Dps black orc

[footpatrol2]

I'm looking for the meanest black orc dps build. I assume this can be done with a 2hnder or is SnB the meanest build? I assume SnB is not the highest dps build. I do not care about survivability. If you can give up survivability for more damage I want to know about it. I'm looking for a glass cannon dps build. Ideally spike damage but sustained is welcome also. Hopefully I can get like 2 or 3 builds out of this post.

I usually play my BO hyper defensive or in a medium range of good survivability and damage. I usually play as one of the main tanks in a 2/2/2 set up. I am somewhat out of my comfort zone with a all out dps build. I can make assumptions but would like to see other people's builds and inputs that have been playing a all out dps build on the BO. I want to hear from the dedicated dps black orcs. I want raw damage and care less about utility. If there are neat tricks thou that would be nice to know.

What amount of strength is being used? I assume soft cap?

What amount of weaponskill is being used?

What is your crit chance?

What is your spec?

What are your preferred tactics for use?

Do you use a different set of tactics given a different opposition? vs casters? vs mdps? vs tanks?

Are people using focused offense?

What kind of gear are you using?

How do you spec your renown?

Roughly what is your wounds and armor value?

Roughly what is your rotation?

Thanks ahead of time.

Don't care about survivability, huh?

That will give you the highest possible crits on Shut Yer Face (you could hit even harder if you put more points in the right tree, but THC is mandatory on the left tree).

That's pretty much Parvun's spec (he had more points to spare though; once you are rr40-70 you want to get Not in da Face and put the rest in the right tree for more SYF damage).

After you die several times (you will) you might want to try a different spec. Dalgrimmar can help you with 2H builds im sure.

interesting no gork smash. I thought that would be in there for sure. So the above is spike damage not sustained? or sustained also?

That was his rr100 spec, with much better gear and more renown points = more crit. He didn't need GS that much.

Currently in RoR? I would use GS instead of FO. But you asked for the highest burst spec... the one i linked will crit less often but when it does it will hit harder. Super squishy though; so i'd recommend using one of those points from the right tree and grabbing Gork Smash, so your tactics are GaBC, GS, SYG and CYHMN.

Stab ye Gooder: Mandatory for more crit damage.
CYHMN: Mandatory for spike (biggest crit will come from SYF)

Last 2 slots: Focused Offense + GaBC (highest burst when you crit, super squishy) or Gork Smash + GaBC (better sustained damage due to more crits, much less squishy).

I want both. A sustained build and a spike build. Thanks penril.

Those specs are only for lol dps though and have zero utility. If you want a bit of both, i would run this (i ran this on live whenever i went 2H, which wasn't that often, except that i used No Choppin Me instead of GaBC):

You keep the AoE snare and still have great sustained damage. You can replace one or two tactics if you feel squishy, and you can run this in SnB as well. In that case just replace GaBC with YSMBD (morale tactic).

Or you could run my favorite SnB solo spec:

DYG hits like a truck, and you have THC + NidF. No AoE snare though but as i mentioned, this is mostly for soloing. If SnB, replace GaBC with Gud wif Shield, and depending on how squishy you feel, Rugged or Gork Smash with AAO or Loudmouth.

'Down ya go' is mandatory - massive dmg and it gives you some time after it to do a lot more damage.

Go with mercenary gear, anni gear is relatively poopish.

Defesive(Brute's Theft of Strengt) and Defensive(Brute's Theft of Weapon Skill)? I saw many Parvun's videos and never understand this. Maybe for my language problem

you miss out on vital points in Da Boss! (which increases your biggest burst ability in the game - Shut Yer Face), and points in Da Brawler. For max DPS Brawler/Boss is best.

also 'Defensive brute strength' etc is the 'Da Biggest!' stat steal buffs. they are passive

[Penril]

Down Ye Go is mandatory... if you are soloing. Brawler/Toughest ftw. For a group it is better to go Brawler/Boss for stat steal and AoE snare. Unless you are solo tanking; then Toughest/Boss might be better for more CC.

BO is different than KotBS: they don't have one spec that is useful for every single playstyle. They need to respec accordingly to every specific role they want to fill.
