Love and the Hoarfrost Tank

Daily Ramble 30: Love and the Hoarfrast Tank

A busy day today didn’t leave me much time to ramble but I did get in an expedition in Albion and another match in SMITE on Aphrodite.

Hoarfrost Tank

So far I’ve had to deal with an Arcane Staff tank and many underequipped tanks, but today I got to experience a Hoarfrost Staff tank. It worked ok, but all these alternative tanks are just not the real thing. They really put pressure on the healer and force everyone to run around a lot or die.

Without the threat generation these alternate tanks just cause trouble and even though most times the group can get through the expedition, its mostly because characters are overleveled or at lest know the dungeon after having run it for weeks.

Hopefully they’ll put in some more expeditions so there’s some variation on the theme – it’s getting old running through the same thing every day for weeks…don’t make it months or people will start leaving.

Aphrodite Again

Today I got a better look at Aphrodite since I played her in a Clash and an Arena battle. She’s a pretty good healer once I learned how to use her Kiss and the Doves.

The interplay of her various abilities make her interesting and fun to play and I’m enjoying figuring out whether it’s time to heal or boost the mana of my teammates. And then her ult works real well when someone goes aggro and runs into the middle of the enemy team.

She’s pretty fun and I’ll be glad to add her to my list of mastered gods.
