Yesterday my friend and I, he also plays on the Knight with two-handed weapon, we tried to check the counter damage of the OYG aura, the Knight had 20% armor penetration and 800str, I was on my White Lion he had about 70% armor (BL+Dominator sets) and OYG dealt only 50 damage to my Lion after my friend on the Knight decided to never use OYG aura and instead began using the All Out Assault aura all the time. :lol:

Personally I am all for the KotBS.

I think the key word is that the KotBS could deal damage but LESS damage than a dps. There is the drawback.

Like doing good enough damage with a 2H, but swinging VERY slow, resulting in less than average DPS.

Or rising his execute skill to top tier, but only when it critics, to do some kills while bearing a one handed weapon and shield.

The current nerfed state is just plain sad.

I think devs could give to Kotbs armor debuff but only for great weapon as they did with WP and the problem would go away on its own but it should be in the path of Conquest.

As I wrote before the Perserverance ability for 2h Knight is almost useless (armor potions instead) and I only use it in shield spec with Vigilance together to prevent removal last, so it can be somehow changed for great weapon to be more useful.

Myrmidia's Fury now is good it is damage per second shown and the question is what patch is this archive, it seems 2008 cause a Shining Blade need to learn in Path of Vigilance and Vigilance ability has a different icon and OYG too and even Shatter Confidence. Damage numbers were increased in subsequent patches.


The Runefang also gave then 100-80 more strength and 100-80 more weapon skills or it is a loss of 6-7% armor penetration now and from the loss of strength somewhere minus 4-5% damage.

So this is the second argument why you can give to Kotbs an armor debuff, first as i said before cause destr tanks have 2 armor debuffs but order tanks only 1 ...
