You will never get DSM to change his mind or see your side, the next 10 pages of back and forth will be pointless hope that helps.

You should be saying this to the other people in this thread. Sorry you are wrong again. Hope this helps.

You are always trying to win, sorry you don’t see your issues. Vanquish in a nutshell.

I’ve said it many times and keep getting dragged back in.
The intervention is appreciated. What number are we up to?

There is no intervention necessary. I post facts that are easily provable. If you want to rebut them, bring better facts. So far you haven't. I am not sure why you have to insist you are correct simply because you say so.

Saying “it’s a fact” doesn’t make it a fact. Words like “better” mean very little. Context is everything.

Greenmist has attributes for a good tank weapons in the game. HP, STR and AC Tap. Aggro proc (btw Disease Cloud was nerfed bad). 25Mr. Tolerable ratio. It’s situational but still has its place and is easy to get. If you raid use a flurry, sev shield, or something like an Aary. If not go loot an Ashenbone in Kithicor.

I see a lot of Iksars use it for tanking who also have the epic and ToV stuff. So they are wrong too if your facts are literally such. I’ll tell them about the free lvl 22 and 30 spells they are missing out on.

You are correct, simply saying something is a fact doesn't make it so. What makes it a fact is the math that shows you precisely what you get with Greenmist vs. Blood Ember. Saving potentially thousands of mana per hour is going to be better than Greenmist, because Shadowknights are typically mana bound, not HP bound. Greenmist isn't special in terms of it's ratio, and in most situations it's stats aren't going to drastically change an encounter.

I never said you can't tank stuff with Greenmist. Nor did I say you shouldn't get Greenmist if you are an Iksar. I am simply pointing out to new players that being an Iksar is generally the worse option, because Blood Ember is factually better than Greenmist in most situations.

Let's assume Greenmist is the best raid tank weapon in the game. That still doesn't matter, because Shadowknights do very little tanking in raids generally speaking. Unless you are one of the very few players who really want to make a hardcore raiding Shadowknight, it isn't worth rolling Iksar to get Greenmist for that specific purpose. Blood Ember is going to help you more in day-to-day gameplay sessions. If the majority of the server population raided instead of soloed/grouped, I would give different advice.

The coolest thing I could ever imagine would be a giant guild of only SKs & clerics.

As someone with a 60 SK who raids and solos, let me say Greenmist vs BE is completely irrelevant. No idea why DSM is going on and on about it. There's a lot of time to chat on the forums when you play a buff bot I guess.

Nobody said Blood Ember or Greenmist is required to be an SK. We are talking about whats better, for people who want to know. Not sure what is so hard to understand.

You said iksars make bad sks. But your first post in this thread was literally recommending iksars as an sk race. I don’t even think you know what point you’re trying to prove anymore.

I am not trying to prove anything. I am posting facts so OP and other readers have the proper information, and can make their own decisions.

Iksars are generally one of the worst SK races. I didn't make the game, I am just stating the facts. I never said you shouldn't play an Iksar, either.

Except you’re directly contradicting what you post. So I think at this point you should stop posting and let people decide for themselves.

Thanks.
