wohooo! Thanks for the insight on fortified nature mate. I knew it wasn’t great already, but this takes the cake 😭. GG The highest i saw was three stacks in there. Definitely not consistent enough for fortified nature. Again, thanks for covering and spreading word, feeling sad for miseducated tanks in nw rn :)
No worries 🙂 I was actually surprised myself at how inconsistent it was when I started testing properly. There's clear damage registered which isn't counting as a hit on the Fortified 🤔
@Trick_415 yeah, I mean there is situations where it might be viable but I suspect it may be a bit bugged at the moment with those hits not registering. I would usually prefer Flash Freeze anyway though, that damage reduction is just too good
Hey im personally using kinda same build over gear, but went for max hp... With all full group/proc im around 2.5m hp. And its working badass ! Thx for video and explain for fortified.... That a good thing i'll change on my fighter
Have you tried living hex to see if it’s worth it for aggro? Planning to make a tank and since everyone seems to struggle with aggro, I’ve been thinking it could be the most useful if it works well. Assuming we get more stats and can cap our defense stuff later on I could see it being bis (if it works well enough)
I think the overall team benefit from Flash Freeze is worth more than making aggro management a bit with easier Living Hex to be honest. Remember as the IL goes up the dps defensive stats keep dropping lower. Aggro isn't that hard to maintain, on normal size bosses KV usually does the trick. On bigger bosses where KV is usable just need to time things correctly. A solid anvil + Maniticores + retaliate in the artifact window is usually enough to hold and build threat. Don't worry too much about capping stats out, I do no healer runs without capped stats, it's more about technique and stamina management than capping stats. Good luck with the tank 🙂
@@Merrilow fair point, i aint the tank main so i'll take ur word for it. i really just hate chance proc items but fortified stacks dont last long enough.
Yes finally nice build. I've had fortified nature proc to max stacks every time idk problem I'm having is losing aggro so quick it gives me a headache fun to watch DPS drop like flies tho
@@joey-english5096 Cheers 😄 might be worth trying the Zariel test and seeing if it's working how you expect it to 🤔 Yeah aggro is a bit tricky with the extra Dps stats, need to time the hard taunts well. If you can fire off Earthshaker during an arti call with the manticore ring on you can build up some really nice threat as well
Fortified nature has rly god value in many boss fights where there are mobs or dots on you, which is many fight nowdays, however I also dont think you should rely on it for stats of full stacks, thing about flash freeze is that it may or may not proc but for single target boss fights like mtic boss 2 or last boss mlmd etc. it can be better. Dungeon like mds fortified nature has clear edge imo due to boss 2 and 3 not rly dealing dmge to tank and there are ads that keep procing your fortified nature since most dmge taken by tank in mds is from demos if you actually agro them, and while your fn would be proced most likely from all the mobs, applying ff to demos beffore they die will be virtually impossible. Zariel which is single mob fight would be 1 of examples where Flash would be more useful which is where you tested it. Anyway using one over other will not make or break your build rly. Ik you mentioned fortified is better in aoe, just not shure how you came to conclusion that ff would be better option for mds. But than again you know best for yourself.
@@jale8455 yeah there's certainly places where it might be more consistent. I don't know if you noticed in the vid but there was clear hits coming through that weren't registering for the fortified proc, so I think that's probably a much bigger concern 🤔 Even in those boss situations with mobs I'd probably favour the Flash Freeze personally but each to their own
@@Merrilow Waith so it might be bugged ? I thought in video when you said no stacks I thought stacks expired. Also yeah I recall some of your vids in past, you are super fking tanky like that no healer mlmd etc, so build is great fs.
@jale8455 yeah I think fortified might be, there were clearly hits that weren't registering, had a similar thing in the training room as well. Wondering if a hit lands inside the 1 sec cooldown it keeps refreshing it or something 🤔 So yeah stacks dropped off but it looks like they shouldn't have
Thank you for clearing up the air. Fortified Nature looks very nice from your testing.
Thanks for listening so closely to what I was saying 😂😂
Ha! Good stuff man, really
Lol cheers Gus 😉

funny I was testing it this weekend and it was rarely proc'in consistently for me. Flash freeze seems a bit better so I was using it.

There it is! Making a few changes on my build to get it close to this! Gg ty

Oh damn that's a lot of hp 😄 did you go full fortified on the insigs?

We all used to run Providence in PvP. It used to be OP.
I feel it's massively underrated for PvE as well, especially for the no healer runs

@Cribbzy yeah I think fortified may be bugged as well tbh, doesn't seem to be registering some hits
@ yea neverwinter has no bugs, just extra features ;)
@Cribbzy so true 😂 you might enjoy the next video, pretty sure we just broke the MDS Speed Record

Combat balance is that just rating that needs to be close together or does it have to be overall % aswell
@joey-english5096 just the rating, it's pretty forgiving as well, you still get most of the benefit if you're a few thousand off

Cheers man 😄
What are you using for ability score i Will make the same but i have to choose in the beginning to make my character dex and char or dex and wis
The ability score doesn't really matter in this game 🤔 the most useful would be Dex and Cha in this instance for the initial, then Str and Con after
What buffs potions/foods do you use?
@@sortastoned5038 Elixir of steadfast devotion, chain of scales, either fizzy brew or caprese, crafted potion of deflect rank 13+
What weapon skin is that @merrilow,
@@John-wx4yg that is the Ebony Spear (from Undermountain Master Expeditions) with the Frost weapon enchantment
Legendary version of those pants are better
@@michaelmartinez9011 absolutely, much better ratings 🙂 unfortunately I didn't have them when we did the no healer run
