Brothers of Arms

[Alb]

From a Conversaion I had with Atkara about Gyas & Arbanus:

Gyas and Arbanus will not be a problem, as long as tanks realize firm aggro is the way and I mean firm aggro. DTs tank with "arms" (instead of pestilence), if they want to keep gyas at bay, they must allow guards to raise aggro high and follow them there.
Loose tanking never worked on either arbanus or gyas

i'll explain:
I'm quite aware of templars issues with aggro, especially if they don't have the right AAs. What actually happens in arbanus, is that guards are forced to keep aggro lower than usual, to give the templars the chance to switch and this is not working (Atkara tanked Arby as a Guard). Templars can have so high crits that they should be able to switch at any moment, with covenant of arms on. Instead, they go in with pestilence, as if like they're going to solo tank
I see their issues (**he plays a DT as well). Issues that should be able to be over, with pressing strikes, decisive strikes, void of madness and probably warmaster, all maxed out and of course, pact of malacodor and covenant of arms. I just want this chinese torment to be over with and see BoA going past Gyas

To [Atkara]: mind if I put your comments into the councils Gyas discussion thread ?
[Atkara]: not at all. you might as well reform them at your own discretion

Another thing I've seen with TS, is that the tanks stay in all the time on arbanus. if a tank has draw on him, the rest of the team will simply not approach!

To [Atkara]: so the tanks stay in in Arby ... when blood draw comes the rest of the team lines up but tanks stay? I thought there is an issue with someone facing Arby with blood draw on them
[Atkara]: blood draw spreads on the tanks, but they can take it. If ToSes can have an idol of dark rejuvenation over there and set it off after the blodd draw blast, this should make things easier for the tanks. A thing I've done in person to know it works

[Atkara]: this ofcourse means to raise the toses workload a bit, not much though
To [Atkara]: both ToSs should be fine ... with that I'd think
