Return of Reckoning

Yeah I generally run the 4 defensive sov, rest Triumph when solo. If in a group and well supported 6 offensive Sov, the rest Triumph is probably best unless you want full glass cannon with Warlord.

RIP old GCD. You will be sorely missed.

Is that why I am being told to come on my WL all the time? Sure you can play an SW but if people build a somewhat serious WB you might be lucky and get a slot as a Moral Drain gimmick SW. Let's not pretend like there is no very solid meta when it comes to DPS slots in a WB, please.

Thats the kind of players getting destroyed by repel+riposte ;P
Great video Stink!
