Re: Role of 2H SM: Backlines Bodyguard

Ok first off just b/c you taunt a target dosnt mean you debuff the enemys dmg vs allies only challenge does that furthermore an upwards 20% dmg boost sound freakin ridiculous and over the top I never said it will debuff their damage, or act as Challenge. What it will do is force them to attack YOU ...

Re: Role of 2H SM: Backlines Bodyguard

Wow, had no idea this would turn into what it has. Penril - great suggestions, seriously. Well done! For tanks specifically, their problem is the lack of a niche/role in high-lvl coordinated group play. They can pubstomp all day, but that's really not good enough. I think the ability to remove guard...

Re: Role of 2H SM: Backlines Bodyguard

I've played a shitload of SCs and I can tell you in every single one you have MDPS storming the backline. Veterans or not. EDIT - Also, with enough balance changes maybe we could see this new role being developed? Change the meta and whatnot? Thats because at 20 most tanks dont have their good cc t...

Re: Role of 2H SM: Backlines Bodyguard

I've played a shitload of SCs and I can tell you in every single one you have MDPS storming the backline. Veterans or not. Sure, at the 1% highest possible level of play with 4 6-mans going at it, 2H Tanks don't have a role. But for the rest of the players, I think it could be a fun approach. EDIT -...

Re: Role of 2H SM: Backlines Bodyguard

He means you should never theorycraft around low level play, it is a waste of time. For SM you should probably be building around the fact you will be fighting against the meta destro 6 man of DoK/Zealot/Mara/Choppa/Chosen/BG. I really hate the current meta, it is basically built around the fact th...

Re: Role of 2H SM: Backlines Bodyguard

You rely on the fact that people won't hit you. If we attack a RP and a 2H SM guards him and tries to protec his backlines, we just kill him. Fast. How? We will focus the RP and the SM will take huge amounts of guard damage without a shield. The RP will be busy healing himself and at that moment we...

Re: Role of 2H SM: Backlines Bodyguard

The fundamental issue is that 2Hs are not made as vital to tank DPS as they should be. I believe in the Q&A someone linked with the last Mythic balancer, the issue of 2H-requirement abilities not being considered as being on even footing with MDPS abilities in terms of damage because "taaa...

Re: Role of 2H SM: Backlines Bodyguard

A SnB Swordmaster can fill this same role and do it better. I disagree. The main idea behind it is that you're fighting targets who aren't hitting you, thus making the increased dps from 2H better. The extra utility and "oh-shit" buttons (M1 - Challenge) you bring versus a regular MDPS is...

Role of 2H SM: Backlines Bodyguard

I know you're so excited to talk about 2H tanks again, yay! But let's be honest...there are a ton of people who like to play 2H tank. They should be able to if they want. Hear me out. I will be primarily talking about 2H Swordmaster, since they're weird and don't seem to fit anywhere else, but fit t...

Re: classes role

Also yes - Strength will need to contribute to healing somehow. There are multiple ways to do this: 1) Vamp - % of Ability damage dealt turns into healing. This allows the +dps gained from STR to contribute directly to heals. Downside is that it's affected by mitigation from target making it less us...
