Point taken. It's generally accepted that Discord up to Quake is sufficient for the resist buff/debuff; however, in my experience, you are correct - you can never have too much resists. That said, I do like the "Undefendable" nature of RB for those classes with very high Block, Dodge, Parry as well as to finish off that kiter who is just out of range (assuming Quake is on CD or they have immunity).Panzerkasper wrote: Root, quake, snare and flee+ap pot are your anti kiting tools. Throwing axes also proc the covenant, they have a higher range and a lower cooldown. So before sinking points in the dread tree just for RB, I would rather invest it in discord tu push the res aura.
RB is situational at best and fluff damage at worst in larger than 6v6. Your point about better discord is probably the smart play. Then again, we are talking about maining a GW Chosen - the opposite of smart play.
I have never mained a GW Chosen. I have almost always been SnB support. The times I did rock the GW in SCs for fun, I found the damage to be lackluster. That said, I had moderate GW specific Gear and was not well practiced at the art. There are a lot more experienced GW Chosen players out there who can give you what needs to be changed an specific detail. For me, I'd like to see a Focused Offense tactic without the 33% armor debuff or a FO tactic that is greater than 15% (say around 25%) damage increase for equal percentage of armor loss 25/25%, 30/30% but make it only apply when using a 2-handed weapon. The Chosen is touted as "easy mode" because of the aura change and the purely defensive role the SnB specs do very well in game. That said, to really contribute on a def spec chosen, you need to do more and be more than just a guard and KD bot. It's not the most challenging class to play, but it's still challenging to play well.GodlessCrom wrote:A bit off topic, but what would you fellas like seeing done to 2h chosen to make it more viable (short of reverting CS nerf). I agree with Panzer that it's the worst spec of the most boring class in the game (even knight is more fun, and better in basically every way, especially but not only as 2h) which is a shame because it's one of the coolest classes from a lore and looks standpoint.
