You forget to say that Kotbs mirror ability staggering impact removes 10% defences to everybody for your realm and its 30ft while rending blade is just a plain undefendable low dmg aoe with low cd and 25ft and nothing more...Thaodan wrote: Wed Feb 07, 2024 1:37 pmSimilar also the mirror ability for the KotBS. The ability does ok damage with enough targets but since it's a physical damage ability it is much easier to reduce the impact of the damage. Also it can be blocked/parried compared to the mirror ability which can't be defended against.diegomess wrote: Tue Feb 06, 2024 6:37 pm .......... now that 13 points abilities of class are changing for the better can we look at Rending blade for chosen? the most underwhelming 13pnt ability of any tank? a plain low dmg boring aoe that should be core anyways......
Skeletor will return with more chad tips.
Chosen now can remove 10% defences but to one target only and a tactic is needed.
and if u were talking about arching swing which is more similar to rending blade a 13pt ability then hell... kobs swing is a core low cd ability that removes wounds and with a tactic gives 10% crit to your entire realm similar to BG 13pt ability.
you could argue that chosen can combine corruptive power tactic with rending blade to be more effective but also needs the crit tactic because you need to crit ppl to activate it and in the end you dont need an aoe for that also its in the mid tree which is the snb tree, so what you need 2 tactics to make an ability "useful"?.... and guess what kobs have always had this tactic "dirty tricks" which you just need to stand still and block and will give it to your entire party while chosen needs to go close in 2h and land a crit.
