Make sure you use Challenge when enemy dps are near.

Punt/KD immediate threats away from your squishies.

Guard. Guardguardguardguard guard guard guard. Know that guard only has 30 ft range and that you support your team by slowing the damage they take to manageable levels. Swap guard when needed to accomplish this. Your main button should be guard. Does this all seem over the top? It is because so (so so so) many bloody tanks don't do these three basics things.

You want to be the best, start with the basics.

Paths depend on what you want to do. Saying "the best BG on the server" is vague as the BG has at least 2 separate rolls, dps or (classic) tank, using 2hand for dps and sword and shield for tank roles. Discusing SnB (sword and board... sword and shield that is) as dps here is not considered for this discussion.

So, you want to be the "best" BG in ... what role? For either one, you should have gear for your off-spec as a back-up for your mates/WB.

there is no "best bg" because BEST is a irrilevant term in a private server. You can be a USEFUL black guard depending on your role. You wanna know about 2 handed BG or S&B bg?

Off-topic: I always thought that SnB was for Shield-and-Blade. Was I wrong?

I play scenarios and I see tanks destroying me, while I do no damage not even to healers, also in RVR. I wanna be that BG that people are like AYEEEEEE RUUUUUN :twisted:

Right now I use 2H spear and path is 20 in the first one with crimson death but I dont see Im useful most of the time
