Order tanks, pros/cons and discussion

[Razid1987]

I want to point out to everyone in this thread first and formost that razid is doing so much damage because she is using the on your gaurd aura kotbs have more felibilty than chosens on what auras they can run because if your have played on either side you will notice that its VERY common for ordo to have atleast 4 bw's in every sc this makes it almost mandatory that chosens have to run the resist aura where as destro is more of a fan of the melee train and sorcs are not as frequent in sc's

To be fair, Destro also have a lot of Sorcs, although they are big fans of Choppas and SHs

having said that i want to tell you that accoring to luth in the sticky class status thread On your guard is bugged atm to the extent that its kinda op it does retrun damge on every enemy instead of the staggered interval further more since everyone is considred in your grp in scs atm the aura works on everyone on your team whom takes a hit....I.E what im tring to say is that dont go buy razids dmg in scs

Not really getting your point here. It happens all the time. What is there not to "buy"? I do 20k dmg in SCs quite often

BUTTTTTTTT KoTBS was the best dam tank in the game in live that it out shied EVERY OTHER DAM TANK in the game with great cc and giving everyone 20% base crit its rather appaling that the class was that good, i hope that either all other tanks are buffed up or KOTBS is nerfed

It's spelled "damn"

He's. Not denying your damage output, he's saying it's because your class has a bug regarding the aura, and it will be fixed. Leveling the playing field. I think.

It being bugged is kinda common knowledge, isn't it?

Well, true, but I got told almost right away, after I rolled my Knight, by someone in SoD

Tanks are fun... IB is ok.. it can be enjoyable but I don't find that it's perfect in my view... something seems missing maybe the oath friend buffs should be dps oriented. I think both BG and IB could have their mechanic adjusted some but i dunno..

[Kaitanaroyr]

if you want to play sm i strongly suggest you go offclas with 2h cause its a rather underweling snb tank compared to the former 2

SnB sms are norm dps 2hs should always be tanks draw less attention when you have a shield and doesn't drop yr dps.
only time a SnB should be tanky is t1-t3 unless you want to tank warcamp guards lol.

If you wanna do damage IB is nutz

KoTBS will be better when they get runefang

[Rebuke]

I main a SnB swordmaster (Eiger) and it is, for t1 atleast, a great compromise between dps and tank. In t2 you can basically focus on getting str+tuff and you' re done, destro doesnt stack spirit resist so SM will always do more meaningful damage than IB and Knights, cant speak for t3+4 though since i have no exp playing them in endgame (which isnt due for in a couple of years ).

Play SM to be different. Only ever good as DPS tanks imo (and assisting WLs). In good gear, they were very good DPS (much better than KOTBS, and I'd argue better than IB when using the channeled move)
