Speaking of the world of Warcraft Lich King's Wrath Nostalgia suit is the strongest tank, players generally default to the death knight and anti-mounted strongest, but from the actual situation of the current beta test suit, the players' old views should be put down, the most eye-catching tank at present is Xiongtan, not only can not be compared with Xiongtan, anti-mounting and DKT are also in front of Xiongtan, all this is likely to come from a major modification of Blizzard to Xiongtan, so that its armor is increased by ten thousand points out of thin air.
At present, the WLK beta test suit has opened the group test, many players involved in the test have found that the performance of Xiong Tan is particularly good, once the player frequently in the BOSS battle, change a bear Tan immediately stable, it is reasonable to say that the early 4 tanks Gap is not large, why Xiong Tan this time showed so strong? The answer is hidden in the details.
Some netizens found that the Bear Tan armor in the Beta test suit was as high as 35392 points, far exceeding the expected value, to know that in the original version of the WLK, this 200-level blue entry bear has at most 25,000 points of armor, and the amount of armor in the test suit Bear Tan is directly more than 10,000 points more than the original version.
What does that extra 10,000 armor mean? Let's take a look at the anti-riding attributes of the same grade, he only has 24111 points of armor, xiongtan in the same equipment conditions, more than 11,000 points of armor than anti-riding, can provide xiongtan with more than 20% of additional armor damage reduction.
While The basic damage reduction obtained by Bear Tan and DKT from talents and skills is about 26.5%, the two shield tanks of anti-mounting and anti-war can get 32% damage reduction, and there are some additional block damage reductions, so the anti-war/anti-riding is theoretically 5% more than the beartan/DK's permanent damage reduction.
But now Xiongtan has obtained 20% additional armor reduction through high armor, so at the same level of equipment, Xiongtan has 15% more damage reduction than anti-mounting and anti-war, and 20% more than DKT.
World of Warcraft is a digital world, and every 1% improvement is crucial, let alone a 15% to 20% improvement? This is also the fundamental reason why the current test of bear tan meat is outrageous.
So where did Xiong Tan's extra 10,000 points of armor come from? Netizens found that Blizzard may have modified the armor bonus method of the giant bear form, and the armor that the bear tan could only get in "cloth armor" and "leather armor" could be bonused by the giant bear form (and related talents and skills), and now it has become any part of the equipment can get the bonus of the giant bear form.
The detective studied the equipment of the 35,000 armored bears and found that the ring and weapon parts were indeed bonused by the extra armor of the giant bear form.
The first ring is the Ring of Torment dropped by the Magic Ring, which provides 406 armor points.
The second ring is the Ancient Kingdom boss Nadok is the Spider Shield Ring dropped by Longs, providing 462 additional armor points.
There is also the Furious Wild Staff dropped by Ugvar, the boss of Utgard Castle, which provides 700 armor points.
Just these 3 pieces of equipment, you get 406 + 426 + 700 = 1532 basic armor, the giant bear form plus related talents can provide a 700% increase, then the 1532 points of armor is magnified to more than 10000 points.
It is not known whether this is a BUG or Blizzard's intention, if Blizzard does not modify it, WLK will not be the three tanks with their own strengths, but Xiongtan is thriving.
