also toughness should *cough* contribute to block *cough* this would clear up the "why is nobody playing snb anymore" debate

If no one plays SnB (which i believe is not true) then maybe some past changes should be reverted. A few that come to mind are Encouraged Aim and Tree Hit Combo being usable only in 2H, or having shorter CDs on some skills with a 2H than with SnB. When i was part of the team i remember a certain someone's aim was to make 2H more attractive, which ended up with several unnecessary SnB nerfs (and 2H buffs, like 2H BG getting a KD and other stuff).

Having Toughness contribute to block would only be a band-aid. Probably a pretty bad one. It might be similar to, idk, giving everyone a +35 initiative increase just to counter Initiative debuffs.

Cough cough kobs tactics dont, its still viable frankly as s+b just ppl prefere offensive crits than half off and half heal.
And then you have super punt problem which is mostly why ppl take 2h on both classes.

Chosen /bo moral pump i understand are hard to balance but those are thing that could be rewamped or re buff a bit cuz they are linked to fire and forget stuff unlike kobs passive buff worth 15renown point for the whole.group active 100% of the time (aka 15 x 6=90 rp) and work on block as does BG 5 sec KD.

Especially Ch/bo/ib have really zero encouragement to spec s+b (or even worst and indicative of the problem spec mid mastery!!!!) exept if you like s+b or in case of chosen you are just **** in 2h (exept punt)..and touch of palsy work regardless..

Its seems a lifetime ago and Ive played so many mmos since but could guard damage be parried on live?

I don't think so.

Thinking != believing. Guard could always be parried.
A lack of knowledge alone is not bad; but when it gets together with resistance to advice and is crowned by arrogance, one can achieve to look very stupid very fast.

Should I stack block > parry > disrupt &dodge
or should I do parry > disrupt & dodge > block
maybe block > dodge & disrupt > parry ?
??????????
