KotBS vs IB

[Orpheus66]

I'm playing IB right now (lvl19) and it is fun but man I really love how KotBS looks when you hide the helmet. So whats the compare and contrast between these two classes?

KoBS is in higher demand for group play. The auras are hard to beat. IB is going to have better damage.

Kotbs is always in high demand due to aura buffs but man is it boring.

In contrast, ib has a lot of abilities and is very strong in solo and 6-man but the weakest tank for warband play.

At the end of the day a tank is a tank. You will always find a group.

That's too bad, while I enjoy Warbands I find them boring at times (just standing around waiting) whereas in Scenarios I'm always doing something

I think I will stick with IB. I like the mechanics and I like the damage but man I hate the looks

Knight/SM has more synergy with WL/BW.
IB has more synergy with physical dps that lack an armor debuff like slayer, asw, wh, wp, etc.

Every group wants 2 tanks so generally you run a knight and Second tank is SM or IB generally depending on which dps you have in a balanced group.

Try the Black Guard, has the same mechanics and even more offensive than IB and doesnt look like a potato hahaha
