Default Obligatory Scout roll rant

Thanks, COVID-19. Every day of Scout Roll there has been 1 more person present than the last roll. I'm honestly thinking of giving up before I even win my first roll.


This facet of P99 isn't interesting, exciting, or remotely challenging when everyone brings their 4th alt because they have nothing else to do.

Do you have a suggestion for how scout roll can be improved?

Don't do it then? It's not like scout is a bottleneck for unlocking a whole bunch of extra content.

Those 52 shadow knights need their vox gears!

If you can suggest a better bracer that my Iksar Warrior can reasonably obtain, I'm open to suggestion. It kind of is a bottleneck for me, at this point. That and Stormfeather.

I would gladly not do it, but in order to continue becoming an adequate tank for my guild, I kind of need at least one bracer.

I wish we were "in line," then I would have eventually gotten one. When 50 people show up for every roll, there is no "line," so pick a better analogy.

You don't need BoBs to be an adequate tank. Any bracer you can obtain is better than one that you don't.

Depends on how you define need. Do I need it to in order to get a mob's attention? No. Does every little bit of AC, Dex, Sta, and Resists help as a tank? Yes. Are tanks more gear dependent than other classes? Yes.

At a certain point you do "need" these pieces to continue upgrading your toon.


But this isn't my point - my point isn't that I "need" it to do my job, my point is that the # of people present at scout roll literally never goes down.
