[IB] useful in WB?

Gilgam, it would be interesting to see you with a two-handed hammer in roam and how much maximum efficiency you can squeeze out of such a build.

Yes!

I don't think I would do any better than any of the other 2h IB's out there.

But let's not derail this post any further.

Im sure you would rock the socks off from many WE's. Just try it.

But to get back to topic, IB is good for WB play. It does not have the kotb auras, but the sheer amount of buffs it can give to dps in party (both if u can juggle oathfriend) is awesome.

We did get a sort of nerf dressed as a fix to Stubborn as Stone. The auto attack haste no longer affects your Oath Friend. No more buffing your melee dps bro into a hasted, damage and crit boosted god of white dmg.

It kind of sux cus other tanks have great group buffs, but we could turn one dps into a brute. No they even reduced that :-/

A little honesty wouldn’t hurt. Yes, solo IB needs a nerf! Just like other classes, such as stealth/endurance regen builds. The obsession with making unkillable builds is clearly draining the fun out of the game.

A lot of people think they’re good players, but maybe it’s time for some of them to realize that it’s not about skill—it’s about the class. Try doing the same thing with a Sorcerer or a Slayer, and we’ll see if the results are the same. (By the way, respect to those who pull off great performances with those classes—props).

But back to IB—its utility in groups is massive, and if it gets nerfed, it’ll only be because some players' egos can’t handle the fact that they’re not the duelists they think they are.

I'm currently roaming on dps zealot, and I have a solo roaming sorc. And I'm telling you that you sound like someone who got ganked too many times by a solo roamers.

I think you shouldn't speculate about what you don't know because, clearly, you're not very good at it. But thanks for making me smile!

Great that you are not even denying it then. Now, it however is never too late to learn, you can start from reading class guides, you can find those here on class subforums. Also, you can ask questions there, as well as ingame in /ad channel. Glad I could help.

I’m no expert on IB, and honestly I’ve been stumbling thru it learning by trial and error. What are you referring to when you say their group utility is massive?

Wtf when did this happen? That's so dumb, the whole point of a tank is to buff and support his comrades....

As if the class needs more nerfing - we already lost grumble n mutter...
