Hi, I want to know what is the best build for survive in big Orvr fight. I don't want to be usefull for my friend, I just want to be indestructible.
In my point of view, 2H build is useless in long fight. You have Wall of Darting Steel. With good renown ability, I think this is Insane. You can have 95% parry (eagle's flight) , 90% Disrupt (calming wind) and 70% evasion. But, when you have no AP… ? SM have no tactic and nothing to recover is AP. WIth SNB, if you can use you balance well and have the right renown ability and with HTL, you can have 45% parry (perfect defence/eagle's flight), 85% Disrupt (calming wind), 65% evasion, 25% block (perfect defense/crushing advance) and bonus armor of crushing advance. And if you have no AP, can can still have some survivability. What do you think.
For a maximum survivability:
RoR.builders - Sword Master
The goal here is to max all defense renown (block, parry, evasion, disrupt) to use to full potential of Vault Buffer. And I try to be in perfect balance all the time to use the full potential of Calming Wind and Perfect defense. My playstyle is simple:
Protection of Hoeth -> Crushing Advance / Eagle's Flight / Sudden Shift -> Hold The line.
Do you think i am wrong. What is you best build for that and what is your playstyle. I really want to play de swordmaster and I want to be indestructible. Thank you for all you can share with me !
I think You are wrong. No matter what class You spec for maximum tankines, You never gona be "indestructible". Your survivability in party or warband depends on Your group mates. On 2nd tank who switch guard on You if u get focused, on healers if You get morale pumped. You can be tanky as hell, but You gonna die if your group dies.
Spec You posted is selfish survivability(Maxed out Vaul tree for max Vaul buffer and Crushing advance self armor buff). You insist on Vauls tempering, You should always pick Raking talon tactic for AOE 20% dmg debuff(warband). You should also pick redirected force for Single target punt(party).
I suggest this build
RoR.builders - Sword Master.
You still have most of self survival tools(Vauls buffer, Perfect defences and Crushing Advance) while You provide much higher group absorb bubble, higher buff from Heavnes Blade, Single target knockback, Single target knockdown and Whispering wind which works as a single target silence and cooldown decreaser at same time.
To be honest spec whatever You like and to what You find the most usefull but remember You are just a tank, not invincible dmg imune walking mountain
Edit: I prefer SnB for several reasons. HTL for warband and even self survivability, around 35% base parry + 20-25% base block chance help You mitigate guard dmg more than base 40-45% parry with 2H. If you spam WoDS you can get pretty insane avoidance but with 2 cons: A) You cant use other skills when channeling WoDS B) its self suficient, no effect on party/warband.
Another reason is nobody expect You can dish out some moderate dmg while SnB. 600-800 crits with Encorselled Blow and 700-1k crits with Dazzling Strike is not unusual to targets under WoH spirit debuff + dots provided by Encorselled agony and Potent Enchantment tactics. And its just with opressor/inavder mix with 9.5k HP unbuffed, 0%(probably -4%) chance to be crit, 600 ish toughnes and 820-850 strenght(with pot).
