Return of Reckoning

Ummmm stack Corporeal, not Elemental

Well, try to have both at a good value, but Corp is more important imho due to Boiling Blood (and their Corp resist debuff).

Overlord helm and ahoulders combined with dom gear would be my priority, not the sc axe until then! But i hear the sc weapon is amazing

I gave up running from BW's long time ago, there's no escaping I just run towards them now, sometimes I get lucky

Sad thing is Elemental is my highest resist and I still get obliterated, feelsbadman.

Collateral is absolutely right, the dps on a SnB Blorc is not to be hushed at ~ it'd greatly aid you against BWs aswell.

HtL is life, HtL is love.

Using a resistance pot instead of armor is a feasible approach for blorcs, given their various armorbuffs, iirc.

Ohhhhh it's Corp, I thought most of what I was hit with was Elemental, hadn't looked at BW's in forever.

God damn Boiling Blood...god I hate that spell.

Thanks for the tips guys, I'll look at the pieces and see what ones I want to do for Dom. Probably buy the belt(can't wear it yet boo) and go from there.

Not really for a 2H BO since they can't use Tuffer 'n Nails (requires a shield), and We'z Bigger kinda sucks. Though in SnB you are correct; I don't use armor pots on mine.

Speaking of resists, if you see a lot of SMs around, you might want to consider using Don't bother me none! and Da Greenest! since their spirit resist buffs stack.

Just use Closetgoblin and have several tactic/gear setups ready so you can adapt immediately depending on who you are fighting.

One cannot emphasize enough how important and gamechanging this actually is!
Dunno who brought about the notion that there is a swissknife approach to things.

Whats more important to the 2h BO, stacking offensive stats or have alot of strikethrough?

Honestly? Survivability, for me.

Str serves as strikethrough in its own right, you don't want to chew through natural and true avoidance.
Getting parried by SWs, Slayer, WLs and Engis - only because their weaponskill exceeds your mainstat - is a horrible thing to happen.

If you wanna go full glass yourself: crit > Str > static strikethrough (setboni mostly) > else.

Dead 2h blorcs are a liability, moreso than 2h tanks are by default.

To be completely honest, if you want to maximise a 2h DPS BO, get someone to guard you and then play as if you were a DPS. We did it a year ago with a lol dps bo and sorc com0 (korze on sorc), and it worked vs all bar lob/enigma. You feel the lack of a heal debuff

Some of the most fun we ever had was running a Chosen/BO/2h Bo/marauder comp. Huge crits on SYF with tactic equipped.

Otherwise, playing 2h feels meh unless you have really, really good main tank & heals.

Ot: get gear first.
