Solo/duo BO builds

[Shieldslam]

I run snb as BO solo roam, currently in full warlord, and it works just fine in 1v1 situations or 1vX when enemies are at a lower gear level.
Went full warlord with the expectation the ability would be a party wide absorb to be viable for smallscale/WB as well, it's not. So it's easily exchangable with off set pieces gaining more regen.
Treewise it's full right tree till waagh and mid tree till not in da face.
There are careers that are tough or even impossible to beat, but I dont think 2h has a much higher chance against those. (Dps heals, high regen tanks/melees)

Not only do you lack pressure with that build, given that you're going full defense with right/middle tree and snb, but also the ability to end fights in a somewhat decent timeframe. I'd imagine most people either just walk away from you or straight up ignore you. Generally speaking any tank who looks prepared and is carrying a shield isn't even worth attacking when you're solo unless you're AM/SHAM/Mag.
I'm glad it works for you, according to your post, but I highly doubt it's viable against anything but newer/unexperienced players. One big advantage 2h has is simply its dps output, the fact that you can possibly end fights quickly which gives your opponents less time to react/disengage and also a lower chance of being zerged. I've recently had multiple fights with a solo snb full def BG which obviously took quite some time and we weren't able to finish a single one due to either of us being attacked by someone else. It's the same story with a reflect build, what could someone possibly do against something that on paper outsustains you over a long period of time? Simply don't engage in the first place, I imagine your build falls into that "walk away" category unfortunately.

Fortunately a lot of the solo roamers were up for a duel or just thought they could grind the snb tank before anyone else arrives.
Toons name is Grabnek, can check the names and fights if interested, haven't played it in a while, though. Dmg-wise it's pretty good for a still quite tanky setup. You've got a little burst with taunted kd and shut your face with aa and dot running in the background, the rest is ofc slower than 2h.
Beeing kited is pretty much the same as any other tank. You got your root, snare, kd and with shield you can at least hold the line while trying to catch whatever you are chasing.
