Captain tanking needs a nerf!

[Ethrildar]

You've swapped to ad hominem attacks now huh.

I have no issues whatsoever calling you out on the trash you continually spout, call that a personal attack or anything else you like. If you talk BS, I'm going to call "BS." If it bothers you, apply some critical thinking.

You're right on one front and that's the fact that I haven't played champ in years...

Or any other class, that much is painfully obvious at this point, you've as much as beaten us half to death with it by now.

May I recommend you two try a few other games. Why don't you both give WoW a shot?

No, thanks, I'm good. I play plenty of games from shooters to multiple other MMOs but their class design choices are completely and utterly irrelevant to this game. If you want to play WoW, go ahead and play WoW? If you want LotRO to be a clone of WoW, again, why are you even here?

Heph might learn some basics about proactive healing

Of every player to post in this thread (and many, many other forum threads) I don't see many that post more coherent, well thought-out advice and information than Heph, he has a very deep understanding of the mechanics of the game, and individual class dynamics, as well as a really solid knowledge on all of trait trees he's claimed to know, backed up specifically with verifiable information in each post, quite the opposite of yourself, interestingly enough; your posts continually hinge on derailing the topic at hand with hyperbole and hearsay, never once being backed up by any actual facts or figures or real world (in game speaking), repeatable and viable scenarios.

You both seem way too wrapped up in the current meta of LOTRO and I think you need the perspective.

I commend your efforts Eth and Heph. The absolute tripe that’s been written is unreal.

Glad it's not just us that have noticed it.

Oh no, I'm recommending buffing healers and nerfing one tank who happens to have too much support.

So you've gone from "SSG don't have the capabilities to buff 5 tank classes so we should just nerf one" To "I want a fundamental redesign from the ground up on how every healing class in the game functions and a complete re-work on group content dynamics nearly a decade and a half into the game!"

Uh... You know SSG are basically a skeleton crew, right? How do you think the player-base will even react to "Hey we've decided to ditch every single other project so that our three-man dev team can spend a year re-designing how the entire game works, oh and if you play a healer or a tank, good news, we're totally changing how your class plays which you may or may not like, but WoW does it this way so we've decided that is now how we're going to do it regardless of what you think!"?
