Note, OP, HtL is one of the strongest abilities in the game, for obvious reasons. Avoidance is king, as it comes to defensive stats, they do not only mitigate damage, but completly negate it - and not just damage, but statuseffects and CC (e.g.: armordebuff, resisdebuff, HD, snare, punts, [r]kds, ...).Collateral wrote:The problem with running a 2h tank in a premade full of mdps is that you lose HTL. Yes you can max out your DD with rr, but if you're bellow 40, I doubt you have enough rr to come even close to min-maxing your char rr wise. And with that problem, comes the problem that order has a crap ton of rdps. Any decent rdps will focus the 2h tank, there are no second thoughts, and especially if he's squishy/lowbie. You kill the tank in seconds, mdps lose guard/HTL, and gg.
I recommend you look at the BO build thread. There is literally no reason for you not to go snb in a premade. And trust me, if you build right, you won't lose almost any damage.
Keep in mind, sub40's have garbage resistance by default, even more so without a Chosen tagging along - a BW can still crit 2-3k on sub40's, regardless of their class; just half of the rotation will kill you about three times if you are sub40.
Don't neglect your lack of wounds either - you really want to live through a BW burst at all costs, especially if you are 2h and already handicapped as it comes to guard(damage).
