[Black Orc] Stressrunka : Black Orc RVR and SC build tips?

Post#1 » Sat Feb 24, 2018 9:30 am

I used to be maining Black Orc back on live many many years ago, so i thought i would ask the community here on different builds and such i could aim for once i hit 40/40 again, since im very rusty atm :)

What im currently have in mind is going for a "Tank Meatwall" for the frontline in SC and RVR with mastery on Da Boss tree, buffing and keeping my buddies buffed and safe, going for Thoughness and Wounds as stats and not sure about tactics yet, also running with 1h and Shield. Also being able to stick on enemy healers like a angry bumblebee to keep their attention of their team-mates and keep healing themselves cause im smashing their faces in.
Does this idea for a build sound good or am im completely way off?

Any tips will be very helpful :)

ps: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! (sorry i had to include that)

boss tree deals a lot of fluff dmg in sc's cause of it's AoE nature.
another issue is that the armor debuff from We'z Bigger doesn't stack with armor potions.

if you plan to play a lot of sc's aim for brawler, simply because asisst dmg. (skull thumper, THC, NIDF).
would take as second spec / invest leftover points in Da Boss, so you can Warcry switch to greenest if necessary / you get focussed.
it also adds tooltip dmg to Shut Ya face, and more WS to FML.

another aproach would be going with left over points for CHM in toughest tree, since you talked about tanking and be a solid meatwall. in SC however you run in to danger of just getting counterplayed with a punt, kd, etc. and simply not getting focussed enough to justify the investment.

atm there is also a spooky ghost haunting the SC scene , so your teammates will need your initiative statsteal buff. (114 if speced till THC, 75 without a single point in it)

if you hit healers unasissted, not much will happen, especially with gear discrepancy which you will face in the beginning.

What I've forgot to add:
THC is also better in a roam grp.
Boss only starts to shine in a proper bomb grp.
so everything under 12 man, I'm personally specced THC.
Also in pug warbands I would prefer THC,..

2nd Edit:
TL;DR: you will have to respec, according what you plan to do.
would prefer survivability bit more, since I don't know your gear.

starter wb spec

smallscale starter spec, one value point left over, can invest in arm breaker or rock 'ard, both are somewhat equally worthless, maybe take big brawlin tactic if your grp lacks kite
