I am currently on the fence about how to spend my renown ability points.
Currently i have been going for enough initiative to have 0% chance to be crit. but from there on i simply draw a blank.
What would you spend RR points on if you want to make the tankiest SnB KotBS?

Futile Strikes to 0% crit. Getting crit is very bad. This helps you from all attacks even from behind.

Rest in Avoidance parry, block, dodge. Prioritize parry first as it procs runefang and reduces guard damage the most per point.

If 2h drop points in block and just take parry, dodge. Extra points in stats or whatever u want.

If you are leveling you can put points into strength/parry for killing pve solo. In t1 and t2 u can do alot of damage cause people have low armor and avoidance.

If i'm a 3% chance of being crit with FS, when RuneFang procs (Initiative Buff) does my chance of being crit drop below zero ?

That depends on your original initiative. The formula is: (7.5*<attacker effective rank>+50)/<defender initiative>/10.

I've got an old picture explaining that it, not sure if there still are 120 stat debuffs, everything else should be relevant.

Futile Strikes can reduce your chance to be crit "below zero", it will be reducing your enemies crit chance. (if you have -3% being crit hit, and your attacker has 20%, the result will be a 17% crit chance).
