Thank you for taking your time to reply. If we talk about meta gaming, which we are, then you are correct, Excom with +2 Sov is powerful - I said meta gaming because it requires quite a bit of pieces of Sovereign gear in order to not get gimped (and find a lead that cares for Excom, I main WH and throughout all the cities I did since I started I got asked twice if I had Excom spec and gear), which technically you still are because you are giving up crit % pieces but whatever, the bigger picture is that you have Excom with KD/HD/EW/SO etc.Cyrylius wrote: ↑Wed Nov 17, 2021 1:26 am Redsun i agree, making snb BG useful because of its normal abilities would be ok. With that being said, overpowered ability like this in group fights comes with a hefty price of taking snb BG with almost no other utility, except aoe snare. I, for example, think that if someone enjoys playing class that has only M4 going for it, then he should go for it. It's not like order has whs in meta combinations with excommunication which is similarly powerful in city fights and doesn't make you gimp your own comp. That being said, if you can make snb BG viable for its utility and not underperform compared to other destro tanks, I'll happily drop warding.
P.S. do not, please, call me naive, after I played snb BG basically all the way to full sov. I can assure you get morale much slower than other tanks, drains are more punishing and your party will have a shammy with morale pump basically never.
P.P.S. Immaculate defence is 10s godmode itself, with added benefit of working outside of large scale dogfights. I understand that the clip op posted is ridiculous, but try being objective in your judgment. This is ability you have to sacrifice other useful ones to get to, and it should be better than basic one.
Anyhow, only because a spec is useless I don't think it should warrant having an OP ability to compensate to its badness.
Remove the healing from second tank blocking/Remove the healing from guard damage block but keep both tanks for heals/Internal global of 1s(this would still pump out 1600x6 per second, unmitigated healing), I think there is plenty of ways to ''soft'' nerf it without destroying it. Not everything needs to be about destroying, although most of the times it seems that it is.
I see how me calling you naive might have passed by as an insult, but it wasn't, sorry if it was taken that way. I guess it was more a... ''I'm not that stupid, don't take me for stupid'' kind of deal.
