Wait ppl use Rune Etched Axe with SnB w/o the punt tactic?

Why waste a GCD to do almost no damage? Unless we're talking about 2h play in wbs?

As stated above, IB isnt taken in wb/city because it is a buffbot with weak buffs compared to Knight. Only thing it has going for it is the almighty and much praised 10% crit buff and 25% parry buff (bringing both of which is rather expensive spec wise until rr 60/70), hell IB's usually skip their own +10% block tactic just to bring both of them because the class is so desperate for buffs that actually matter.

The IB was a pretty solidly designed class before Cave-In got nerfed down to 3 seconds rather than 5. There wasn't this expectation of AOE hitting 24+ people.

Right now, it seems like every balance request centers around a class' lack of AOE. rSW, rSH, WE and WH all have this same problem.

I think something has to be done about AOE. I'd prefer uncapping it honestly but adding fall-off zones.

Kinda embarrassing that Avenging the Debt hasn't been addressed as probably the worst remaining skill in the game before all the buffs to already viable classes.

How can destro tanks get so many good skills mirrored from order and ib's not get that corrected?

Look at ANY other tanks middle (shield) skill and they are all usable. Looking at the class mod history over the last few days and it really looks one sided. No wonder order is getting stomped in cities.

IB has the ability to provide himself and oathfriend with increased crit and parry which has no CD and a really good aoe knockback that also snares ontop of the existing aoe snare from earthshatter and lets not forget that his rune etched ace can ignore 100% armor at full grudge, which BG monstrous rending does not.
Nobody runs with a build like that

yeah thats not me posting a build, though you can certainly use those those abilities and tactic for rune etched axe in one and it would be fine, defiently not crap, heres a typical example of one i would use for roaming in a group, you can swap out ancestral inheritance for punishing knock when no HD in a group or when doing sc's.

As Count correct stated:
"As stated above, IB isnt taken in wb/city because it is a buffbot with weak buffs compared to Knight.

What are you trying to achive with that build?..some attempt to make a dps SnB?

The reason SM/knight gets picked over IB is because knight has auras + stay focused crit increaser that not only effects critical hit but critical healing as well and SM has CD reduction, giving IB more aoe dps would not change anything for them.

Well you achieve the role of a tank which is that of being a support class, I don't know why you would care about IB doing aoe dps when dwarfs have the best aoe damage MDPS in the game, i don' t think you want to play an IB, i think you want to play a slayer

The IB was a pretty solidly designed class before Cave-In got nerfed down to 3 seconds rather than 5...

Cave-In never was a 5s KD, always 3s... The dot tics for 5s

same back on live.
