Idea to make skilled guardian a raid role ?

[nig]

<DIV>After several though and i must admit that EQ1 raiding is quite borring atm.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>MT is healed till mob is dead, very few enconter need split tanking ( VoX and drayek atm ).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>What is missing is some challenging fight where several tactics need to be used, like split tanking, or tank switching mid fight.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>here is some raw idea of skills that could help us to get a role and help devs to design new enconter.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>- First only one skill per tier that upgrade other tiers, kinda sad to have to wait for 4 skils to refresh to stack them.</DIV> <DIV>- Second a Really nice taunt is needed, Rescue seems nice but i should work allways so we could do some tank switching. That way enconter could Death Touch MT and we could still continue</DIV> <DIV>- Allows buff to be Raid casted, Actually you build a MT group with the right class and then other get what is left,  so if we want challenging multi Tanking mob, we need several MT group setup and that not going to happen with the 24 ppl raid limit, each tank in each group should get the same buff so they can tank as well.</DIV> <DIV>- Design a way to allow Tank to be 99% immune to any attack for a short time , that may bring nice combo linked with the rescue spell. ( On second though a skill able to freeze an enconter from doing any dmg AND from getting raid damage for a short time ( 15s max ) at the expense of raid loosing power each sec that spell is active&nbsp<img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV><p>Message Edited by nigni on <span class=date_text>06-21-2005</span> <span class=time_text>05:51 AM</span>

<P>K'Dal involves some measure of constant Tank Switching.</P> <P>Nagalik involves random aggro.</P> <P>And I read at least one Dev post that indicated they wanted to involve off-tanking in more encounters.</P> <P>Though, Vox doesn't require an offtank if the MT is able to get aggro on the adds quickly. It's just an issue of aggro control.</P> <P> </P>

<P>Make Rescue like Area Effect Taunt was in EQ1, make it 15 min recycle but puts you at the top of Hate list for the mob when you use it.  Problem solved.  You talk about beinvulnerable for 15 secs reminds me of usin Fortitude in EQ1 where you Riposted all attacks for 12 secs and was a GREAT way to build massive agro on a Named and also allowed the CHR to get going before you started taking any serious dmg. </P> <P> </P> <P>I for one do not raid yet with my guild but I think it is extremely important to get good ideas to the Devs for them to create some FUN, CHALLENGING and Exciting FOR ALL content for everyone on the raid to enjoy.</P> <P> </P> <P>Drozan</P> <P>48 Guardian Butcherblock</P>
