Idk how this has anything to do with the thread :SMadcatmech wrote:Collateral did you happen to analyse skullthumper ticks? Were thay a noticable chunk of the dmg when focusing down targets compared to morales?
I don't focus on dealing normal dmg in rvr, since as a tank there are more important roles to focus on. But skull thumper damage is certainly very big. You can for example look at the lords in keeps. Bo probably deals the most damage out of every other class. When a mass of players hits the lord, skull thumper procs for over 1k dmg per second (in giant blobs it is pribably around 2k), you just see the ticks flying. In rvr though, as I said, I don't focus much on it, but I do put skull thumpers on targets that are important. But the thing is I don't think the damage is that huge since there isn't 40 people hitting a single target. It's certainly nice damage, but it just can't beat morales, not by a long shot. In my enemy log, morales are still on top I think, I will check it on next wb.
As for our uber tank warband, yea it's slow moving, but that's why we had rift. And I think we needed at least one other rift. If building this wb again, I would take 2 maguses and maybe 2 sh or maras. They can either st focus, or assist with morales and other utility they have (like morale drain and bad gas).
