Imho if you also take Runefang and swap tactic setups based on your targets, im fairly certain your results would be even better.
Keep in mind Runefang will be up pretty much all the time even with lower parry against a fast hitting melee ( WE, Mara etc) .
Well, i already explained in details why im not using runefang/coordination combo, this is too much situational, even if you can proc it sometimes this not worth the less points in glory.
i don't wanna trade my overall dps and survivability for an hypotethic 10 sec minor dps boost that require to swap tactic wich can be something very punitive, especialy if you got adds and then you don't have the right tactics to fight the adds, it's something happens almost 80% of the time when you're roaming solo.
i mean lets say you have coordination + runefang, you have at best 30% parry counting the parry buff on shield rush (you're not gonna spend any renown points in +parry ofc, there's more important stuff to grab instead)
then you need to fight a class that doing a high quantity of damage (like a WE) to proc runefang regulary, wich is already situational.
So now you got runefang buff for 10 sec you need to profit from it, and the best is certainly use a myrmidias fury for it right ?
So now you need to be in a setup that using myrmidia's fury rn is worth it, but this is also situational because sometimes you don't wanna start a channeling and instead you just need to use a fast snare, or a punt, or you need to refresh your defensives skill because big damages incoming.
So you're not even sure to find the right spot to drop MF perfectly when runefang is up. Wich is situational.
AND you also need to consider that MF can be interupted xD
And like i said to Reynor, when you are bis geared you can hit the Strength softcap pretty easily with m2 emperor's champion wich is a really strong skill. that buff that give you 250 str,tough,wounds considering that buffing wounds is a straight heal of your hp pool of 2500 hp. You definitly want to use that m2 most of the time.
So you don't really need that +150 strength from runefang, ofc you might be strength debuffed sometimes and then you don't hit the softcap even under m2 buff.
but like i said, considering runefang is very stiuational, considering it requires to lock 2 tactics for it (or swap tactic wich can be really punitive) considering that speccing into those tactics will just lower the values of all glory skills.
I think it's just not worth it.
And like i said to reynor it's based on my experience, wich means that i have tested this on the battlefield. This is not just theorycrafting or speculations x)
Now, i wanna say.. i understand that peoples find my build doesnt look sexy at all, i mean there is no glamorous synergies, this is the steak/potatoes of the kotbs. Classic meal, nothing original, but it works well and it's pretty meta for solo
