RoR Guide

Good guide, noticed some inaccuracies on Runepriest section :

- example for Stoutness of stone is Stagger duration for 3s instead of 6s (you typed 4.5s duraction)

- M3 Mountain Spirit doesnt stack with armor potions or other buffs, if that didnt change since last year I tested it.

- Regenerative shielding doesnt stack with other armor bonuses (potions).

TBF, only IB bonuses seems to be stacking with everything else, runepriest doesnt have that luxury sadly.

i think this is great, I have a couple of suggestions for tank basics:

1. hammer home that guard damage cannot be mitigated, this is extremely important and not particularly intuitive

2. interrupt chaining - by cycling taunt, kd and even a punt straight into a nearby obstacle you can shut down a caster for upwards of 10 seconds. with a 2nd interrupt (ie. vicious slash, jibblies) you can basically keep a caster switched off permanently. if a single bomber is ripping your sc team to pieces this is often the most useful thing you can do and I very rarely see any other tank do this

3. talk a little about initial guard priority, it can be a tricky decision in pubs when you just have random classes and no big mdps. you often have to look at someone's weapons or even inspect them to see who's likely your best guardee

4. talk about switching sc groups, joining groups with no tanks, leaving groups with several tanks, moving to be with mdps, etc.

I tried to be fairly vague as the scope of the guide is quite large already but i'll probably look to add your suggestions in time as I keep getting recommendations to make it more comprehensive.

Alright I'll re-check my info. Tbh I didn't re-check the RP section after I wrote it until yesterday. I usually end up kind of busy around Halloween week but I have free time again so I'll get back on it. As far as Mountain Spirit, I'll have to test it myself because I'm just that kind of person - I would find it surprising if it doesn't stack though, being a morale.

Yes I tested it yesterday, and still armor bonuses from tactic Regenerative Shielding and M2 Mountain spirit are not stacking with either each other, nor armor potions, despite they should be.
Rule is usually tactics are stacking with potions, and Morales are stacking with both. Reality here is a gain of around +300 armor for tactic proc, and +800 for M2 use, over standard armor Potion.

Hope it's an issue wich will be fixed with ability system rewrite in a foreseeable future...
