Having said that I think some people are undervaluing the power of some of the non weapon benefits of having a Jyre right now.
Cool skelly illusion is OP.
Having said that I think some people are undervaluing the power of some of the non weapon benefits of having a Jyre right now.
its like a flat 10% iirc, which with old robe was about half of the total hits you would recieve. maybe that is your confusion?Its also slightly worse mitigation/avoidance than using a shield.
If we went this route, yes.Would a non-sword Jyre still be able to trigger Blazewind?
I have actually been thinking this over for a long time now, and I think sometime in the future (maybe) there will be a way to get the passive benefits (and detriments) of Jyre without having to hope a really rare item drops. What I mean by this is you could complete the Jyre quest and receive an ammo slot item that did everything the current Jyre does except you can't use the sword part of it. Eventually, and maybe sooner than you might think, using Jyre as a weapon is no longer going to be a thing anyway. Having said that people who went down this route would be able to turn their ammo only item in to a full fledge Jyre if they ever do get the rare quest piece, so that way they cannot lose out on anything.

There just are times when several mechanics stack up, its murphy's law, or even just a series of "lucky" hits from a very hard hitting mob, and tank is down, and we meditate ect. for 10+ minuts, before we can go again...
This isn't really true, a majority of the time a tank dies is due to either negligence, or stacked heals. I don't know of a single mob in this game that is capable of actually "one rounding" a tank.I would like to think that if the 100% deathsave didn't exist, many of the bosses that hit for those absurd #'s would likely and or should be turned down damage wise to make it within reason.
gotta remember that a lot of new fights were put in or tweaked after Jyre was a thing and it was likely taken into account for tank damage from bosses.
Keep in mind that you guys only use 4 healers on a fair bit of encounters which leaves a lot less leeway with healing.
I remember Duke Thanes on tier used to be a dice roll, and was a fight that really kept healers on their toes. I believe it did have a chance that the tank was going to die, and there wasnt much you could do about itThis isn't really true, a majority of the time a tank dies is due to either negligence, or stacked heals.

I think that most of that word doc was actually just lore, much of which I never even got around to adding in to the game even to this day for various reasons. As far as the deity spec penalty you are the only person who could claim to not know about it. Everyone else knew exactly what they were signing up for.Marza when I finished the Jyre quest, most of the quest wasn't even properly integrated into the game, eg. you sent me the quest dialogue in a word doc. I definitely did not knowingly sign up for a -4% deity spec penalty.
With that being said, I agree the item is dumb for balance, although the novelty is very neat and hope it is able to stay around.
P.S. I only read a few posts from people who aren't droolcups so I'm sure I missed something someone will say is important.
