All posts that you can find here will guide you completely to the handle of the final phase.
I have not read all of them but I have not been able to reproach them.
First of all, I would like to say that in my opinion the blackguard class is strewn with many paths and styles of the game, everyone can get it to each other so that it will find the fun of playing this class.
For 8 years of my experience with this class I managed to learn in terms of many styles, and I want to say that the new players would not be afraid to try everything that at least makes you think "Oh, it can be cool, let's try" + many combinations are related also with the things we have, so I recommend farming as much as possible and do not be afraid to even combine things that can be useless but still fun (unless you play in a serious group that asks you for a specific style, it's better that you know it.)
As I said in this topic you will find all the stereotypical builds that will always be good and you must learn them in the process of learning about the world.
Secondly, for any new player wanting to play with a blackguard, it is necessary to experience the game with a ranged class such as a magus, and that's why, above all, I will discuss the reason for roam and rvr here.
The point is that it is necessary to feel the distance to just such a range klass, to quickly feel when you need to hide and quickly convert to know that in case you do not get the magnets of other players. It is a very elitist skill that is acquired by learning about class, your strength, which grows with experience.
As for the blackguard scheme of the game in a shield or two-handed, I think that in the topic you will find enough explanations about positioning and the combo of your skills = big text wall
Unlike other tanks, blackguard is the smallest and fastest, the most skilful and the best-thinking. one who is just as fast on the very front as well as on his own backside, to protect healers, but mostly stays behind.
And now add all the tanks tools to it.
This is not a class that can be described in a simplified way, at least as for me, because I love her very much. As for the combo skills, I could write a beautiful wall of text, but unfortunately I do not want anymore, I have too much knowledge. Please check the topic.
BG FTW!
Greetings.
