i'm sorry but that build you linked is terrible. there's absolutely no point to spec any points into vigilance path for a solo snb.

And i'd say even as 2h kotbs there's no point to go higher than 4 points into vigilance path, just to get coordination tactic to synergize with runefang if you're a 2h parry duelist, but that's it.

btw i'm not running 2 reflects, i never used OYG. I run 2 conquest aura (PTA/AoA) wich gives me 20% armor pen on Myrmidia's fury. And 1 Glory aura (GYR) wich is mandatory imo, and that one gives the new absorb buff from Shield of the Sun reflect wich is a must.


And no, 2h Kotbs are not "more deadly". they might spare a bit more dps situationaly because of higher armor pen but at the cost of having waaaaaayyy less survivabilty than snb kotbs. And being alive is the key to be deadly.

Imo 2h kotbs just underperform compared to snbs, i've spent around 10k warcrests recently to make test on dummies/real fights. and I was really disapointed with it.

I might do more test in the future, trying new stuff. But i think it's going to be the same struggle. And that make me sad because lorewise 2h kotbs is damn cool

Snb is as deadly as diabetis. Sure, you kill stuff with the stacked dot and undefendable aura, but only because of your plethora of regen paired with a lot mitigation, absorb and prevention in form of block.
It's basically a def WE in slower and less sexy.

Damn, it's funny how kotbs went from "worst order tank to perform in solo" to "op as a Regen WE" just because someone like me make it real and beat in 1v1 most of the serious soloers on the server, lol.

People always need to put others down because they fail at elevating themselves.

Dont let these get to you personally, i dont think any of the posts here were against you, more against the tanky builds in general.

We might have similar case as the infamous gilgam here. The block is just so incredibly strong stat in 1v1 situations that there is almost no point fighting it. Its one of the cases which you really cant counter, specially now with as you cant lower block under half of the original value. only way to deal dmg to it is the morale, and that will be regenerated before you can add to it.

There really is very few truly undefendable attacks in the game, Chosen and DoK has some, magus gets this "virtually" undefendable fireball, meaning that by using super expensive tactic slot you only get blocked 1/3rds of the time, . And im sorry to say, I probably wouldnt watch fight where snb tank uses maybe 2 abilities+dmg aura versus lets say dok spamming his undefendable healing hit (whatever its called) its just not spectator friendly.

What we really need, is to get builds with high risk and high reward be more viable.
