I'm playing a 2H Ironbreaker. My goal is to be strong in 1v1 situations while still being useful for my group. I want to be an independent "fortress" that can eventually kill the enemy.

Here is my current plan for blocks and rotation. Please let me know if this makes sense for a Level 24 IB:

I have a mouse with 6 side buttons (on mine, F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, and F6) and a scroll wheel with right and left click (F7, F8, and Alt + F7 and F8). Then Q, E, R, T, F, G, and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

F7 - Oath Friend & F8 Guard: Always active before the fight starts. Oath Friend on the Healer, Guard on the person taking the most heat to act as my "Grudge Battery."

Q - Axe Toss: Used while approaching the enemy to start generating Grudge early.

Pressure (Main Damage Rotation)

• 1. F1 - Grudging Blow: My basic builder to generate Grudge.

• 2. F2 - Stone Breaker: Armor debuff and damage.

• 3. F3 - Heavy Blow: Dot.

• 4. F4 - Binding Grudge: My snare. Essential to keep enemies from running away.

• 5. F5 - Rune-Etched Axe: (Armor Debuff) and Aoe dmage.

• 6. F6 Vengefull Strike

That was my damage rotation. Now here are all the other abilities.

• Alt F7 - Challenge

• Alt F8 - Taunt

• Q - Axe Toss

• E - Grip of Stone

• R - Away With Ye

• T - Guarded Attack

• F- Inspiring Attack

• G- Deflect Oil

• 1 - Sever Blessing

• 2 - Juggernaut

• 3 - Ancestor's Fury

• 4 - Grudge Unleashed

• 5- Stubborn As Stone

I currently use Q to G and 1 to 5 too rarely, am still very inexperienced, and am concentrating on my rotation. I'm also not entirely sure which of these are really important and when I need to use them. Some abilities are self-explanatory, while others are not.

Actually, I'm a fan of arranging everything sensibly according to purpose and use so that I can remember everything better. Everything that prepares for battle, everything that is the main rotation, everything that supports, and everything that saves my life and that of my Oath Friend.

My Questions:

Does this priority list work for solo/small-scale PvP at my rank?
Are there any essential Brags I am missing for 1v2 situations?
Should I focus more on the 'Vengeance' tree to increase my kill pressure?"

As a budding DD Irobreaker, could you give me some valuable tips, especially about rotation? I would really appreciate it!

It feels like my SM or Kobs is better damage dealer now while having bigger impact for entire group rather than boosting only one oathfriend survivability.

Even Knight is better than IB with 2 hander? Dont Knight do really low damage?

Thank you very much for your answers and tips on rotation. I'm sorry, but I have to admit that I've given up on this class. I'm now playing Witch Hunter and Squig Herder.

I'm relatively new and am trying out lots of classes. I'm really enjoying both of the ones I mentioned at the moment.
