3 seconds of AD, with how much lag that occurs during a boss fight, does not equate what a Wd/W tank can do for dps and actual aggro generation, imo. Already finishing up leveling my Wd/W so I can make the move soon enough. :dash:

Wd/S is most beneficial to the group and best overall tank now, I would say, but I'm not making a new set of chain gear.

Let me humor you. Even if both Wd/W and Wd/S are better that does not mean K/W is dead like you said before. Yeah it's not so OP like before that it was considered a necessity. But it's still very viable endgame tank. If you disagree, you should log on to Artemis and ask Kanu how to play K/W.

lol youre cute Magio. Ofc K/W still viable, but it's not the best, why do you play m/w and not w/m like you used to? cause its better. It may be an exaggeration that K/W is 'dead.' I'd admit that but it still doesn't change the fact, it isn't the best tank to use anymore, and since that's all I do, unlike Kanu who has multiple sets of gear, RL $$$, I have to find another route to best help out my guild.

And remember, not all guilds have the DPS, PPK does. This nerf, affected you guys the very least, compared to everyone's ability to clear.

Not judging him for his use of income towards this game, just not my priority.

I play both actually. Just last night I ran as W/M.

Title "The death of K/W". It's not dead.

Quoted from "ruisen2000"

I'm curious, how many german guilds can clear CoEH though? Even pre K/W nerf, only 2 guilds on US can clear it, based on BB's thread.


~18 guilds across the 10 servers so far according to the forums, with the last clear just 3 weeks ago on Dochas, the youngest server.

highest seem to be Muinin (3 guilds that did CoE-HM + 1 guild that did PoM + HoE but not yet CoE) and Ionsai (3 guilds capable of CoE / Halls)

average playercount online on a given evening is not much higher than on US (as in players online at that time concurrently) though ...

so you're saying during peak playing time for US server, german servers still have more players online? that's how im reading that anyways.

and gameforge is delaying merges why?

local evening of course - that much common sense was implied.

8 PM Germany is 2PM Eastern or 11 AM Pacific
8 PM Eastern Time is 2 AM Germany
8 PM Pacific is 5 AM Germany

It would hardly make sense to compare it ignoring timezones, no, German servers at 2am dont have more players online than US at 8PM Eastern ... let alone at 8PM Pacific which is 5am

Peak hours are probably 1900-2400 in each specific timezone I guess where the difference is not big.

I have seen the videos, he also has aggro problems. Yes k/w is not dead but knights need to see a a buff in general. This class is getting very frustrating to play at an end game level and it is very discouraging to see how easily wardens can hold aggro compared to knights.

You clearly have no idea what's going on, so don't go assuming things you know nothing about. Our 5 DPS in our group 1 get Wd/S, Ch/P, Wl/M, K/P while Kanu gets nothing in group 2 cept instruments. The disparity in buffs is so huge and even then it's rare when he loses aggro. When we do world bosses with fewer people and he's in the party that gets alt buffs he never loses aggro.

From what i've seen in Magio and maimed vids, only one who usually gets aggro are the wd/w(except bb one time on 3rd boss somehow!?) xD wd/w is stupidly high aggro without buff alts anyway due to aggro mods on dps skills. Thank god in my guild we're mainly magical dps cause our tanks are crap :D

I don't use recon runes anymore. Kanu is a good tank... could use some character development... but he's a good tank.

All about loot runes, or more patk. Anything to bridge the gap between bad dps and very bad dps.

You sir have a stick in a very uncomfortable place. I've seen the videos. I know what is going on. The same thing happens across all servers with the tank being in the second group while the dps get all the buffs unless there is room. I never said Kanu was not a good tank. I merely said that he has aggro problems. :dash:

My aggro problems are mainly because of low fps, but that is my individual issue.

@Magio

Do you know if Kanu has a YouTube channel? I am interested in seeing how he stats his gear.

Kanoob does not make youtube videos, and up till recently he used almost all level 75-80 gear. I know he's been working on replacing pieces since pillars came out but he's almost as slow as Magio with gear... (picky wtv ;D )
