Swordmaster.... Build.

Well said my friend. I too ran the two hand for the entire time in WAR. Resorted to the same thing in ROR but went to S&B after reaching 35. Playing front line defense as a S&B SM is sort of like the front linemen of a pro football team. You have options based on maintaining the integrity of your line or penetrating theirs.

I have to agree with Eiger although he is a guildie so I am duty bound.

Having run SnB and 2-hander and all kinds of variations, SnB generally feels much more useful. Sure, 2-hander is in a good shape and can be successfully run for solo roaming or in a 6v6 as an off-tank, but in any other game-mode I just feel that SnB performs better. SnB Hoeth/Vaul I do less damage myself compared to a 2-hander (albeit not significantly less), but provide much more group utility and have superior survivability.

I had a period that I ran exclusively 2-hander and I did well and it's very viable, but I've gone back to SnB as I stopped looking at the numbers and realised - like someone else said - that I'm a tank first and foremost and my main role is to guard, assist and provide CC and utility.

I was running a Khane/Vaul build for quite a while then I switched over to this (still running 2-hander):

Put most all my renown points into parry and disrupt/dodge. That defense pluse double or triple shields makes it fairly hardy, spirit debuffs make it hit hard and still has WoDs for oh-crap moments. Been enjoying it.

I run this these days:

RR for Resolute Defense and Cleansing Winds, then in Parry, rest in Dodge/Disrupt

When I'm in a premade, I respec and drop Vaul's Buffer for Balanced Accuracy and spec RR for Strength and Crit%.
