Return of Reckoning

At lvl 40, this is a pretty straightforward single-target build: https://builder.returnofreckoning.com/career/magus/s?l=40&r=40&tl=4&mp=0&pA=13&pB=0&pC=9&m1=false&m2=false&m3=false&m4=false&ma=8502,8496,8495,8501&mm=&mt=&t=8522,563,8513 As a fr...

The side that can literally mow down tank lines by ignoring their stacked defensive stats is the side that wins all of forts/keeps. Hmmm what a shocker.

If you use the "mines" (the nurglings) then you get bitched at because you are giving CC immunity with them. If you try to spec for Rift, you will be disappointed because all the Choppas spamming GtdC are going to cause you to see nothing but "immune" everywhere. In WBs the most ...

Now, when you Rift with a Magus all you see is "immune" everywhere because GtdC is spammed non-stop. Rift is useless unless no Choppas are around.

A tank without KD (even the shitty SM one) is unacceptable, be it in city, 6-24 man roaming or sc's. BIS gear for 2h SM: Cloak, belt and jewel from triumphant rest offensive sov for the +2 khaine mastery points 2 genesis (the one with str+3%parry and the one that gives initiative) All str tallies p...

As I understand it as an SM I'll be expected to slot Whispering Wind in groups. What should I sacrifice for this? Does anyone have a tinkered build they'd mind sharing for WB play? If you don't have a +2 Khaine/+2 Hoeth on your armor set, then I wouldn't bother going WW with 2-hander. You will be m...

I've used high mitigation/avoidance builds for 2H SM across all aspects of the game. In rvr you are the hardest-to-be-killed tank on order. In city/scenarios you the best order tank for handling guard damage. Yes you lose damage and utility, but you'll be the best order tank at driving and stabilis...

If they take Focused Offense and build for it, they should be able to come close. Don't think a tank with 15% damage boost at the cost of having the same armour as a mdps and speccing full offensive will ever come close to a mdps class at the same gear level. That's why I should THEY SHOULD BE able...

TL; DR - "doesn't X and Y like a true DPS class." Perhaps because you're not? Do you expect DPS tanks to do as well as DPS classes, too? If they take Focused Offense and build for it, they should be able to come close. It's like you just ignore everything in the build except the fact that...

Im reminded of a saying about leading a horse to water at this point. Also dps RP and zealots are also a thing at the top end and are used by (if i remember correctly) LBL and NGE (at least in recent cities). Your stuck in the past man and the game has moved forward. so called "fluff" dam...
