[Knight of the Blazing Sun] Tactics, Builds, Strategies

[Nishka]

Oh yes the stagger... 3 sec from 8 was an overkill. But I'd imagine the level of destro whine if kotbses would get a viable stagger again.
Stay focused isn't that bad at all.

Stay Focused ticks for about 30. It is easily the worst aura Knights have if it does not have the tactic.

Ap issues are easily solved just by using Perseverance.

I may be wrong here, but I think stay focused can crit heal.
Perseverance was great before it's nerf, but now it doesn't give ap when Holding The Line, which was the primary use of this skill back in the days. For me, at least.
Ap regen rate was prob nerfed/fixed as well, but it may be just my imagination.
But Stay Focused still gives ap while holding the line and is pretty good as it because of increased dodge/disrupt rate when HTL.

Does Blazing Blade work like on live where any stacks over 1 wouldn't get strength contribution?

Anyone know?

Haven't tried many times, but it seems so.

And, if my group needs stagger -

Though, i think that stagger is in dead state now, 3s it's nothing, it's only free immunities giveaway.

the only reason to use stay focused is this http://waronlinebuilder.org/#career=kot ... :;;0:0:0:0:

Then you realize chosen also has 3s stagger.

A lot of tanks have a "dps spec"

does knight have one? i basically so far did soulchegs solo play build and stack parry + WS to try and inc my runefang proc chance

and am running runefang, rugged and gilded shield

wish 2h kotbs had more options....or was good for that matter

[Soulcheg]

Well, if you want to ele damage, there's Mighty Soul tactic - http://waronlinebuilder.org/#career=kot ... 0:;0:0:0:0:

You should also have Duelist set, Taunt proc is a very nice one.

Don't think there's much skills only for 2h.

[TenTonHammer]

Eh the probelm is that there is no staple damaging ability in glory to warrent not only that many points but also that tatic atleast thats how i feel, im not very experinced with kobs

what is the opinion about staggering impact? A 10% reduced chance defend from all attacks sounds like it will result in a pretty significant dmg boost not only for you but also your team

It's not particularly good but yes.

Stack STR/Crit/Parry/Wounds as you like. Emperor's champion + runefang + Precision Strike spam = damage. Str/AoA/OYG or Stand Strong as your auras.

You'll get tons of fluff damage, maybe even KB. Burst is prettymuch nonexistant though.

Well, about the tactic, some of your your dmg becomes ele, so you won't need to worry about high armor percentage of your target, so with high strength, runefang, taunt procs - you can spam core abilities, and see nice damage, and if they have low ele resist - well

Maybe that kind of build wiil do - http://waronlinebuilder.org/#career=kot ... 077:3087:0:

Shinig Blade, Vicious Slash, Blazing Blade and Unbalancing Atack, heal debuff aura, stagger and Emperor's Champion proc - i think i will try that build later, didn't tested it HERE yet


About first tree, maybe like this - http://waronlinebuilder.org/#career=kot ... 4:;0:0:0:0:

Personally, i think 10% is not very much, when someone defending, and if your target has a shield - block check always goes first, and only then goes parry check, MDD relies more on the parry abilities and morales, coz not much rr points goes into parry now, and healers have a low parry at start, so i really don't know if this abilitie good or bad

[Valnak]

Well, about the tactic, all your dmg becomes ele,

No it doesn't.

Only these abilities:

1. Blazing Blade
2. Vicious Slash
3. Shatter Confidence
4. Unbalancing attack.
5. Heaven's Fury
