Incredibly well done vid, both in presentation as well as the info provided!

[@MrMojitoTV]

@@DukeSloth approved by the 🦥👑 Thanks a lot!

[@BeeBopGaming]

Great editing, information and presented in a way I can understand. Thanks for the info. 🙏

[@MrMojitoTV]

@@BeeBopGaming if Beebop understands, then I know it’s right 👌🏼 (😘)

[@fullmetalathlete]

I love this kind of data breakdown! This seems like a great change. Great video!

[@MrMojitoTV]

I agree it looks like a good change ! Thank you :)

[@R01u]

Nice video! Surely with the grit changes+ taunt on HA means Greatsword is the best tanking main hand now?

[@MrMojitoTV]

I would agree yup ! Definitely the most solid one on paper

[@TheJK89]

Nice info. As a main tank since launch this info can be useful.

[@MrMojitoTV]

@@TheJK89 great ✌🏼 no excuse to lose aggro now

[@bangpaulluu3379]

This makes the game much easier for new players, but I'm going to miss the hardcore days

[@MrMojitoTV]

I agree, although I would say not much of the content we have had stayed « hardcore » for long, once you get knowledge

[@sparamuta9830]

Thank you so much for this excellent and well-made video! It's a pleasure to follow your content, always filled with clear and relevant information. You can tell you're always diving deep into the game's database, and you share your knowledge in an incredible way! Thanks to your videos, players' understanding of the game will really improve. I hope to see many more, keep up the great work!😍

[@MrMojitoTV]

Thank you so much for this one! Will do my best to keep it up then 🫡

[@The_Captainn]

Good find, I've been digging into hours upon hours of information since I haven't played since before Season 1 and no one has mentioned this. Subbed, keep that information flowing!

[@MrMojitoTV]

@@The_Captainn aye aye Captain, will do 🫡

[@FinchFinley]

less aggro stealing by dps is better experience overall especailly when beloved is gone

[@MrMojitoTV]

I agree, it's a smart balance change, since I would guess many random groups are struggling with it the most

[@dsteffens]

Agree, this is a great change

[@zomgfreakinglol]

Informative and educational! Excellent video!

[@MrMojitoTV]

Exactly what I aimed for! Thanks a lot :))

[@MrGrimord]

Great video. I wonder if Flail and Shield could be a great alternative to S+S as a main tank weapons.

[@MrMojitoTV]

Flail definitely is a good tank weapon, the downside is the low damage you have I think Greatsword will be the best and easiest option

[@eathelyn_enavin]

Great info, thanks :)

[@MrMojitoTV]

@@eathelyn_enavin you are welcomeeeee

[@brandonlopez2261]

At that point decent tanks dont need to run hated or despised and can run other perks in its place

[@MrMojitoTV]

Yeah, it was kind of needed in most of groups since they removed the beloved perk, so that is good !

[@adrienwarad]

very nicely detailed ! thanks !

[@MrBalrogos]

Well aggro were already easy to hold, so I don't understand these changes and I was playing tank from begging, and I was first tank to use GS/WH in brimsone. But all this doesn't matter when Devs try kill the game and steal money from console players. Pc wait 8 months to just get no content, for crafting to be dead alongside of useless M3 dungs. 10 men raid without meaningful rewards and PvP zone which will be abused by groups is not a content

[@misterkage7530]

That is good to know being that I have been playing games since way back when and only play tanks in games. Love me some tanky tanky tanky in game. Thanks for the info bud!

[@MrMojitoTV]

@@misterkage7530 you are welcome ! Keep tanking !

[@Zackson_O.Connor]

is it true that you're forced to do pvp in order to be 725 GS?

[@MrMojitoTV]

No it is not true, you can also do the new raid (pve) to get 725 GS And even in the PvP FFA area, you can get your way to 725 items without doing PvP, it will just take longer (but your PvP will be on so care)

[@Zackson_O.Connor]

i see

[@mancheckitout]

Vey informative!

[@MrMojitoTV]

That was the idea so I am glad :)

[@pathos8398]

Hi! wanted to clarify this (im dyslexic) You mentioned that heavy attacks will generate taunt @8:13 Is this only if you have the gem? Or will all melee HA generate taunt with/without gems or even with other gems attached. Thanks!!

[@dan_mccoy]

Love this, thank you! I have been dabbling in tanking and its a daunting task in higher level mutations especially with people running low con builds etc so I welcome this change for sure!

[@MrMojitoTV]

@@dan_mccoy yup ! Even the blocking threat buff is good for more « passive » tanks, but also if you keep damaging, there you should keep it more easily!

[@Pudim996]

Best NW:A video I've seen so far

[@MrMojitoTV]

That’s because Paladin vid is not out yet

[@Pudim996]

@@MrMojitoTV that one will be the best comedy video since the game came out 😂

[@dellarosa1279]

Thanks for the video, very nice information and liked your editing and use of animations. Regarding the changes themselves, I will have to try them out to find out if aggro has become totally trivial for higher level PvE now, can't really say I felt problems in live version. But might be different for new people and more casual players of course. I really don't understand why they have done so much changes to s&s light and heavies tho. S&S was already a very dominating tanking weapon, now even more so, and it risks making the weapon unusable as a DPS alternative because of the aggro it creates. And why not doing the same for flail, a weapon already struggling more with aggro than s&s? Either way, will be interesting to test all of these things.

[@MrMojitoTV]

@@dellarosa1279 thank you !! I guess buffing SnS is good as we lose the 300con grit on LA, although that’s for 300con players. I agree that SnS DPS is gonna get hard, didn’t think about that, they probably should stop doing heavy for empower if it struggles too much, at least whirling blade is untouched

[@Afterhours.101]

yo this is a very well made video, nice job

[@MrMojitoTV]

@@Afterhours.101 thanks, glad you like it ✌🏼

[@germanxeagle1745]

So how about the lifestaff is it pve only? Ir does it mean i can push now without cd players back?

[@MrMojitoTV]

@@germanxeagle1745 didn’t test it out myself, but yeah it’s PvP too, and would guess without CD

[@MrHodge1]

Amazing video

[@MrMojitoTV]

@@MrHodge1 thanks man

[@Altarknight]

Hey very nice job what you did here but I would like to ask what about the flail cuz you just use a sword and shield the example and no flail at all

[@MrMojitoTV]

@@Altarknight Hey ! Thanks ! I talked exhaustively about all the things that change with the update, so it’s not really an example when I talk about sword. The only changes to flail are that the arcane dot does half the threat, and Heavy Attacks with carnelian will taunt for 0.5s like the other melee weapons, that’s all

[@Altarknight]

@@MrMojitoTV thank you

[@ABRISSEMALIK]

Le Best of the Best !! Merci pour tes lumières Monsieur Mojito !!

[@MrMojitoTV]

Merci !!

[@oldsenpai4337]

As a healer, its annoying to have a bad tank cause you end up taking aggro everytime.

[@MrMojitoTV]

@@oldsenpai4337 Yup, especially since the removal of Beloved perk, that’s good that they reduce the healer’s threat

[@cranknnutz]

Are taunts still delayed? I can remember when tank would lose aggro a taunt wouldn't work on the mobs until after some time. It's like the mobs had to finish whatever in progress action including attacking whoever stole aggro. I really didn't like it. I always expected taunts to be immediately effective.

[@MrMojitoTV]

@@cranknnutz yeah it should still be the case, mobs will end up their animation on their target before switching (for a lot of attacks at least)

[@bonbarmandrink]

These changes buff no-sword tanks too because of all the nerfs to heal's threat generation. Can be interesting having more GS/WH/GA/spear tanks

[@MrMojitoTV]

@@bonbarmandrink agreed, I think GS will be the best tank option overall as it doesn’t lose from the removing of Grit on LA at 300con

[@bonbarmandrink]

@@MrMojitoTV tu as raison. Tu es toujours un joueur full pve ou tu comptes te remettre au pvp comme à l'époque ?

[@MrMojitoTV]

@@bonbarmandrink J’aimerais bien refaire de la war ! Sûrement sur les fresh start avec T-Baguette on verra ! Mais c’est toujours compliqué en voulant être mage, les changements sur le FS vont peut être le rendre plus méta ! OPR et Arène je rageais trop sur les builds debiles, mais je vais sûrement m’y remettre avec le matchmaking

[@bonbarmandrink]

@@MrMojitoTV ok tbaguette est une option. Stv être dans une structure un peu plus viable long terme hésite pas à revenir vers moi jsuis dans une compa qui compte rester full fr. Avec les pros & cons qui va avec

[@SomeGuyFromUtah]

It's an important change with the Con/Grit changes I think. I used to just spam light attacks to keep aggro with sword... that might not be possible now all the time.

[@MrMojitoTV]

@@SomeGuyFromUtah yeah, sword tanking will probably have to be more defensive withou the grit, or better at dodging, so buffing it’s threat is a good way to keep it viable

[@pontuspesonen9417]

Great video! Now I can pick up the game again and pwn.

[@MrMojitoTV]

Waiting for you there

[@Hrodgir]

Absolutely goated! Does this kill your paladin tank with the healing aggro changes, or will you keep it alive with sheer force of will?

[@MrMojitoTV]

@@Hrodgir Man don’t ask me about it :(( Hard to tell for now, VG/LS tanking will be close to impossible yeah, I think flail paladin is fine, and HA taunt is very good for bosses where paladin was struggling to keep aggro because I couldn’t benefit from the reset of Bludgeon Overall should be still usable, was not playing 300con either

[@MrMojitoTV]

There is also to see if SnS DPS is gonna be tough, and stealing aggro too much, then this loses a bit the purpose of paladin to have extra dps There is also the buff to Leader of The Pack which is big to make Flail give 20% empower all the time
