I was going to bring up, Slice Through, but damn. Not worth it.

I'm still not convinced Focused Mending is as good as everyone thinks it is. In large part, because it requires you to run Stay Focused!, which does not scale. Anytime you take an aura with no debuff, it needs to be SO good, that it makes up for 24 people not being debuffed. That's a lot to ask for from an aura, and making 6 people get healed for 15% more doesn't seem like enough. Obviously, the value scale shifts as you go to smaller-scale fights.

I'm still noodling over this: https://builder.returnofreckoning.com/c ... 7,8058,503 and may give it more of a try in the near future. Dirty Tricks feels like a bandaid compared to Overpowering Swings, 6 people +5% to crit seems WAY worse than EVERYONE +10% to crit on a lot of targets, and both take a tactic. There's a scaling factor here again that I struggle with. Anyway, appreciate the thoughts, definitely going to look over them more.

I'm running 2 piece off-sov, 5 warlord, and 2 triumph (iirc), and for gems it's either 3 +40 hp regen items, or three genesis items. I'll get the triumph jewel eventually and decide on a weapon and may actually go do PvE to get what I need unless I decide Fortress Claymore is good enough (the run speed proc is nice).

Due to KN's low mobility, i prefer 2 charge procs (weapon and rr), and ~ x3 anticrit for no damage spikes

Dirty Tricks provide +5% (was higher but order is too op) to entire party (excluding you ofc) mainly dd and HEALERS, while OS grant +10% inc crit which helps only dd and can be negated by rr/gear/tactics/skills that provide enemy high anticrit.
If you remove both DT and FM, you cripple your party a lot, as ror is about outgoing damage vs incoming damage, and your healers will have a hard time to outheal inc dmg.

For m1 its up to you, but remember that SH can pop your 3600 absorb with 1 click, for me its either Demolish (cause kn has no armor debuff outside of equip) or ChCh (no running away)
RoR.builders - Knight of the Blazing Sun
Crypts and Tunnels.
If its a same proc as other lifetap procs on weapons, like its likely is, it got nerfed with the abilities patch- its now mitigated by armor.
Interesting.
