You really do want to take a crap all over the core idea of RPGs. You make me very sad. This generation of gamer is terrible. Int is not a tanking stat.
Do you understand words? Int is a behind the scenes spell power multiplier. Str and Agi are behind the scenes attack power multiplier.
If you want to be upset at anyone, be upset at Blizzard, rather than trying to pretend like youāre smarter and wiser cause youāre old.
Okay clearly youāre very upset for no good reason.
Think of Iron Man.
Why is his suit so indestructible?
Is it because Tony Stark Is strong?
Is it because Tony Stark is Agile?
or is it because Heās Intelligent, and knows everything about how the suit works.
He designed a Mech using his own intelligence.
In Warcraft 3. Tinkers Primary stat was Intelligence, they got the most intelligence from leveling up.
The Tinkers passive ability would increase ARMOR based on their level.
In Elder Scrolls Online you can tank with magicka(Intellect) buildsā¦ tbh that is RPG af manā¦? If anything it would also be pretty cool to see how a tank reacts specially to intel trinkets other tanks couldnt get/use
Hell. Even in another Blizzard game. Diablo 3. Wizard is able to create energy shields.
Those energy shields are made stronger by having More Intelligence.
Elder Scrolls Online, isnāt that that one garbage game that was suppose to kill WoW but went free to play?
Do you actually have another argument, or are you just gonna keep replying with non related topics?
Someoneās a real grumpy pants.
Grumpypants.
Diablo 3 the game that nobody plays?
Kart, back me up here.
Diablo 3 kicks butt.
And Intelligence can be a Tanking stat. it was in Warcraft 3.
Are you gonna tell me that Warcraft 3 had it wrong?
Does it matter who plays it? The point stands; energy shield/int based defense date back to Diablo 1 on the Sorcerer.
Pro tip, Warcraft 3 was an RTS not an RPG.
An RTS with RPG mechanicsā¦ Which is why they built an RPG around itā¦ Lol
Elder scrolls is still a fantasy setting and is responsible for two GOTY RPG titles.
I swear, First itās Necromancers have to use mana.
Then itās that Mounts are Class abilites
Now youāre saying that Intelligence cant be used to tank?
They built a MMoRPG out of it because it was a world that they already had lore for and the genre was new and they saw an opportunity for money. The game was still just an RTS.
It had Character classes.
Leveling up
Class abilities
RPG stats
Different races
So it had RPG mechanics.
And it also had Intelligence Tanks.
Are you really gonna tell me that World of Warcraft shouldnāt be based on Warcraft?
Is that what classifies as RPG mechanics for you? I guess most sports games now days are RPGs.
Oh I see. Old games are always better right?
It had RPG mechanics. And tanks could use intelligence.
Sorry dude. you played yourself on this one.
Go play classic. you seem to think Engineering there is its own class.
Oh and everyone can use every stat.
Old games are better, there is a reason the RPG genre is dying out right now. Itās because nobody makes them right anymore.
for how wow works, lore, and development. I wouldnt be surprised to see them in the next expac or two. dont get your hopes down about it. might just be something that would come with time. like the graphics revamp, still no dance school weāve been begging for since bc, or even allied races. just keep the hype up and eventually itll most likely become a part of the game. right now i feel like they are working more on catching a feal of what players want in the balance, story and customization. blizz aint def. but with joining with activision it has gone a little off rails. fingers crossed for more to come these next few years.
