I Created a Tank Simulator - Optimize & Compare Your Tank Build!

[@grobsXO]

*Link in the Video Description!* What I forgot to mention is that the color between the damage numbers indicates which build takes less damage.

[@fermioff]

You're amazing! Thank you so much! I had been looking for a proper spreadsheet for the first couple of weeks until recently. I've started a spreadsheet for calculating evasions, endurance, defense, and resistances, but it is a bit messy and mostly incomplete thus far lol

[@pinie111]

Good stuff. This looks really cool. It's such a pain to try and test things in this game to find out how effective your build is.

[@grobsXO]

thats why I did it :D

[@iceman_official]

bro this channel it's just gold

[@dudo4ok]

Awesome, thank you kind sir for sharing this, now I have a calculator to back up my ingame testing results

[@grobsXO]

nice. be aware this is always average damage thats calculated not the actual numbers the pop up ^^

[@GiverrionBG]

Solid job sir

[@EkoPrasetyo-yt7iq]

thank you so much mate!

[@lorgren4002]

Thanks for sharing this :)

[@f3nixfire]

This is super awesome! Can you add the evasion and passives for it into the simulator? Im going evasion tank so it would be cool to see how tanky that might be. Thank you for putting this together!

[@grobsXO]

I had that in :D maybe I could bring that back in :)

[@f3nixfire]

@grobs4678 that would be great! I really want to go that route cuz it's a different approach from what most are doing in goin for endurance. Would be good to see if it's really a good idea or if I'm dumb for doing it lol.

[@Tom67Slick]

Can we use the swirling essence robe and field general greaves for the pve bis without the world boss weapons? I noticed you only had that combination with the world boss weapons, the dungeon weapons use field general chest and divine justiciar pants

[@dalajay]

im curious why you made the calculator for only fighting ranged targets. Should add a greatsword weapon combo into the standard example sheet. And where's evasion???

[@grobsXO]

In large scale PVP its the biggest threat for tanks^^ but could for sure add this

[@andresantos9684]

Can you update questlog in the equilibrated build with runes and t2. I don't know if the build have change with the new content. Thank you

[@quirara]

Hi Grobs! really thankfull for this guides and help that only you give us, the tanks. There is an updated guide for the gear and skills for PVE? thanks!

[@grobsXO]

They are still up to date. I will update it when things are changing :)

[@snoopkun]

amazing video! as i dont care about pvp, i'm minmaxing waiting for challenge trials Dec 5. did you consider using bastion with damage and CDR new specializations? i'm struggling with point/slot pressure of what brings to maximize dps direct/indirectly.

[@grobsXO]

I updated my skill specializations on questlog. yes you should play with both cooldown reductions from blood devotion and great fury. just put the points from provoking roar away. they are not really needed

[@LogyKing]

Insane video as always, but would be insane to know the skill you use in pvp

[@grobsXO]

I put 2 something on questlog now

[@lesbiannoyed]

Nice! you should link your YT in the top of the first sheet :)

[@grobsXO]

yeah... just did it :)

[@Skyhighx7]

Endurance or evasion ?

[@TheH3idy]

How can we give you feedback on this? Directly here in the comments? So for me personally, I am more of an PvE andy but also interessed in PvP. So, esp. for Tanks, Evasion would be nice to add in the future. Another thing: How is shield block calculated? How can a shield block chance (increase) influence one single hit? Thats something I dont get it, in the simulator. Afaik, there is a chance (shild block chance) to reduce the incoming dmg for 40% - So one single hit gets either blocked or not, but in the calculater dmg goes down with higher shield block chance, thats why i am curios. Or does it influence the blocked dmg aswell?

[@TheH3idy]

Also: Maybe add on the first sheet, the "dmg type" for each attack for better visibility (Melee Attack, Ranged Attack, Magic Attack) Minor optional thing: Change the order of the defense stats to Melee, Ranged, Magic (Defense and Endurance). I think this is the order ingame and on questlogg aswell

[@grobsXO]

it gives you always the average damage you will take. its doing the same for the crit & endurance. sometimes it will crit and sometimes it wont crit, sometimes it will block and sometimes it wont block. thats why when you simulating those kind of stuff you have to take the average damage. and if you increase the shieldblock chance then you will block on average more often which reduces the average damage. some nice feedback :) thx

[@TheH3idy]

@@grobsXO Alright, yeah. That's what I suspected, but I still wanted to ask. I was just a little confused 'cause on the "backend" sheets is the the number of projectiles listed. In my personal opinion, I find it some kind of confusing. Maybe you can just specify both numbers, blocked and unblocked dmg. Edit: And one thing for future - How about HP and eHP. Its often used in an pve kind of scenario, but in PvP also worth to look at, since HP is important, too.

[@grobsXO]

@@TheH3idy really good idea :) I like it!

[@maurycy181]

Hey! What is better to Carry in pvp and pve when playing sns/gs. I was always carrying gs causę i thought my skills are stronger but now i see there is no diffrence and when i use shield and sword i can survive more mobs waves

[@grobsXO]

always have you SNS as primary weapon because otherwise you cant block ^^

[@maurycy181]

@ so i played 200 hours wrong… i was wondering how am i so easy to kill with 3200 cp

[@Skyblade_88]

i want explain on the skill u use on pvp ... u almost do no damage but alot of aoe and slow an enemy

[@grobsXO]

Usually with my group we jump into huge clumps. You will be CCed so many times. you will tank all tornados and so many stuns. You need to have impactful spells that have in every engage a usage. If I for example can only charge guillotine blade 1 out of 4 times... for me this is a dead spell. thats why I am not taking it anymore if I am in the frontline. So I only use skills that I can always use and have a good impact. And thats what I am currently running. But I am trying also a lot of stuff

[@TheH3idy]

Good job so far, but this is only for endurance, right?

[@grobsXO]

what do you mean? its taking all your defense values into account. not only endurance. or what do you mean?

[@davideosproduction749]

@@grobsXO hes asking about evasion, only endurance and no evasion stats to put in.

[@MIN-MAX-Theory]

@@grobsXO Can you also calculate evasion ?

[@holdup3809]

evasion in tank is better in pve

[@grobsXO]

you dont need endurance or evasion for pve ^^ this whole calculations is only for PVP

[@MrEmerald73]

It's essential for mana I'v noticed. Especially if you have a bad healer. Alot of passives tied to evasion.

[@tarkovgroupie]

This is great but why no melee evasion?
