Re: Blackguard Builds
A 2h BG in a WB offers a hefty aoe wounds debuff and a crit increase for everyone (not just group), quite decent if you ask me. You don't take it for the damage (although CD crits are very nice and in excess of 1.1k), but the utility. At least that's my take on it in a WB setting.

Also about 2h BG, I've been running Full Malice tree, with 2 points in Loathing for crit reduction and 30% parry tactic. Gear, And 20/20 points into avoidance renown. I've never died outside of a full wipe or really retarded overly aggressive plays as long as my party had 2 healers. Could guard anything thanks to ~60% parry, and the damage was on par if not slightly better than your typical SnB BO.
Really sucks you can't get AoE snare till RR60/70, but with the rumored 2h buff and being able to also get that snare I think BG will be less of a meme. It still lacks the high value/quantity utility of the other 2 tanks, but the future looks promising.
I can't stand SnB BG aka "waiting for a **** block so i can knock something down simulator 2017", honestly i'd trade the 5 sec KD for the basic 3 sec KD tanks have in a heartbeat.

Re: Blackguard Builds
Since I have not seen anyone else spreading fake news about guard being below 30 feet, I would assume yes, the guard is now correctly at 30 feet.Vraal wrote:So the real value now is 30 feet instead of the formerly bugged 40 feet?
Re: Blackguard Builds
Link that build Jaycub pls.
So basially BG got 2 roads, s/b aoe snare + backline harasment (hdebuff, ap drain and selfheal) or 2h parry stacking aoe crit/wounds debuff + option at rr 60/70 aoe snare, am I right?

proably some thing like this
the 60/70 rr requirement depends on if you go for force of fury im guessing

Re: Blackguard Builds
that's the build I'm using atm, since I cannot reach snare yet in mid I go for toughness tactic, it's okay for PvE sometimes or when you want to switch fast for a more defensive build without full respec.TenTonHammer wrote:RoR.builders - Black GuardTelperien wrote:Link that build Jaycub pls.

playing mostly in small groups or small WBs, switching between snb and 2h depending on need for a tougher tank, or whether we have need for stronger AoE pushing/bombing.
with just some tactic changes you can play both a tank or a offensive tank, hard to get block high but parry will be high with the tactic slotted.
So I can jump from being a 2h tank in pvp to being a snb pve tank without having to pay for full respec.
Re: Blackguard Builds
Is enraged beating a must? can I swap it for snare and with full 5pc set spend last point on toughness tactic? something like this?

Also, does speed boost of disrupt stack with QE?

Re: Blackguard Builds
looks fine, there is no "correct" spec and the AoE snare is pretty good.Telperien wrote:Is enraged beating a must? can I swap it for snare and with full 5pc set spend last point on toughness tactic? something like this?

IMO; 30 parry > extra toughness
(you will parry your guard dmg a lot with this tactic, so you probably end up taking less dmg due to high parry than by boosting toughness)

Re: Blackguard Builds
You can, enraged beating is just a nice dps ability, that synergies well with the crit tactic and lets you build some hateTelperien wrote:Is enraged beating a must? can I swap it for snare and with full 5pc set spend last point on toughness tactic? something like this?
