Is oath stone good? I never played ib on live and here I'm full brotherhood atm

I figured with how your willpower progresses grumble and mutter would be really good for sustain?

Grumble and mutter is mostly a soloing skill, it will never save you from anything besides a 1vs1 or 1vs2.

Oathstone is great if they use any aoe, even if not for Oathstone, shield mastery is too good of a tactic with snb to pass up.

With the new cap i really dont see much more options for Ibs:

2h http://waronlinebuilder.org/#career=ib; ... ;;;0:0:0:0:

The problem comes with Snb, losing aoe snare or the healdebuff is a big no no and we still cannot run grumble and mutter and oathbound, so we would still be running :

SnB http://waronlinebuilder.org/#career=ib; ... :;;0:0:0:0: Now you just dont need rr 40 for the magic shield.

Something experimental would be **** like:

http://waronlinebuilder.org/#career=ib; ... :;;0:0:0:0: But i would not recommend it at all, losing the aoe snare is too much for 10% block and -5% damage, imo.

2H build wise i think its critical to have punishing knock over parry

You would be giving up 30% parry and 10% damage for the heal debuff, i can see some situations of it being good but 30% parry is too good for you as 2h to ditch it so easily.

Also mind its also 25% parry for your guarded target, which means even less guard damage for you.

Running this currently with parry spec in nown and parry ring for the quest.
Earth shaker is good for spiking a target, snaring guys that are out of range for your slayers.
cave in is very nice for letting your slayer deal out spikes on a target instead of using their rage on the KD

it's a good mix of DPS CC and utility.

For a party with 2 healers, KotBS(shield with DT, stagger,+heal and super-punt) and 2 dps in a group-vs-pug-zerg type of engagements with the occasional enemy decent premades - how should IB spec? (str with shield+axe)
I was thinking alog the lines of this, where IB can knockback lots of enemies that are trying to surround the group, provide an extra great aoe-slow, an outgoing heal-debuff and decent enough armor debuff if one dps switches to slayer which are great when the party fights another premade.
Am I missing something here?
