You have no need to know my true name, fool! For those who speak it do so only in whispers -- fearful whispers, lest they reach the ears of... the Man-Ape!

M'Baku was born and raised in the Jabari Village within the nation of Wakanda, Africa. He was one of the greatest warriors of the African nation Wakanda, second only to T'Challa. While the Panther, King of Wakanda, was on leave from his royal duties to serve the Avengers in America, the ambitious M'Baku plotted to usurp the throne. M'Baku flouted T'Challa's edicts and revived the forbidden White Gorilla cult, personally stalking and killing one of the rare white gorillas living in the jungles near Wakanda. Bathing in the gorilla's blood and eating the gorilla's flesh mystically conferred its great strength upon M'Baku.
When the Black Panther returned to Wakanda with the Avengers, M'Baku, calling himself the Man-Ape, openly challenged the Panther's right to rule. After a protracted battle, the Man-Ape bested the Panther; however, when he bound T'Challa to the giant statue of a panther and tried to topple it upon his enemy, the statue instead crumbled, burying M'Baku.
The Black Panther, believing the Man-Ape was crushed, returned to New York with the Avengers. But M'Baku's chief supporter N'Gamo revived the rebel allowing him to swear vengeance on the Panther ever since.

While I was gone, they set the world on fire. It wasn't war anymore; it was a remaking. Some losses are inevitable. Some...unthinkable. Now they've built a new world. Armies of steel and thunder. They're rewriting history.
But they forgot about me.

Born in the summer of 1911 in Mesquite, Texas, William J. Blazkowicz was raised by a racist father and a Polish, Jewish mother. From both of his parents, BJ learned to despise intolerance in all of its forms and immediately joined the US military to fight the Nazis when he came of age. Braving the horrors of the Nazi X-Labs and a siege on Castle Wolfenstein itself, he'd climb to the rank of Captain by 1946. During a last-ditch siege on the German nerve center, the Deathshead compound, BJ takes a piece of shrapnel to the head, barely surviving and falling into a coma. The Second World War ends. The Nazis establish their rule across the globe.
Fourteen years later, BJ wakes up in a new world led by the fascists, where everything he's bled for has been for nothing. Not content to live in this world, he takes up arms against the Nazis once more, starting with the sadistic general who killed his platoon, Wilhelm Strasse. Following his second siege of the Deathshead compound, BJ leads the offensive front of the American revolution, becoming a hero to the free people of the world and a feared terrorist to the Fourth Reich. Nothing seems to stop BJ's crusade of liberation, not the undead or mechanical abominations. Not even evisceration or decapitation can keep the freedom fighter down for long.
Blazko isn't exactly what you'd call a planner. He leaves things like strategy, reconnaissance and intelligence gathering to his antifascist allies in the Kreisau Circle. BJ sticks to what he's good at; violently ending Nazi lives in large numbers.

Notes
After his execution by decapitation, BJ's severed head was collected by his allies and sustained with oxygen and preserving chemicals. The scientist Set Roth was able to attach BJ's head to a synthetic body, allowing BJ to continue his fight. While the synthetic body has more or less the same shape his natural one, physical feats will be marked with [SB] to separate them from his flesh and blood body.
The events of Wolfenstein: The Deep are from a retelling of a story where the speaker gets some details incorrect. Comic feats should be taken with a grain of salt.

Da'at Yichud Power Armor

An exoskeleton of ancient design with a neural interface that allows for grievously injured or paralyzed people to fight. Caroline Becker used the suit until her death when BJ used it. Despite his torso being ravaged by Deathshead's grenade, the power armor allowed BJ to operate at superhuman capacities.
Physicals

• Caroline leaps and kicks a large robot, then grabs onto and punches another, dispatching them both. She then leaps up into a low-flying helicopter.

• [Limit] A crane lifts BJ’s childhood home into the air. When he destroys the crane hook, the house falls and BJ is knocked out by a falling support beam. A group of Nazis then pry the power armor off of his unconscious body.

Other

• The power armor takes the form of boots. When BJ puts them on, it forms over his body and allows him to walk again, moving his body despite the grievous wounds he sustained at Deathshead's Compound.
• The armor offers complete protection from radiation, allowing BJ to enter New York, which was atom-bombed by the Nazis
• The armor can form a helmet which BJ can turn on consciously, used when he’s held at gunpoint

Three mechanical enhancements compatible with his synthetic body offer BJ some esoteric abilities.
Constrictor Harness

• Lets BJ compress his torso, allowing him to crawl through narrow spaces or under large objects
• Can climb through drain pipes like a snake

Ram Shackles

• Lets BJ generate crushing force when sprinting. Used to ram through metal grates or weak concrete walls.
• Can smash metal crates
• Can knock enemies over or destroy their bodies
• Ram Shackle upgrades let BJ stay standing when near explosions or strikes that would normally floor him, throw grenades and hatchets with greater force, and slowly regenerate his armor

Battle Walker

• After gaining height with the stilts, BJ can retract quickly them and drop to the ground with a stomping move
• When standing near a high ledge with the stilts, BJ can perform ledge-based takedowns

• The Tactical tree in TNO effects weapon damage and magazine size, the speed at which BJ reloads and draws his weapons, and the rate at which he regenerates health
• The Assault tree in TNO effects ammo carried, ammo looted from bodies, the damage of dual-wielded weapons, the speed at which BJ moves while dual-wielding, and armor bonuses for consecutive kills
• The Demolition tree in TNO effects how many grenades BJ carries, makes grenades explode on contact with enemies, makes them more damaging to enemies and protects BJ from enemy's own grenades
• The Stealth tree in TNC effects BJ’s speed while sneaking, his damage with suppressed weapons, causes enemies to call for backup slower and lets him collect ammo when stealthily destroying robotic enemies
• The Mayhem tree in TNC effects the clip size for heavy weapons, lets him regenerate health quicker, lets him salvage more armor from enemy drops and lets him carry more grenades
• The Tactical tree in TNC reduces damage taken from lasers, explosives or flames, makes enemy grenades take longer to detonate and lets him salvage more ammo from enemy drops

Miscellaneous

• He often wears a headset for communicating with allies via radio
  • The headset communicator works just fine when BJ’s on the moon and his allies are back in Berlin
• Wears a rebreather when on an underwater mission
• When going undercover in Castle Wolfenstein, BJ was so huge that they needed a tailor to make a custom Nazi uniform to fit his body
• When infiltrating a Nazi labor camp, he has an identification number tattooed on his forearm. Later on, he carves the tattoo off his arm with a scalpel.
• BJ has become infamously terrifying to the Nazis. He’s referred to as “Terror Billy” and is believed to have killed thousands of Nazi foot soldiers.

You take freedom away from the American people, you're playing with fire, and I intend to pour some gasoline! People gotta know they don't have to take this shit no more, and if nothing else, that's what I'm gonna do. Before I go.

In historical times, Messapic was spoken in southern Italy. However, there was a tradition that speakers of Messapic came from Crete (Whalen, 2023a). If this was based on their tradition, or clear similarity to people from Crete observable at the time, this could be true. Currently, it is seen as close to Albanian. Though the only contact with Greek, under the Albanian theory, would be with Greek colonists in Italy, after an unknown period in which their only neighbors would be speakers of Italic and Etruscan, there are many, many obviously Greek words in Messapic, that are said to be loans, and very little Italic. G. árguros ‘silver’, Ms. acc. argorian; Ms. (e)ipigrave ‘he wrote’, G. epigráphō; and all native names of gods are Greek. Why would this people who supposedly came from Illyrian territory to Italy have so many Greek loans, even replacing their entire pantheon? Greek Aphrodī́tē : Aprodita, Zeús : Zis, Dēmḗtēr : Damatura / Damatira, *Athānā > Thana. In hupo- : hipa-, there is *u > i, so Zeús : Zis is also likely a loan.
​
Even their names were Greek:
​
G. Hippikós, Híppakos, Ms. Hipaka / Ipaka / Hopaka
​
G. streblós / strabós / strábōn ‘bent / twisted / squinting’, Strábōn, Ms. Staboos (tr vs. t also in Látrōn, Phoc. Latōnós; like str- > *tsr- > *dzR > NG zabós )
​
G. Plátōn : Ms. Platoor / Platur / Prátur shows n / r, like *perk^-sk^-tlo- > U. persklu ‘public prayer’, Ms. pensklen ‘chapel’ (acc). This matches Cretan l / r and G. dia. l > n (eluth- > Att. eltheîn, Dor. entheîn; phíltatos / phíntatos ‘dearest’; L. merda, TB melte ‘dung’, G. mínthos ‘human ordure’ (also with e > i, d > th, as in Crete)
​
G. Andréās, gen. *Andréwāho > Andréou, Ms. gen. Andiraho
​
G. Mātréās / Mētrâs, fem. Mētrṓ, Ms. Marta
​
G. Makháōn, Cretan Mágōs, Ms. Mahehos
​
Plato and Strabo would not ignore such evidence. The analogical gen. -ho added to masc. a-stems is a feature of Greek, along with all others here. Nothing is like Albanian, except those features that Greek already is known to share with it. That *Andréwāho > Andiraho is true is seen in cognates:
​
G. teúktōr ‘maker’, ánthrōpos ‘man / human’, Ms. Taotor Andirabas ‘Maker of Man’ (*eu > *öü > ao in *k^leu-si > Ms. klaohi, Skt. śróṣi ‘hear (impv)’)
​
The change of names in -ōn > -ōs is not a theory that just concerns Ms., but a fact seen in Crete, from where they came:
​
G. Púrōn, Cr. Púrōs / Púrōos
​
G. Túrōn, Cr. Turṓs
​
G. Brótōn, Cr. Brṓtōs
​
G. Makháōn, Cr. Mágōs
​
*Látlōn > Phoca. Látrōn, Phoc. Latōnós, Cr. Látōs
​
G. fem. Tharsṓ, masc. Thrásōn, Cr. Thárōs < *Thárrōs < *Thársōs
​
Since *-ōn > -ōs / -ōos makes little sense, this shows that IE n-stems with nom. in *-o:n / *-o: remained in Greek. Just as some names alternated -ōn / -ōnos (G. Tēlephôn / Tēléphōnos, Kórōn / Kórōnos, Látrōn ~ Latōnós, god Seilēnós from *selwḗn (*serwḗm > Linear B se-re-mo-ka-ra-o-re ‘(decorated with) siren heads’), Tīthōnós from *tīthōn ‘cicada’), the older nom. *-ō added -s or -os by analogy with o-stems.
​
Understanding the basic sound changes allows less obvious names to be related by the same. Many seem related to Macedonian changes, such as kh > g:
​
*Megaklewe:s > G. Megaklês, *Mögaklöwö:s > Ms. Mooklioos (with rounding by P like *eu > *öü > ao in *k^leu-si > Ms. klaohi; for palatal *l^, see below)
​
G. oínē ‘vine / wine’, Ms. Vina, Vunia < *wuyna \ *wunya
​
G. Oinádēs, Ms. Vinnadeus (proving the equation above; *ny > nn as in Marchesini)
​
G. Kórinthos, Cr. Karaíthōs, Ms. gen. Kortheihi (metathesis of *Koreith-, *i > ai as in Mac.)
​
G. Euphaínetos, Ms. Vaanetos
​
For the long -aa- in Vaanetos, Macadeonian had *ai > a(:) in *H2aidhriyā > G. aithría ‘clear weather’, Mac. adraía. Though G. did not mark the length of letters like A, most languages with length distinctions change diphthongs into long vowels. This would show eu- was pronounced ev- in dialects early, as late, and *vf > v / f (also explaining loss of -u- in *davfnā > Greek dáphnē / daukhnā- ‘laurel’). This is found in Ms. Daxtassi Vaanetos ‘Vaanetos, son of Dazet’.
​
In Mooklioos, only an origin in a word of at least 4 syllables makes sense, and the match with Greek can’t be ignored. A sequence of -ioo- representing 3 successive V’s is unlikely (except maybe in Greek); if -li- represented *l^ (palatalized before *e, then *ew > *öw), it would make sense of another group:
​
A palatal *t becoming th is known in Ms. (*kWe > *k^e > *t^e > G. te, *t^i > Ms. ti / thi ‘and’); thus, Simona Marchesini (1995) derived Ms. Blatthes < *Blatyos, but also did not consider dissimilation of *y-y or *y > l. Ms. Blatthes, Cr. Bíaththos are cognate, and the missing link is provided by the presence of the name P Blattius Creticus (found on an offering in the Alps). Hitchman in “Some Personal Names from Western Crete” shows that Cr. Bíaththos and G. Talthúbios (from thaléthō ‘bloom/thrive’ and *gWiH3wo- ‘alive’, with loss of *H in many compounds) were names alternately passed down to father and son, which made him question if G. bio- gave Bíaththos (such names are often related in one out of two elements). Indeed it did, with *y-y or *y > l (or *y > *l^ > l as in Arm. *yugo-m ‘yoke’ > luc; *ye(:)kWrt ‘liver’ > leard ):
​
*gWiH3oto- ‘life’ > G. bíotos / bíos, *biotios > Cr. Bíaththos, *by- > bl- in P Blattius Creticus, Ms. Blatthes / Blathes
​
*yaH2- > Skt. yā- ‘go’, H. ya- ‘go / march’; *yaH2won- > G. Iéōnes > ‘Ionians’
​
*yaH2wo- > H. lahha- ‘*march > campaign’, G. lāós ‘men / soldiers / people’
​
Seeing that both Ms. names and those from Crete that do not look immediately Greek are derived from sound changes in unknown or little known dialects of Greek helps in proving their connection. If each group shows the same changes, legend says they came from Crete, and these names are found in both places, etc., there is no reason to doubt this any more than any piece of evidence from stories.
​
It is not just names; all words are Greek, showing few differences from known dialects. PIE *wetes- > G. auto-etḗs ‘in/of the same year’, Ms. atavetes with au > a, o > a. This auto- as ‘same’ is not normal in IE words with *wet(os)- of the same meaning, it’s unique to G. Changes like Ms. *o > a are seen in Macedonian, and I will give many more. PIE *bher- ‘carry’ > G. phérō, Ms. 3pl. subj. beran; G. phílos ‘one’s own/friend/deaworthy’, Ms. biles, gen. bilihi, ‘son’, show ph > b like Mac. Changes of e > i like G. dia. (*kWetwor- ‘4’ > Hom. písures / Les. pés(s)ures ), and since *-yo > -i matches that seen in G. sílphion ‘silphium / laser(wort)’, *sirphio- > *sirphi- > Latin sirpe; PIE *gWlhinyo-s > *koleniyo-s > Cr. *koleni-s > NG Cr. kolénēs ‘oak-grove’. Change of ph > p by r in sirpe matches G. Aphrodī́tē : Ms. Aprodita, probably only when in different syllables (if regular).
​
How would *upo- become hipa- without Greek *u- > hu-, Greek *u > ü, and dialect Greek ü > i? None of this appears in Alb., and this is the simplest of all examples. Why *s > h in exactly the environments for G., not Alb.? Why would Messapia be ‘between the waters’ (known to be a word for ‘peninsula’, based on their location), from *medhyo- ‘middle’ when *dh > d in Alb.? This requires *dh > *th, *thy > ss, remaining *th > d. This is the sequence in Mac., not Alb., and there is no way to avoid this.
​
In G. theóphoros ‘possessed by a god / (divinely) inspired’, Ms. t(h)abara- ‘priest’, they come from PIE *dh(e)H1so-, so Alb. would have d-. Though Mac. changed *th > d later, when the V created by vocalization of *H1 formed, it was different from *e, maybe *H1 > *E or *ǝ (open or reduced V). Then, unstressed *ǝ > 0 (or all *ǝ > 0 unless it would create a monosyllable). Loss of *H1 by *s ( > *h ) might also be responsible. For *H becoming *ǝ that could be deleted, see *H1isH2ro- > *HihHro- = *HihHǝro- > *Hihǝro- > G. hierós \ hiarós \ iarós \ îros \ ros ‘mighty/supernatural’), with -a- expected in all, not -a- vs. -e- / -0-.
​
Even *n disappeared before *Ch, showing that it was a fricative, and a devoiced *d became t / th (just as G. dáptēs ‘eater / bloodsucker (of gnats)’, Cretan thápta ‘gnat’, more below), which only works if *d was *ð. The 3rd sng. -s must be G. -si < -ti, the opt. 3rd pl. -ain is like G. -oint-, which is not an allowed cluster in any IE but Greek. All this points to a language very similar to Macedonian, in which almost every word was seen in Ionic G., only differing due to sound changes.
​
In Ms. kos kraapati argorian ‘whoever should steal the money’, kraap- would have a long V from a diphthong, *au or *ai. This obviously is from *kraup-, which matches G. kalúptō / krúptō ‘cover / hide / conceal’ (with meaning as in kléptō ‘steal / conceal’). It shows that r vs. l is part of a sound change, and other IE do not have kl- > kal- or obvious cognates of these forms. It is pointless to continue looking elsewhere when all matches are in Greek.
​
If ph > p in loans (Aprodita), why ph > v in (e)ipigrave? Ms. had native words with -p-. This suggests it was older, which makes no sense, or that phr > pr but VpV > VvV. This is impossible due to -p- in hipa-, etc. Only a stage with -ph- > -f- > -v- (like Arm.) would work, which prevents these from being loans. Words with VCi > ViCi like *-osyo > -aihi; Ms. (e)ipigrave, G. epigráphō; also might show an Arm.-type change. If ei- / i- is just spelling, the *sy > *hy > ih resembles G. *ny > in, and intermediate *-oiho is possible, too. Even deiva / diva ‘goddess’ is from *thewos < *theos < *thehos, G. theós, with new glide (as in *bhiliyos > G. phílios ‘friendly/beloved’, *biliwos >> Ms. biliva ‘beloved (fem)’), with dialect eo > io, among many examples of *e > i.
​
Early loans from Greek to Ms. to Latin are much more extensive than expected if Ms. merely contacted Greek at much the same time as the rest of Italy, and often show alternation of l / r or l / d, both seen in dialects on Crete (Cr. thápta ‘gnat’, Polyrrhenian látta ‘fly’), and other such changes. No historical Greeks who came to Italy are specifically known to speak a dialect with l > r.
​
G. Odusseús / Olutteus / Ōlixēs, L. Ulixēs
​
G. Poludeúkēs, *Poluleúkēs ‘very bright’ >> L. Pollux (like Sanskrit Purūrávas- ‘*very hot’)
​
G. númphē, L. lumpa ‘nymph, (spring) water’, Oscan *dümpa > diumpa- (with dissimilation of nasals n-m > l-m)
​
G. phál(l)aina ‘whale’, L. balaena
​
G. kārabís / kā́rabos ‘ horned beetle / crayfish’, sḗrambos ‘kind of dung beetle’, L. scarabaeus
​
G. thṓrāx, Ion. thṓrēx ‘corslet / coat of mail’, L. lōrīca ‘coat of mail / breastplate’
​
G. lógkhē ‘spear’, L. lancea
​
G. parṓn ‘light ship’, L. parō
​
G. pálmē ‘light shield’, L. palma / parma ‘small round shield’
​
G. sílphion ‘silphium / laser(wort)’, *sirphi > Latin sirpe
​
G. eléphās ‘elephant / ivory’, *erefōs > *erebor > L. ebur ‘ivory’
​
G. mū́rioi ‘great number / 10,000’, *mū́lyi > L. mīlle ‘thousand’, plural mīlia
​
G. tûkon / sûkon, *thü:kos > L fīcus ‘fig’
​
G. látron ‘payment’, *látlōn > L. latrō ‘mercenary / bandit’
​
G. pháskō ‘say/believe’, báskō; báskanos ‘invoking/imploring / casting a spell’; baskaínō >> L. fascīnō ‘enchant/bewitch/envy’
​
G. atāburī́tēs ártos ‘a kind of loaf’ >> L. Atābulus ‘burning wind blowing in Apulia / sirocco’
​
G. sḗrambos ‘kind of dung beetle’ is the source of the name Cr. Sḗrambos. Also kēraphís ‘kind of locust’. That G. broûkos / breûkos ‘grasshopper’ is also >> Cr. Breûkos shows a tendency in naming. That a Cretan form like *ska:rabos existed and gave L. scarabaeus seems clear. Knowing that this path existed shows a clear connection among Crete, Greek words in Latin and Ms., and Ms. as from Crete. These words are likely << ‘horn’, *k^(e)rsro- > ON hjarsi ‘crown (of the head)’, G. kórsē ‘head / temple’, showing these are native G. words. A similar path in TB karse ‘deer?’.
​
For tûkon / sûkon > *θü:kos > L fīcus (Italic change of *θ > f), palatal *t also becoming th is known in Ms. (*kWe > *t^i > ti / thi ‘and’; Blatthes, Blattius); *tu > *t^ü is needed in dia. with sûkon, so putting these together leaves Ms as the only choice. This ü > i is needed for others (mū́rioi > mīlia). Why would Ms. have borrowed a supposedly foreign Greek word, changed it by its own standard in a few years, then been the source of another loan into Latin when Greeks presumably were plentiful in the area? The only idea that makes sense is that *thü:kos is a native Ms. word, that they loaned into Latin in the centuries before any (other) Greeks arrived.
​
For *látlōn > L. latrō, compare the names *Látlōn > Phoca. Látrōn, Phoc. Latōnós, Cr. Látōs. Since Phoc. Látropos also exists, these are clearly related (Phoc. Greeks founded Phocaea; these rare names being seen there makes 2 separate derivatives very unlikely). If native L., it would have *l-l > l-r after *tl > kl (*lutlom > lucrum).
​
Why would phálaina > balaena? Standard theory says a Mac. form was responsible, but Italians weren’t in contact with Macedonians, but Messapians. Mac. *o > a in lógkhē > lancea is equally unlikely, but Ms. had *o > a (not PIE *o > a, but G. *o > a ). Ōlixēs, L. Ulixēs shows ō > u like Ms. Platoor / Platur. If eléphās > *erefōs > *erebor > L. ebur, it would show a > o by P, like G. ablábeia : Cr. ablopia; likely also phṓgō ‘roast/toast/parch’ < *be\a(H2)g- (OE bacan, E. bake, Slavic *bagati ‘ignite’, Ph. bekós \ békos ‘bread’, Arm. bokeł ‘kind of round soft bread’).
​
Why would Messapians name their winds with a foreign Greek name? G. atāburī́tēs is likely from *artā *burg- ‘bake bread’, G. phrū́gō ‘roast/toast/parch’, Latin frīg- ‘roast’, Skt. bhrajj-. Since the ultimate source of these words and the path it took to G. are unknown, the loss of -g- likely comes from *rug > *urg, with *rg > *r like *rd > r in Crete (G. krádē ‘fig-tree’, *kárda > Cr. kára; G. pérdix ‘partridge’, Cr. pḗrix), since some g > d there (hagnós, Cr. adnós ‘holy’). Not all these need have passed through Ms. to L., but most certainly are not standard G., and no makeup of the G. colonists to Italy seems to explain it. Most of these have been seen as Ms. (intermediary) before. Almost all these required changes are seen in Crete. We have much less ability now to determine where the Messapians lived immediately before coming to Italy than they did then. Why attempt to get the better of the ancients when there is no way to prove that they did not come from Crete?
​
The many, many Cretan names in Task- and Dask-, like C. Táskos, Táskus, Táskis, Taskádas, Taskúdas, Taskiádas, Dasskádas, Daskádas, Taskainnádas, Taskannádas, Taskoménēs are matched by many, many names in Daz- for Messapic, like M. Dazimas / Dazomas, Dazos, Dazet, gen. dazohonnihi, dazinnihi, dastidda. These would likely be from G. Ktasadas, Ktēsiádēs, etc. These are from ktḗsios ‘belonging to (one’s) property/home’, ktáomai ‘get / obtain’. Most attested names from G. dialects that changed *a: > *e:, but many named Ktasadas in Lycia (the sons of Ktēsiklês, Kallikrátēs, Diogénēs, etc., so certainly Greek).
​
In Cr., T- vs. D- must come from optional kt- / gd- (G. (k)túpos / (g)doûpos ‘crash / din /knocking / thud’), then Ktēsiádēs : *Kta:siáda:s > Taskiádas. Ms. would then show only the voiced variants, with *Dags- > *Dagz- > Daz-. Its nature as from *gz can be seen when loss of -V- puts it by -t-, with *-gzt- > *-kst- > *-xst- > -xt- in *Dagzet-s > Dazet, gen. *Dagzet-os > *Dagzt-os > Daxtas.
​
The Ms. letter X must have been pronounced like velar fricative /x/ (which is the simplest choice if a Greek dialect using Greek-based letters) but has been written Š by scholars with no evidence. It provides etymology for words with Š- really being X-, like Staboos Xonedonas ‘Xonedonas, son of Stabo’. Greek onínēmi ‘be of use / help / please / delight’ came from PIE *H3onH1-, so its derivative Onḗtōr would have been *Honḗtōr in the past. With *r > n, *Honḗtōr >> Xonedonas.
​
It is not unreasonable to think that some dialects retained PIE *H2- as x- or h- later than others. Compare *H- > h- in:
*H2aps- > G. hápsos ‘joint’, TA āpsā ‘(minor) limbs’, Skt. ápsas- ‘front side’, H. happeššar- ‘limb / part of body’
*H1ek^wos > G. híppos, Ion. íkkos ‘horse’, L. equus
​
Related names (in both G. and Ms.) from the same root: *Hone:tis > *Hone:t^is > *Hone:t^s^is > G. ónēsis ‘use/profit/advantage/delight’, names Onēsís and many more in Onēs-, Ms. gen. Xonetthihi from Xonetthi-. As in other words, palatal *t^ and *t^s^ to Ms. t / th / tth (also Cr. thth ).
​
Sound changes in Ms. are seen in other G. dia., and there’s nothing unique to Alb., shown in:
​
*upo- > G. hupo-, Ms. hipa- with Greek *u- > hu-, Greek *u > ü, and dialect Greek ü > i
​
s > h in exactly the environments for G., not Alb.
​
e > i like G. dia. (*kWetwor- ‘4’ > Hom. písures / Les. pés(s)ures )
​
*-yo > -i
*-osyo > *-ohyö > *-ahie > -aihi
seen in G. sílphion ‘silphium / laser(wort)’, *sirphio- > *sirphi- > Latin sirpe; PIE *gWlhinyo-s > *koleniyo-s > Cr. *koleni-s > NG Cr. kolénēs ‘oak-grove’
​
Change of ph > p by r in sirpe matches G. Aphrodī́tē : Ms. Aprodita.
​
*-osyo > -aihi with VCi > ViCi
​
Ms. (e)ipigrave ‘he wrote’, G. epigráphō with VCi > ViCi
​
G. árguros ‘silver’, Ms. acc. argorian
​
Messapia ‘between the waters’ (maybe a word for ‘peninsula’) requires *dh > *th, *thy > ss, remaining *th > d. This is the sequence in Mac., not Alb.
​
*n disappeared before *Ch, showing that it was a fricative
​
devoiced *d became t / th (just as G. dáptēs ‘eater / bloodsucker (of gnats)’, Cretan thápta ‘gnat’), which only works if *d was *ð
​
3rd sng. -s must be G. -si < -ti
​
opt. 3rd pl. -ain is like G. -oint-, which is not an allowed cluster in any IE but Greek
​
G. Plátōn : Ms. Platoor / Platur shows n / r

G. teúktōr ‘maker’, ánthrōpos ‘man / human’, Ms. Taotor Andirabas ‘Maker of Men’
​
G. theóphoros ‘possessed by a god / (divinely) inspired’, Ms. t(h)abara- ‘priest’
​
*bhiliyos > G. phílios ‘friendly/beloved’, *bilios > *biliwos >> Ms. biliva ‘beloved (fem)’
​
G. phílos ‘one’s own/friend/deaworthy’, Ms. biles, gen. bilihi, ‘son’, show ph > b like Mac.; *o > e
​
*bher- ‘carry’ > G. phérō, Ms. 3pl. subj. beran
​
*kWe > *k^e > *t^e > G. te, *t^i > Ms. ti / thi ‘and’
​
*gWiH3oto- ‘life’ > G. bíotos / bíos, *biotios > Cr. Bíaththos, *by- > bl- in P Blattius Creticus, Ms. Blatthes \ Blathes
​
*k^leu-si > Ms. klaohi, Skt. śróṣi ‘hear (impv)’
​
*wetes- > G. auto-etḗs ‘in/of the same year’, Ms. atavetes with au > a, o > a
​
​
*kWe > Ms. ti / thi
but
*penkWe > Ms. penke-, G. pénte
​
No regularity here, like G. dia. (*kWetwor- ‘4’ > G. Dor. tétores / Att. téttares / Hom. písures / Les. pés(s)ures / etc.). Irregular outcomes of KW are a hallmark of G., and if Ms. was regular the G. changes by dissim. of *p/kW-kW>k, etc. would explain it (no K > K^ ) (as in *kWolpo- > OE hwealf ‘vault/arch’, G. kólpos ‘bosom/lap / hollow space’; *pokWo- > G. Artopópos, artokópos, LB a-to-po-qo ‘baker’; *hikWkWo-phorgWo- ‘horse-feeder / ostler’ > Ion. ikkophorbó-, hippophorbó-, LB i-po-po-qo-i-, i-qo-po-qo-i; *gWerH3-gWo- > *bhH3ergWo- > phérbō ‘feed / pasture / graze’).
​
​
PIE *westu- appears as G. ástu / wastu ‘town’; other IE don’t have the same meaning or -a-, yet Ms. basti has both (in daranthoa vasti ‘in the city of D’). This neuter -u > -i shows *ü > i, as in hupo- : hipa-. The dat. *wastewi > *wastöü > *vastao > basta could match Taotor, klaohi, showing that it was an u-stem, or maybe some dia. u- > a-stem?
​
​
PIE *g^en(H1)os- > L. genus, G. génos, pl. genéā, Cr. zenia, shows that Ms. zenaides does not prove non-G. origin. Cretan had many z for standard g, and it’s possible they all came from PIE *g^(h). For other ex., see woizeus and more in Viredaz (2003) and G. agathós vs. Cypriot azathós.
​
​
*kWoiw- > G. poi(w)éō ‘make/cause/celebrate/put’, apo-poi(w)éō ‘unmake / (mid) put away from onself / reject’, Ms. au-pave ‘put forth? / set up? / dedicated?’
​
This shows o > u between P_P (as *megWno- ‘naked’ > Arm. merk, *mogWno- > *mugno- > G. gumnós), then dissim. p-p > 0-p, oi > ai, ai > a (Mac. adraía, G. aithríā ‘clear weather’). All seen in G., not Alb.
​
​
Ms. would show irregular outcomes of *e: > i / e / a (if following Weiss), but in his “best” example:
​
*meH ‘don’t’ > G. mḗ, El. mā́, Ms. ma
​
The same shift already is known from G. dia. If I’m right about many “hyper-Doric” words really showing rounding by P / KW (*me: > *mö: > *mä: > *ma: ), this could also apply (Whalen, 2024e).
​
​
The Ms. cities daranthoa & deranthoa greatly resemble G. city names: Therápnē ‘a Lac. city’, therápnē ‘dwelling’, with ther- vs. thar- seen in related therápaina, Boe. tharápēna ‘handmaid’, tharapeúō / therapeúō ‘serve’. Since *dh > d : th is already known, this is far, far, too big a coincidence. These words are all only found in G., with ‘dwelling’ and its use for place names certainly secondary, tertiary, etc. Since -ph- > *-f- > -v-, the -o- here likely for -u- / -w-, with Therápnē : *Therapnā > *Derafnā > *Derawnā > daranthoa
​
​
Weiss says Ms. no appears in contexts where 1sng. would be expected, so *emesyo ‘my’ > G. emeîo, *mio > *ñyo > no. It is possible that G. -eîo is analogy, so *mino > *mno might fit as well. Only G. had *my > *ny > *yn (*somyo- > ksunós \ koinós ‘common/public’).
​
​
L. front(i)- ‘brow/forehead/front’, G. phrontís ‘thought / care’, Ms. acc. bréndon ‘deer’ (related to bréntion ‘stag’s head’, Th. Brentopara )
​
The meaning ‘forehead/front’ > ‘horn / antler’ likely. These show *o > e as in G. phílos, Ms. biles. It is possible i-o > i-ö and o-i > ö-i. If *-osyo > -aihi shows *-yö > *-ye > -i, it would also resemble Theban LB changes of *yo > *yö / *yü > yo / yu, which together explain LA -u / -e for LB -o in otherwise identical names of odd shape (Whalen, 2024f).
​
​
*swiHp-, *swipt- > Ms. sípta, G. G. siōpḗ / siṓpa ‘silence’, OHG gi-swiftón
​
If *s- > h-, *sw- > v-, why s- here? Greek shows a similar oddity, why would Ms. and G. be irregular in exactly the same way?
​
​
G. teúktōr ‘maker’, the god Ms. Taotor, Thōtor, likely *Theotor based on name theotoridda thaotora-s
​
These show *eu > *öü > *äü / *ö: / etc., unlike Alb. *eu > e. Zeús : Zis likely shows specific change after *y. Supposedly, *dy > dd in Ms. (-idda : -idíā ), but *dy- might be different, or already *dy > *dz in Greek, this -dd- from later *iV > *yV (as in G. dia.).
​
​
3rd sng. -s must be G. -si < -ti, palatalization of *t^i can also merge with *k^e > *t^e, etc. Only G. turned both groups into *t^ at a time when they might merge (as in *ky / *ty > tt / ss ) :
​
*hupó-thē-si : hipa-de-s < *upo-dheH1-ti
​
hupo-kau- : hipa-ka-thi < *upo-kau-ti
​
G. hupó-thēma ‘stand/base’, *upo-dheH1-ti > Ms. hipa-de-s ‘he erected / he set up’
​
G. hupo-kaíō ‘burn by applying fire below / light sacrificial fires’, *upo-kau-ti > Ms. hipa-ka-thi ‘she made (this) sacrifice’
​
​
MLM 22 Cae
ana aprodita lahona theotoridda hipakathi theotoridda thaotoras keošorrihi biliva
O Lady Aphrodite: lahona theotoridda made (this) sacrifice for her beloved sister, theotoridda thaotora
​
*kmti- > G. kasígnētos ‘brother’
​
*swesor- > G. éor ‘daughtecousin’ (*kmti- might be added for changing ‘female relative’ > ‘sister’, or specifying meaning after word shifted)
​
*kõsi-hwehor- > *kosyeorh- > *košyeorr- > keošorrihi
​
hupo-kau- : hipa-ka-thi < *upo-kau-ti
​
​
Aphrodī́tē : Aprodita
​
If r was *R, it might turn ph > p as *θh > *θh / *th > th / t (G. theóphoros’, *ðǝho- > *θha- > Ms. t(h)abara-); same in G. sílphion > Latin sirpe. It might also be part of dia. ph > p:
​
seen in G. sílphion ‘silphium / laser(wort)’, *sirphio- > *sirphi- > Latin sirpe; PIE *gWlhinyo-s > *koleniyo-s > Cr. *koleni-s > NG Cr. kolénēs ‘oak-grove’
​
Change of ph > p by r in sirpe matches G. Aphrodī́tē : Ms. Aprodita.
​
G. phōnéō \ pōníō ‘produce a sound
​
*bhoro- > G. phóros ‘tribute/payment’, Skt. bhārá- ‘burden/load/weight’
*burdened > G. pōrós ‘miserable’, talaí-pōros ‘suffering’
​
​
Dēmḗtēr : Damatura / Damatira, LA i-da-ma-te / da-ma-te
​
Since Ms. Platoor / Platur shows o: / u:, Damatura could come from *Dāmātōr. Greek had -ēr > -ōr in compounds ( apátōr ‘fatherless’, a-krátōr \ a-kratḗs ‘powerless / invalid [in law]’ ) and IE does not use this to change the meaning, even when used of gods, like Gmc. *-fadōr > ON Al-föðr ‘fathelord of all’. This is not seen in any attested G., and I highly doubt Ms. happened to get a loan of such an archaic nature when it is seen nowhere else, or anything like it.
​
​
*H1leng^h-? > OHG ant-lingen ‘answer’, H. likzi ‘swear’, G. elégkhō ‘disgrace/question/test’, *yelenx- > *lilix- > Ms. (ni)ligaves ‘he swore?’
​
l > n like n / r above, or l-l dissim.; e- > ye- like dia. o- > wo- (Cr. ophḗlō, Arc. ophéllō ‘owe’, Arc. perf. wophlēk-), also in Arm.
​
​
G. metá ‘in the midst of / among/between / into the middle of / aftebehind’, Ms. ma ‘to’ (in phrases of the form “PN(gen) DN(acc) ma” for ‘from PN to DN’)
​
Mac. deleted -t- between V’s (G. thánatos, *thanaos > *thanos > Mac. dános; *Udra-mãta ‘(place) having water’ > Húdrama (like Skt. udanimá(n)t- ‘abounding in water’) ), so *mea > ma fits Greek evidence. Alb. and other languages in the area did not. Other G. dia. with -d- > 0 make this likely.
​
​
IE *epi-dheH1- ‘put on (covering/lid) / cover > imprison/lock’ > G. epitíthēmi ‘put on (covering/lid) / impose a penalty / grant/give’; *epi-theto > *pideo > Ms. pido ‘she gave’
​
this -o as a past impf. marker matches my analysis of the Phaistos Disk (Whalen, 2023c):
​
PELJAAKO < *peljakao < *pelekato, G. pelekáō ‘hew with an ax’ (e-a > ja-a ; CaV > aCV ; Mac. -t- > 0 between V)
pass. subj., so *-to
​
DOKOR ‘it is decreed’ < *dokeor < *doketor, G. dokéō ‘seem (good)’, dógma ‘opinion / decree’
​
It is very unlikely a people said to come from Crete would happen to be mistaken, yet have this unusual verb ending be found in both places.
​
​
*woino- ‘wine’ > G. oînos, Ms. gen. vinaihi / vunaihi
​
Specific after *w-, other *oi > ai. This matches LA as G., see the word u-na-a on a pithos (likely for wine), showing *ui > wi / u. Mosenkis compared this to the word wi-na-du, which is next to the symbol for ‘wine’. To support this, he adds oinádes ‘place rich in vines’ : wi-na-du ‘vineyard’. This is one of several words that might once have had *woinad- in G., so I wouldn’t be sure of the exact definition. Chiapello (2023) has written that LA a-pa-ki u-na-a on the pithoid jar (which he gives evidence was used religiously) contains a-pa-ki as aparkhaí ‘beginning of a sacrifice / first-fruits (for sacrifice)’ and u-na-a as a name. If only 2 words are found on jar, it would be unlikely 1 would be ‘sacrifice / offering’ and the other a name, unless the name of a god(dess). I think it would improve this derivation to see u-na-a as *uināC (maybe showing that *-ā > *-a, or that long V’s were not always spelled out), as in ‘offering of wine (from this jar for wine)’, which fits the context. Otherwise, *oinawyos > G. Oineús, Oinaîos, *-awyoi contracted > *-aai ? (so ‘to Bacchus’?).
​
As further evidence, see the context of LA libation formula on the ladle TL Za 1 (given in Younger) with U-NA-KA-NA-SI as uinā-kransin from *oinā-krantim ‘mixing/blending (of wine & water)’:
​
G. kígkrēmi / keránnūmi ‘mix / mingle / blend / dilute wine with water’
​
kígkrēmi >> krêsis ‘mixing/blending (of wine & water)’
​
keránnūmi >> *krantis > kransi-
​
with each stem (with or without nasal infix) creating its own derivative.
​
​
​
noun/verb endings:
​
-ais : -ois
-aihi : -oio < *-ohyö
-ain : -ointo
-idda : -idíā
​
*-idyos > *-idyös > *-ides before dy > ddy was probably optional:
​
*gWiH3oto- ‘life’ > G. bíotos / bíos, *biotios > Cr. Bíaththos, *by- > bl- in P Blattius Creticus, Ms. Blatthes / Blathes
​
​
The presence of names ending in -a(m)bos on Crete, like Sḗrambos, sḗrambos ‘kind of dung beetle’, could be seen as the source of words with unknown etymology in -bos. There are several Greek words of similar meaning ending in -ambos or -umbos:
​
íambos ‘2-syllable metrical foot / iambic verse’
thríambos ‘hymn to Dionysus / name of D.’
dīthúrambos ‘hymn to D. / name of D. / bombastic speech’
íthumbos ‘song and dance for followers of D.’
​
All of these might originally been names for songs/dances used in festivals and the worship of Dionysus (and thus all likely loanwords). The association of íambos with 2 and its similarity to thríambos which could be from *tri- ‘3’ makes a connection between dīthúrambos and *kWetur- ‘4’ seem possible. Though dīthúr- is not immediately obvious as < *kWetwor-, G. tetráki ‘four times’ is the source of Greek tetrakínē / thidrakínē ‘lettuce’, and *thidwur-aki-k-s ? > *thwidraks > thrúdax \ thrídax \ thídrax \ thródax. This shows that *thidwur- > thidra- meant ‘four’ (from the form of the flowers, arranged into groups of 4 petals). Ms. is known to have changed *kWe ‘and’ > thi, so this fits.
​
They all resemble IE numbers, so in í- ‘2-syllable…’, thrí-, dīthúr- it seems unlikely to be chance. Some might have been formed like Latin tripudium ‘kind of religious dance’ from Indo-European numbers: two-step, three-step, etc. (describing the timing of the rhythm, the number of steps in each section, or any similar feature). I’m sure I’ve seen these speculations before, but I don’t know the exact source. If these came from a form of Greek similar to LA it would confirm several sound changes. Adding in data from Ms., most of these changes are confirmed.
​
2 *dwi- > *dwy- > *wy- > *yy- > *iy- > íambos ‘2-syllable metrical foot / iambic verse’ (*dwiH2pyugo- >> Iāpugía )
​
3 *tri- > *thri- > thríambos (alternation of Chr / Cr likely from *R, G. Aphrodī́tē : Ms. Aprodita, G. sílphion ‘silphium / laser(wort)’, *sirphio- > *sirphi- > Latin sirpe )
​
4 *kWetwor- > *k^idwur- > *t^iwdur- > *thiwdur- > dīthúrambos (*kWe > ti / thi, *-t- > -d-, also met.; maybe dissim. of *kwiw- > *kwi:- if the stages for *kWe > ti / thi were *kwe > *kw^e > *k^we, etc.)
​
10 *dekmt-ulos > *dekãt-ulos > dáktulos ‘finger, toe’ (maybe this is also related to loss of *ǝ from syllabic C (if *m > *ǝm > *õ / *ã, etc.), G. theóphoros’, *ðǝho- > *θha- > Ms. t(h)abara-.
​
That leaves íthumbos the only problem. If from PIE ‘5’, it would require a lot of changes. However, when I saw that the path of change for signs from CH > LA / LB (Ferrara et al.) included
​
I *28 < CH 008 hand with 5 fingers
​
Since neither ‘5’ nor ‘hand’ begins with i-, I might have been in trouble if I hadn’t been saying for years that íthumbos was ‘5’ in this sequence. I considered the fact that some languages lose the old word for ‘5’ and replace it with ‘hand’ or ‘all’. If ‘five’ was replaced in LA, then there’s a solution. Since G. has
​
*wik^wo- > *wiswo- > wiswos, Att. ísos ‘equal/same/even’, Skt. víśva-, Av. vīspa- ‘whole/every/all’ (WI-SI-PE = WISPE ‘all’ on the Phaistos Disk, Whalen, 2023d)
​
which was ‘all’ in other IE, a path *wiswo > *yithwo > ithu- would work. Either w-w > y-w or some w > y before front (with dissim. of *w-w or the same changes as in *wes- > *w^es- > *yes- > G. hésperos ‘evening’, L. vesper ). That an old theory of mine requires i- for ‘5’ in a language that loaned words into G., and the CH for ‘hand’ has been shown to be the source for I *28 by another researcher who had no knowledge of this (or mentioned the consequences for Greek / LA for any sound values it would produce) seems like independent evidence.
​
​
Though I say *wik^wo- > *wiswo-, most would see this as impossible for an apparent Centum language. Phrygian has the same optionality. For opt. K^ > T^ in G. :
*bhak^- > G. phakós ‘lentil’, phásēlos ‘bean’, Alb. bathë ‘broadbean’
*dheH1k(^)o- > Skt. dhāká- ‘container’, G. thḗkē ‘box/chest/grave/tomb’, thēsaurós ‘treasure/store-room/safe/casket/cavern/subterranean dungeon’
*g^en(H1)os- > L. genus, G. génos, pl. genéā, Cr. zenia, Ms. zenaides
​
This has greater consequences than you might think. Hitchman noted that these Cretan names varied in their endings, with -os / -us / -is (Táskos, Táskus, Táskis, Ms. Daszes), which matches Linear A names in -e / -u corresponding to LB ones in -o. He compared Cr. Bíaththos to LB qi-ja-to (a shepherd from Knossos), LA qi-ja-du. For -th- : -d-, see Mac., Cr., above. Knowing this name is Greek and comes from *gWi(H)wo- ‘alive’ proves that (at least some) Greek names were written in LA. Ms. biles, gen. bilihi, ‘son’, show ph > b like Mac.; -es matches LA names in -e corresponding to LB ones in -o, providing every step in the process. He did not follow it through to this conclusion because he thought these Cretan names were not Greek, and did not attempt to consider the sound changes that would exist if so.
​
I say that Messapic is as Greek as Macedonian (take that however you like). In the interest of parsimony I would say that having a group of Greeks on Crete who speak a very divergent form of Greek makes Chiapello’s claims that LA was Greek very clear. I have tirelessly worked on finding all implications of this, using known sound changes from Crete to explain why LA was not deciphered until now. Almost every change in Ms. is seen in LA. Just as several very odd words, very odd changes, many dialects existed on Crete, I see no reason why one of them could not come to Italy when Minoan society began to crumble. G. te matches Ms. ti with e > i, as in many LA words, and these changes also include Pa > Po (*panto- > *ponto- in the LA accounting terms ku-ro ‘(sub-)total’, po-to-ku-ro ‘grand total’), o: / u:, o / u (LA has few signs for Co used), th > d (especially on the Phaistos Disk).
​
Please see the obvious equations here. If you could send this to as many people as you know, mention it to students, friends, anyone, it could help immensely. Don’t let a mistake continue unchecked for so long.

Koichi was an average Japanese student until he discovered he was a descendant of the alien, Babel, and had inherited all of Babel's powers. In addition, he was given three servants to control: The panther-like shapeshifter Rodem, the flying Ropross, and the mechanical behemoth Poseidon. Koichi decided to use these powers to protect the Earth from the evil organization YOMI and its leader.....Yomi.
Yomi is killed 3 times in Babel II. After his second death, he is brought back by a space virus that enhanced his powers 2-3x but lost this amp after his third death. All feats involving this amp are labeled "Space Virus amped Yomi"
Note: Koicihi's powers get stronger and more refined over time, so the thread is in Chronological order.
Koichi's seven powers: Complete control of his servants, super speed, pyrokinesis, energy manipulation, super strength, telekinesis and telepathy ^{(vol 12, ch60})
Strength and Durability:

• A psychic says Babel II's powers are so great, he can't be killed by fire, water, or bullets ^{( vol 4 ch 14})
• Takes a punch from the Executioner and gets back up. ^{(vol 4 ch 15})
  • The Executioner is strong enough to slam Ropross. ^{(vol 4 ch 15})
• Takes a blast from the Executioner that burned another man to death ^{(vol 4 ch 15})
• YOMI, who is weaker than Koichi, can self-resurrect ^{(vol 4 ch 16})
• Survives underground and enters a state of false death ^{(vol 4 ch 17})
• KO's an enhanced human with one punch ^{(vol 5 ch 21})
• Judo throws a superhuman, and punches him in the face, causing it to comment on his strength ^{(vol 5, ch 22})
• Seemingly shrugs off a pyrokinetic while exhausted. ^{(vol 6, ch 24})
• Survives Underwater for 30 minutes ^{(vol 7, ch 29})
• Survived a blast that killed every fish within a hundred meters. ^{(vol 7 ch 29})
• Survives a blast from Ropross V, who was stronger than Ropross and Poseidon ^{(vol 8 ch 35})
• Despite not having eaten or rested in two days, keeps going and resists a psychic call ^{(vol 10 ch 44})
• When he does finally succumb to the call, he snaps the ropes binding him ^{(vol 10 ch 44})
• Heals from expending all his powers and having shrapnel everywhere "inside a day" ^{(vol 11, ch 50})
• Yomi believes he could survive for up to 24 hours in a blizzard with little protection. ^{(vol 12 ch 59})
• Babel was fine after 20 hours in the Arctic with just his school uniform on. ^{(vol 12 ch 59})

• Yomi, leader of the organization of the same name, states Babel's telekinesis exceeds his own ^{(vol 3 chapter 11})
  • Yomi's Telekinesis was strong enough to throw planes
• Blocks bombs from several aircraft from destroying the Tower ^{(vol 5 ch 20})
  • The computer later states that the amount of aircraft was 400. ^{(vol 5 ch 22})

A lot of people were asking for my build/addons/tips in my original post so I figured I'd just make a dedicated post explaining everything. These are all just my opinions tanking deep prot through hardcore. I've never 2H tanked because I sexually identify as a sword + shield class fantasy better, but 2H until 50 is probably more optimal, especially if you're also soloing between dungeons. Check out the comments of this post as people are posting great advice as well that I missed in this writeup or don't directly use.

My dungeon diet meme spec

https://classicdb.ch/?talent#LV0bZVxzZxfzseMkVo
2/5 Tactical mastery because I stay in defensive and only switch for mocking blow/intercept/berserker rage
Only 3/5 Toughness because 2% armor from items was coming out to be virtually nothing. It’s incredible when you’re raid geared, it’s mathematically garbage before then
0/10 Anticipation because only defense from leveled skill affects crushing blow frequency and +10 defense only comes out to be ~2% avoidance iirc
its probably bad so feel free to avoid

Addons

Threat Plates - One of the single biggest advantages you can have as a tank. Shows what mobs have agro on you, which ones don’t, and which ones are on the verge of losing it.
WeakAura - Place meters, cooldowns, etc wherever you’d like on your screen. Mine uses it for the cooldown setup I have as well as hp and rage. Your attention economy suffers when you have to constantly dart top left to see your hp/rage, bottom for cooldowns, top for target, and middle for combat. Best to make those all as close as possible.

Luna Unit Frames - Group bars and target bar (Not pictured in screenshot, but typically placed just above the center UI)
Bartender - Remove all excess UI. Even having had this setup for 3 years, if my bottom bar is visible, my eyes are still tempted to look down at it, so best to remove it. Use Shift + C to open all bags, etc. And many won’t do this, but I highly recommend hiding your exp bar while leveling. Time flies when you’re not constantly looking at your gradual progress and it feels great when you suddenly level out of nowhere.

Tanking tips

​

1. Download Threat Plates. See above; Single biggest thing you can do for yourself.
2. Always Shoot to pull, never charge. Hide behind corners to allow casters to group up on you, and always battle shout at your group after you’ve pulled to get a baseline agro which will prevent mobs from swapping to the healer. You can often “taunt” a ranged mob to start attacking you again by battle shouting 1-2 times if they’ve swapped late in the fight due to excessive heal agro. Feel free to use Charge if the mobs/boss are in a dead end or corner.
3. Keep a rage buffer and use bloodrage to maintain rage between pulls. Intellect means nothing if you are never at full mana. Stamina means nothing if you are never at full HP. You are putting yourself at a disadvantage by not keeping your rage bar as high as possible while still maintaining threat. This rage reservoir gives you the flexibility to use more if you so need on certain pulls. You can usually fill up your entire bar by just keeping agro via taunt/revenge on one mob. Only use as much rage as you need to in order to hold threat.
4. Emphasize Focus Fire and Kill Order. Mobs not running around attacking others mean DPS don’t have to be running away from them, running to them, gouging, nova’ing. It means DPS can fully focus on DPS and seamlessly switch from one mob to the next with zero interruption in their flow of damage. Mobs dying one-by-one as well as the tank’s mitigation means healers don’t need to drink, and you can pull faster. DPS exists as a concept across the entire duration of the dungeon. If you are waiting on mana, you are not dealing damage and the dungeon is not being finished any sooner.
5. Keybind your raid markers. Quickly mark the kill order, Skull, X, Moon, etc without having to navigate excel dropdown menu bullshit.
6. Understand the mental limitations of your group and keep your cool. Most hunters cannot identify shapes. Most mages can’t grasp the concept of delayed gratification. Groups following kill order are the exception, not the rule. Don’t get upset or angry when DPS can’t follow procedure, just do your best to work around them if tactful communication has failed.
7. Build threat on X first. Once mobs arrive and the group is attacking skull, get a solid base on X. Maybe just one revenge or sunder. Once your threat plates addon goes yellow/red on skull, taunt skull to steal all the agro the group built up on it. You can also conc blow skull on pull arrival to build up threat on all other targets before switching to skull (if it’s still alive.)
8. Almost always use Demoralizing Shout. It is roughly a flat 20% reduction in damage. Look at your armor mitigation. It’s probably around 40~55%. If I told you, “Here’s an item that doesn’t take a slot and bumps that up by 20%,” you’d probably call it a cheat code. That’s what demo shout is. Not to mention that it applies to the group. Maybe don’t use it if the group is shredding or it’s just one mob, but keep it as a high priority.
9. Always use Battle Shout. At level 60, it is giving me a 13 damage per second increase. Much like demo shout, if I offered you an enchant that added 13 dps to your weapon that didn’t take up the enchantment slot, you’d be floored. Also, not to mention what it brings to the group. Use an addon like my weakaura to alert you when it’s off. Note: Battle shout does much more threat than demo shout.
10. If using a shield, and especially if you have Improved Shield Block talent, consider using shield block upon pull. It immediately triggers a revenge proc which generates much more threat than sunder armor. So, in summary, you are blocking 1-2 hits and getting more threat for the same amount of rage as a sunder. (Though, sunder’s armor decrease is dope too.)
11. Use Berserker Rage before a pull if you already have zero rage. Switching to berserker stance to cast it and then immediately back to defensive stance just give you a little bonus to rage generation for 10 seconds.
12. Don’t invite other warriors. Their whirlwinds will make your life hell, their improved battle shout will kill your key initial agro tool, they usually do shit dps in 5-mans, and they’re competition for your gear. Every time I’ve tried to be open-minded on this, I usually immediately remember why I shouldn’t.
13. Centralize your UI. Use whatever, but try to customize it so your hp, rage, target, and cooldowns are all near the center of your screen. Your attention at any moment is limited, so it is best not to have to dart your eyes to the top left for your hp/rage, bottom for cooldowns, top for target, and center of the screen for combat. Use bartender to remove all excess UI so it’s not redundant and you’re not tempted to look at the native ability bar for cooldowns.
14. Keybind everything. Never click again. It will have a small learning curve, but within 1-2 dungeons, it should be second nature. Removing all UI except hp/rage/cooldowns and knowing all your ability binds makes tanking feel like an extension of yourself rather than constantly having to track 12 things going on.
15. Wait for pats. Patience is the god stat in hardcore. Don’t waste 100+ hours trying to save 45 seconds.
16. Don’t skip packs. Once again, patience is the god stat in hardcore. Reduce liabilities wherever you see them even if, “we’ll be fiiiiinneeeee….” Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.
17. Almost always start your own groups. Be the master of your fate. Don’t be at the mercy of some dildo, be that dildo. If someone’s a liability and a dick, you can kick them. You’ll always have access to readycheck. You’re a tank, you should not have trouble creating groups. I like to start by calling, “LFM - Heals + DPS - Razorfen Downs - 39+” and then adding in “LF3M…” “LF2M…” once it starts fleshing out.
18. Ask for lead to /readycheck. You’re the puller, and this is an invaluable tool to ensure everyone is attentive before the next pull. If your healer tabbed out, or their dog shat on the rug while you pull, it’s gonna be rough. Also use this before starting escort quests in which everyone needs to turn in the first step first, such as RFD or BRD.
19. Never use taunt if you already have agro. Taunt does not generate additional threat. Do not use it unless the mob has gone red on your threat plates (or yellow and flipped given latency). The only exception is if you want to utilize the 3 seconds of guaranteed agro.
20. Don’t sleep on Mocking blow. If you have trouble establishing threat off the bat, get caught in the negative feedback loop of can’t get hit to generate it, and taunt is on cooldown, try to get at least 10 rage, and use Mocking Blow to guarantee a taunt for 6 seconds, which is an eternity for a pull.
21. Don’t bother with Thunderclap for threat. It’s great if you really wanna throttle a tough pull/boss’ damage output, but battle stance has a 0.8x threat modifier. You’re probably better off battle shouting or just tab sundering.
22. Put your back against the wall for bosses with knockback/threat drops. Allows you to easily taunt back. If it’s impractical, always just intercept back in.
23. If Prot spec, use Concussive Blow to chain pull. Once the last mob in a pack is at 70% hp, use conc and run off to mark and pull the next pack. As prot spec and the group focusing targets, your healer should never need to drink and your DPS should always have mobs to kill. 3/3 Imp. Revenge can also usually serve this if conc is on CD.
24. Always use Gift of Arthas. It applies a debuff to all mobs that hit you causing them to take 8 more damage per hit. They’re cheap as fuck and boost group damage by around 10% iirc when I did the math.
25. Bring water. Always have at least two stacks of the latest water in your bags. It sucks that you should, but don’t put your fate in the hands of mouthbreathers that will slow your pull cadence. Mobs aren’t the only thing acting against you that you must mitigate, sometimes it's your party members’ negligence.
26. Grab resistance potions. A shadow protection potion is like 30 silver and completely negates 90% of Arugal’s damage. A nature protection potion is like 10 silver and completely negates the RFK boss’ damage. Buy a couple and hand them out before Princess Theredras to completely remove the fart damage. These turn bosses into pushovers.
27. Don’t sleep on disarm. It’s a lot of rage, but it’s also about a 20% reduction in damage. Not bad on certain mobs and bosses.
28. Get Mark of the Chosen as soon as viable. This trinket from maraudon gives 2% chance on being hit to increase all stats by 25, given how often you’re hit in dungeons, it is virtually always active. That translates to 50 attack power, 250 hp, 1.25% dodge, and 1.25% crit.
29. Get Thrash Blade as soon as viable. Beast of a weapon for its level, but its procs generate rage, and it can proc off shield slam, revenge and allegedly sunder armor(?). This creates a minor positive feedback loop where your rage generates even more rage. Use this till you know better not to.
30. Use retaliation on last dungeon bosses until you get shield wall. Because why not.

The group of our players loaned out is getting smaller, and my job is getting easier. Still i'm afraid to even turn on my phone because of the possibility of another "news" coming about our doomed club. What a time to be a toffee. Our kids seem to have the same luck with injuries, as with incompetent team owner.
Our Women team has won 3:0 against Villa in an away WFA Cup match. Our ladies will now travel to Nottingham Forest for a fifth round match, at the 10-11.02 weekend.

Our U18 team has not played a game since last report, but they are playing FA Youth Cup game in two days against Chelsea. This game will be streamed for free. Thursday evening (7pm GMT)

Our U21 team had an away game vs Leeds postponed yesterday because of frozen pitch. They haven't play in the holiday period too but their last game was after our report. That was a 0:0 draw against Feyenoord in the International Cup. We're doing well in this Cup, 3rd place out of 8 in our group, with next game against Benfica. Handsome Andre played that game, and his presence was needed as our U21 team still is out of quite a few players. We basically started with our second choice U18 striker, and that was a home u21 game.
Kouyate played last time in September. Another long time absentees are Charlie Whitaker, Luke Butterfield, Tyler Onyango, Liam Higgins. Martin Sheriff keeps playing between U21 and U18 but was absent for the last U21 game. Okoronkwo played only once in December. If we add the players returning from loans to that, these kids will probably have to fight for rehab gear once they're all there.

LOANS.
Neal Maupay - Brentford FC . Started in the 1:4 loss against palace and had an assist, then came from the bench in the 3:1 loss against palace. These were league games, in the sole cup game he scored against wolves in a game that ended 1:1 and went to replay. He likes playing against the wolves. Brentford are in a slump two points above us, but they have still spare game to play. (actually two games less played than us)
https://youtu.be/_YK9X0p5asY?si=6n4VWjz_l3ym2jMj - nice assist
https://youtu.be/gNIMn-gPkm8?si=P16pXnpNz9aOFlAX - goal
Mason Holgate - Southampton FC . Saints are unbeaten in 19 games ? maybe more by now. Mason isn't a big part of it. Benched in last 4 league games. Played in the FA cup game against Walsall and could've been guilty of a goal if not for the atrocious shot of the Walsall player.
https://youtu.be/yXcsvf5bCxA?si=i53MKPV-kExZ5bBi Walsall game
Stanley Mills - Oxford United. Started three league games with two days breaks in between, then had a game on bench. Started the Coventry Cup game on bench, was subbed in at the HT to chase the score (3:1 at the time). Typical of Everton luck, was injured in the added time, when it was already 6:2. He shot from the inside of penalty area, and was tackled in the meantime - the shot was saved by keeper. That action ended in a serious knee injury that will be taken care of in our facilities.
Given the amount of play time he had at Oxford United, that was a great loan so far.
Lewis Warrington - Plymouth Argyle. After being injured in training, his loan was terminated early. 225 minutes in nearly half of the season. Wasn't in the matchday squad since the end of November. Termination as announced 14.01 by Plymouth Argyle.
Reece Welch - Forest Green Rovers - Recalled by Everton on 3.01.24 . Saved from the coach Deeney, who probably didn't rate him and plays with 2 CB as opposed to Horseman who played often with 3cb. Also first squad defenders came back from injuries. Before the recall Reece played in the 0:3 FA Cup away loss against Blackpool, then got few minutes in an already lost game against Newport, and was benched for the Swindon loss.
FGR this season: 4W-6D-16L Last in the league, six/seven points to safety.
Reece loan - 23 appearances, around 1700 minutes, not bad for a first loan.
Harry Tyrer - Chesterfield FC . Chesterfield are cruising nine points clear with two spare games. Harry is their first choice keeper in the league. They lost in the cup to Watford, but he's not playing in the cup games. He's making the saves and is well regarded, Spireites are mostly playing well enough that he doesn't has much to do.
Zan-Luk Leban - Farsley Celtic - Plays and plays well, won a MOTM House of Wine award for a match against league second-leaders Scunthorpe Utd(2:0 home win, with 2 red card for Zan-Luk's team). Followed this match with another great performance against Curzon Ashton , that helped his team to earn a 0:0 draw.
