Well ofc knight have many tools to play with but also some serious weakness as 2h like a not so high parry compared to the other tanks. While chousen still have his parry buff skill, knight can be punted more easily even in the face. The old runefang (which i remind you was a core and free) kinda solved that problem but then devs decided to completely rework it and move to the 3d tree first then even delete it as no one wanted to take it anymore.
And finally speaking about current version of Runefang, i dont see the reasons why its so high on points now what you cant even take it with +2 sov... this is pure trolling because you need only one point to complete the build with Runefang. Why its one point off is it so OP? Sorry i dont get it. And then we have 9 points channeling skill Mirmidia's Fury in the same tree which no one takes and it only holds the place what a shame...
Dont get your ranting. Also quite alot of wild false claims i sense
> serious weakness as 2h like a not so high parry compared to the other tanks
which they in the end overcome with gear /shrug
> knight can be punted more easily even in the face
not true, every kotbs was overstacking parry with gear with mixes of alike (
https://killboard.returnofreckoning.com ... 434/armory, there are different 3/3/3 or 3/3/2 mixes around, common is to slot every piece of gear with +parry on it)
atm with new options meta evolves, changes, so people go like this
https://killboard.returnofreckoning.com ... 915/armory
https://killboard.returnofreckoning.com ... 214/armory
But they are breaking classic trispec for Shatter Confidence, abandoning AP aura as ive told you already.
Kotbs was never a good pick to focus in 6v6 as by itemization they were always been built very tanky cause its not possible to bring any kind of meaningful assist dmg anyways.
> The old runefang (which i remind you was a core and free) kinda solved that problem
It didnt solve any problem, it made kotbs a great solo roam pick. It was fun and entertaining to pug around as one but
it had absolutely no effect into any competetive play
> this is pure trolling because you need only one point to complete the build with Runefang
What build are u talking about? look man, kotbs will not do nor good burst nor sustain as its role is enabler = shining blade + shatter confidence + overpowering swing + wounds debuff. it opens up possiblities to boost DPS on focused target. it never had any kind of meaningful assist dmg, it was always
DESIGNED like that for group play.
Also nothing prohibits you to go with 6p off sov, take runefang, skip KD for solo yolo roam/pugging around take everything you want from masteries.
For me its clear you want a build with all utility plus boosted assist damage, but Runefang will not help you much, even with high str/ws you will still have nor meaningful sustain nor proper burst. IB burst comes from stacking up alot of dots which all have sync ticks, SM sustain comes from different dmg type on many skills it has etc. Kotbs design has nothing to do proper assist dmg. what are u expecting to do actually? PS'ing with high str/ws? Not gonna work out. Most of kotbs dmg skills have very low scalers so boosting out str/ws will not do a wonder.

This part i fully agree tho, runefang aint OP, nor it fits in any kind of competetive play as i see it atm. MF is literaly a joke, it was the worst channel before patch, havent yet tested tank channels again, but dont think much has changed in this regards.
