Return of Reckoning

Setting aside how good (or not) pve is in this game, you have quite a lot of content for it, featuring campaign missions, dungeons (one of them is for characters 16+, others are usually done on 40), pqs and tome unlocks, and you can definitely do all of that. You'll however have issues with finding ...

To my information IB has guard, challenge and hold the line, so it's nowhere near useless. Tanks are needed anyway, and lacking unique group utility doesn't mean ib won't find a spot in most warband. The only thing you'll struggle with (if it's anyway similar to BG) is getting sheer protection numbe...

I'll answer you in place of zul then. Blorc grants (from top of my head, I don't play one) fast morale generation, party buffs ranging from random stats to resistances, healing, shields for whole party and AA buff. I might have missed something here... Ah yes, better survivability (1/3 block channel...

Difference isn't big, but chosen, while having no tactic comparable to block for hate, has ctbc- and oppression, both of those giving it better survivability when avoidances aren't playing a major role. In particular toughness buff that BG could theoretically use to get good survivability when flank...

This is about where it should be mentioned that BG is also the only tank that is ultimately more useful for a warband 2H than snb, at least one of those. Then you bring two amazing utility abilities in AoE snare and aoe crit debuff. In snb on the other hand BG is only as good as you enjoy playing it...

There's one pretty big issue with snb BG utility, and that is there's not a lot of it. Even after adding survivability tools everything you have in your tree is mid tree without block channel (which, trust me, you want to take anyway for a multitude of reasons I'll try to mention later) and elite tr...

@redsun except what emiliorv wrote, which, mind you, is a very efficient exchange (kotbs with all the utility it provides with no moral Vs BG with lack of anything but morals - drained), I do agree that making the ability affect only one tank would keep it relevant in important settings, just as not...

Redsun i agree, making snb BG useful because of its normal abilities would be ok. With that being said, overpowered ability like this in group fights comes with a hefty price of taking snb BG with almost no other utility, except aoe snare. I, for example, think that if someone enjoys playing class t...

It's once every 3 minutes on the only destro tank with no morale pump, which also accidentally provides only one other important warband play relevant skill: snare, which you can also take on 2H BG. You can safely assume that this one skill is everything BG was there for. It is powerful but class ha...
