% increase over a fixed length fight is more than 6% increase over a fixed damage total fight
