What do you guys prefer (Renown Spec) for OrvR in warbands / roaming groups?

Deft Defender (+ chance to disrupt) or Defender (+ block chance)?

[Braer]

First of all, I must say I only played the free trial on live WAR.

I'm a huge fan of Warhammer Fantasy and I do play greenskins on tabletop but here I am a huge noob, playing for the first time a Black Orc.

I would like to do dps (or be something else than a meatshield/kick people) but I've been told that BO only function is to soak.

Is there a 2H remotely viable? If I go purely tank (which I'm doing right now) what stats should I look for and what build should I use?

Thank you a lot in advance and pardon me for my possibly bad english

No point in stacking disrupt on blorc a measly 10% wont go anything vis high int lvl casters like am or bw, if you want to kill casters and have high magic immunity roll a BG

If bws are bothering you too much stack initative, futile strikes or tb later down the line

Or you could just get rock ard to mitigate some of the dmg

Better to get str, tough, block may be crit chance for giggles no need for ws yet since follow me lead is their

It is very possible to do dps on black orc and furthermore black orc does very respectable physical damage for a tank because of the gork smash and stab you gooder tactic
2h is viable and fun but I prefer to use SnB for survivability but you can still do good dmg even if you go SnB
The typical dps build now is this

the 4th tactic is what even you want it to be, and here on RoR cant hit me and down you go are switched places so the 9th point tactic is down you go knock down

with this build tree hit combo, shut your face and down you go all hit very hard hell I don’t know if you saw the thread but black orcs who spec down you go who also slot stab you gooder tactic when they crit with DYG are able to do like 1k dmg
so yes dps black orc is strong and black orc is not just a meat shield whose there to take hits

what exactly do you mean by skill order?

do you mean in a fight how you should you rotate your abilties at each stage of your plan mechanic?

i cant awsner that casue it is always situational for what abilites to use but 60% of the time the best ability to use when starting a fight is follow me lead for ws buff then armor debuff is usually next best to use

their is no set rotation so use your best judgement

[Alubert]

BO armour buff can stack with others armours buff like potions, dok convenant?

[Sulorie]

They shouldn't stack. Engi/magus had the only armor buffs which stacked.

[Azarael]

Flak Jacket and Daemonic Armor should stack with other armor buffs?
