[KotBS] 2H DPS Build Help

[edwgon3]

I've been looking around for some builds and found a few interesting ones but since i'm somewhat new, was looking for a bit more help from the experienced knights and some steering to what I should run:
-https://builder.returnofreckoning.com/c ... ,3096,3071
-https://builder.returnofreckoning.com/c ... ,3094,3073
-https://builder.returnofreckoning.com/c ... ,3073,3074


I currently run with 2 friends (WL and WP). I understand the Knight is not the best 2h dps or anything like that but I enjoy playing 2h Knight so sticking with it. I will mainly be assisting our WL and focusing on allowing him to kill things quicker while doing as much DPS as I can. So, I'm looking for a build that does decent dmg (best possible) with good survivability. I've seen a few Ravage spam Chosen and I am looking for something alike that play style.

I also don't know what to put my RR points into but I assume I want, +Parry, Futile Strikes. So was hoping someone could tell me about that. I heard biggest thing is we do melee dmg as opposed to Chosen who does spiritual but did notice there was a talent that makes our dmg elemental?

Thanks for any help!

Yeah that's the one I went to but still not sure which of the 3 is best. Also they don't mention what RR abilities to focus on.

Honestly RR abilities rarely vary, and for 2H they're more straightforward: parry, dodge/disrupt, futile strikes. When you're leveling, especially 1-30ish, you can start with a bunch of Strength and then respec to the defensive abilities when you get to 31+. Strength scales really well at low levels and you won't notice the lack of durability at first.

As far as which build, I would start out with the Conquest path from one of the first two (To Glory! and Efficient Swings) and by the time you finish that you should have a better idea of your playstyle and you'll figure out the rest on your own.

Thanks man! That's the kind of info I needed

The first build (the RR50 one) is just bad, the other 2 are fine. AOE snare can be good for RvR.

I'd run this at RR50 instead:
RoR.builders - Knight of the Blazing Sun

RR should be Futile Strikes 3, then max parry, then max wounds up to 10.5k.

Staggering Impact is not very good... When you are RR 50 and go for Staggering Impact you miss many other stuff...
The skill Reduced the chance to defend by 10%..

So if your Target has 30% Parry, with your Staggering impact, the parry chance drops to 27%^^^it's not flat 10%^^

You should always run rugged, you need that bullshit unless you already have like 900toughness with your aura.
The 160toughness is too much to give up as a tactic, you will die fast without, squisher than a dps and lower in dmg output.

Are You sure about this? I was thinking that kobs and BGs debuffs are flat%.
