Return of Reckoning

To be fair, solo roaming and maybe duo or meme parties are the only environments 2h tank dps matters. Everywhere else you got your DPSs and a whole other job as tank.
So it's fine to see it in that aspect.

Chosen wasn't supposed to be buffed with this patch, it was a compensation for the hit they took with the new setup of aoe and st buffs/debuffs.
If it feels the same like prepatch they've done a good job. If it feels like a slight buff they might even need to tone it down a bit. (jk)

Upping the maximum resist defences could be an option. Never quite understood why it's softcapped at 40 (35?)% with all the debuffs around.
Investing in resistences would be as benefitial as going heavy on armor then.

What do you mean it's not a DPS patch? It's a DPS patch if it impacts the DPS and this one clearly does. [...]

As far as I understood the BO patch they took an invisible RR buff from all around the lake and switched it to the BO buffs. So theoretically, as long as you didn't cap all 4 BOs you should receive less than prepatch.(not sure about exact buff values, though, 4 BO buffs might exceed the prepatch ...

Always fun to fight your IB, at least more fun than against your engie and when in the right spec. :?

I think IB can be a well rounded solo beast atm, though I would definitely go 10/6/13 without the channel.
Pretty sure the old volgograd tutorial regarding rotation is the way to go with buffing ...

You can see the pots go on cooldown regardless so won't make a difference. Nor it really matters since everyone uses potions anyway.

Meant for the opponent, not the viewer.
