IB is only good when assisting mdps. Not all groups run with slayers.

well bw+kotbs and ib+hj is fine as well ina group :>

But tbh: If you still dont know what to play, play a BG. looks better than fugly knight, has a better skillcap and is viable even as turbo mega survive tank (despite ppl saying otherwise), since you still got tons of debuffs to annoy enemy healers/rdps for ages on your own.

Edit: and your Wounds/Tough/Armor Debuffs are also always useable in melee Trains as well!

seriously im all for baroque Germanic armor but it cant compete the sheer badassery of BG armor

Actually i prefered the look of all the previous sets to Sov, except their helms, the Sov one was the only that u were allowed to show without killing everyone with aesthetic sense on sight ;P
Warlord was kinda supercool: Tyrant also, but basically a mix of others with the coolest shoulder's plates: EDIT: i keep trying to find the Annihilator picture, actually, i liked them all since they move from light plate to heavy armoured fortresses.

Completely fair affirmation, U can walk arund the game and find every one of those things they placed in the helms as decoration around, except for Sov one was basically a design choice of "What?? Whr is the dont show button??"

Not necessarily- the one that I used for example (as SnB dps). Better healing, the AA speed boost from Hastened Doom gives a nice dmg boost, which unlike crits isn't affected by Trivial Blows, on top of wounds debuff (and makes Enraged Beating useless since you don't AA during channel), Malekith's Bulwark helps alot vs bw spikes, as well as all the other classes which do nonphysical dmg, and detaunt ignore helps vs all the healers which remember to detaunt, and know to use toughness spec instead of max Will (on my dps zealot, with toughness spec, I didn't even used detaunt on dps tanks which tried to solo me).

Problem is, good sws were still the bane of my existence- Endless Pursuit does nothing vs those, and I could kill ams just fine without it.

Would love to see videos of him going vs good sws though :p And what I posted above- if a healing rp died to him, that rp was using Will spec instead of toughness one, wasn't using armor tactic (it did stuck with pot didn't it?), ets. Even if the bg was using a detaunt ignore tactic, good rp just shouldn't die to him.

I remember a time (before 1.3.8 where I quit) that people actually avoided using those skills because they would be a dps-loss when compared to spamable skills + autoattacks.
I just wondered if this still is the case and anyone knows.

Yep they did, which is why I didn't used Enraged Beating on bg (specially that I used Hastened Doom tactic which gave AA speed boost).
