I am a returning warrior to Everquest who use to often raid with freelance. I have been playing for the last 3 or so months, but before that, I hadn’t played since 2014. Since I recently became semi-retired, I have a bit more free time to play. My main character is a warrior that is currently 106, but frankly, my merc tanks better than me. I have been doing some reading and been learning some new things about the game that may address my issue.
Recently, based on some reading I have identified some possible causes
Equipment......Obvious issue and obvious how to improve.
Heroic stats.
It appears that Heroic stats increase the base stats of your character. The primary one’s that a warrior should pursue seems to be stamina, agility, and dexterity as it would increase the available stats of your skills.
As an example, my stats appear to be 1371/ 1156 +306 for stamina. Does that mean my real base is 1462? Therefore, I have excess stamina on my equipment? The base of 1156 Plus 306? I did notice that the + number increased when I added some heroic augments to my equipment.
My agility is 1150/800+292. Using the prior analogy that would infer that my base agility is 1092 meaning that I can add more agility to improve my defensive mitigation and avoidance.
Heroic mods:
Now if you look at my heroic mods, it says
Avoidance 150/300
Combat effects 100/125, etc.
Again, I read an article by a warrior talking about raid tanks, and he recommended getting your Heroic agility up 1000 and your stamina and dexterity up 800 as a minimum. Does that refer to the 15/300 or does that refer to the +306 for stamina and +292 for agility?
Now having said all of this, how do I improve all of my needed stats to improve as a tank? The + number appears to be increased when I use heroic augments. The Heroic stats such as 150/300 I have no idea how to improve them as I haven’t seen anything that I have added improve those numbers as of yet.
Finally, I finally figured out the setup for doing multi-key binding, but again, I am not fully understanding the setup. I did read one that was posted her by Zaknaffein, but it is a bit out of date.
My current setup for defensive is as follows:
Tempetestous, steadfast, last stand, warlords bravery, armour of darkened runes.
Please correct any of my misunderstandings or disabuse me of my theories, but I would appreciate any advice or suggestion.
Thanks
Dammar
