"...I don't know about this one." "It's - snrk - a bit off the wall for you, yes. Think you can - hehe - make it till they're done?" "Ugh. You might have to stop me from committing mass violence."

sometimes u are really on when tanking and then SOMETIMES you step off the hole in the stage half a second before it solidifies. while everyone is watching u.

barik offtanking forgefire words that mean nothing to anyone following me mewst likely vwv

but i've been consumed with the thought that forgefire, a talent that removes his ultimate's shield and weakens the flamethrower turret that isn't primary benefit, but lets you have two of them that last longer and reduces the cost down to 40% (with the full 100% bar as "extra ammo"), is suited alot better to the off-tank's role than barik's usual/obligate point-tank role by being off of the point, the most contested part of the map, the disadantage of not having the additional shield (and of not getting the shield amplification talent) to allievate pressure is much less of an issue, same going for the disadvantage of the flame-turret being deleted in seconds having flame-turrets gives you greater space control, both in the sense of simply being able to freelyish place one during a fire fight for extra damage, and in the sense of being able to "occupy" more space by leaving one near a support, which can either damage enough to push the 1v1 against a flank in their favor or buy enough time for barik to dash back though both of these things are doable with base barik turrets too, even though those have almost a third of the dps barik's dash is i beleive the mobility tool in the tank class with the best turning/handability (maybe besides ruckus if considering air mobility as a factor), while having much lower distance/duration than the Mobile Front-Lines, which alongside the "create turrets" nature of his kit pushes him into being a more passive off-tank, But accounting for a loadout stacking dash reset duration and shielding, with his closer-range weapon, he would likely be capable of attempting dives And getting out of them in a way more comaprable to ruckus than the other passive-offtanks maybe?

I love listening to my partner playing overwatch 10 feet away and overhearing that the random he's queued up with that's playing my usual role is fucking up immensely <3

[deathandthesoul]

Maybe I would not have as much rage inside of me if I mained Scholar instead of Sage

[sjofn-lofnsdottr]

fucking finally

It was a hilarious disaster pull but we somehow managed to kill her with only the offtank and dragoon alive. :D

i finally decided to spend my old comp points on sigma's golden weapon* and i didn't realize it made his paws gold too ;-;

*i was deliberating forever... i got into the game because of roadhog and i learned how to offtank with him but in the single tank meta i basically never play him anymore orz

sigma has some of the best sprays too, my fav genres are

1) mc escher psychosis

2) black hole brain damage

(FFXIV Raid guide voice) After resolving “Energeia”, the party will be hit by another “Doxa” raidwide (heal and mitigate accordingly) and then Jeronomo will cast “Confluence of Apathy”. The other tank will get a Bingo debuff, which is why we need to do a tank swap during the tankbuster, while DPS will get a Bongo debuff, Healers will get targeted by either a square AOE or a circle AOE and need to place them on the edge of the arena at east and west. The offtank with the Bingo buff needs to go in the square hole made by the AOE of the same shape while the DPS’s with the Bongo buff follow the party North to survive the proximity hit from the delayed circle AOE and avoid the frontal cleave Jeronomo does which the maintank will angle South. Only after those resolve, will the DPS’s be able to go to the Circle hole and resolve their Bongo buff. Takes a second, but pretty simple. Now this is going to be the wall of the fight, the hardest mechanic, here’s how you do “Fuck you, it’s geometry”—

My sibling recruited me to offtank for savages this expac we did EX1 last night so i could get my weapon- didn't go too bad! we only wiped hard the first run through and still cleared!

[fooltofancy]

that was my first maintank trial and BOY did our offtank spend the entire time trying to kill me.

[artofzuhani]

if I ever go to therapy I really need to ask them to figure out why I get so worked up about wow shit.

like an old tank is going to jump in for the other guy on wed and I'm beyond pissed that I have to offtank for a few bosses so he can have fun too. Hi my name is Caz and I'm 5 years old

(he better know what he's doing though)
