Renown tactics use different slots than normal tactics. So basically, let's say I'm playing a Woodsman WL. Instead of having to drop Moraledrain to slot Loner to achieve the same damage that a mara does WITH moraledrain slotted- I can slot Loner in the renown tactic slot and be on par with Mara damage while slotting Moraledrain aswell.
oh that sounds cool. is loner anywhere near on par with mara in wb with the recent changes?lefze wrote: ↑Sat Sep 08, 2018 10:45 amRenown tactics use different slots than normal tactics.

That's all there is to it. At this point it's just there to let WL not waste a tactic slot on Loner for builds that have no use for the pet in the first place.
Bullshit almost every dps can heal themsels with tact and skills, some can tank as tank. So argument invalid, especialy when you go full DPS in spec not a hybrid.Aurandilaz wrote: ↑Sat Sep 08, 2018 10:43 am
because "hybrids" / "support dps" classes are not supposed to be able to have similar dps output as real "pure" dmg dealer classes. Healers will retain their CC tools, their detaunting options, their survival kits, their rezzing rights, their buffs and heal possibilities - sure they might be weaker, but they exist. Pure dps do not get those in any form.
But a larger loss of healing capacity, well its a trade-off, you get 4th tactic that might compensate by giving new healing options or new dmg options, it's a choice - you wouldn't maybe want the renown tactic always on, but it's a juicy carrot suitable for many spec options.
Back in the day besides regular 4 tactic slots, you had 2 tome ones, and 1 renown one if i recall correctly.
No. Survivability is lower due to monstro proc and damage is surprisingly low even with spirit damage (BW pressure is like.. 3-5x better, for a rough comparison).
The renown tactic slot is a vestige of the old tiered renown system where you had to spend X number of points in tier one renown buffs before you could spend some in t2 then t3.
It's better now. Pre-mitigation numbers are on par with Mara with both in moraledrain spec. I suspect post-mitigation will be significantly lower and with more variance due to no equivalent of 50% armorpen tactic.
Iirc Azra stated that this week no big changes will come, so that the Q&A tomorrow isn't to focused around those changes.
