Return of Reckoning

Instead of turning this into a petty argument that lasts multiple pages and achieves nothing, maybe @Muurloen would be kind enough to share some of his findings through his experience with 2H KOTBS.

What builds/sets have you found the most success with? What are some Pros/Cons you've encountered? What careers give you the most trouble? etc. Thanks!

I really like the sound of this. Could you share any details please?

It's not hard really:
- mix any 3 sets for most possible str (including offensive sov jewel AND sentinel jewel as it sits in 3rd and 4th slot of your jewelry)
- get Might V renown rank
- slot Mighty Soul tactic
- slot the Emperor's Champion M2 - you will have great burst in that time slot

Cons: you will melt hardcore under any pressure AND guard damage, noone will keep you alive against any competent dps pressure

Would be interesting to find out what spec Muurloen is using.

No offense kmark101, but besides possibly the first point in your list, everything else you said sounds just straight-out bad. Your cons are accurate, but there are no pros. Even with all that, your damage will be low, your survivability lower.

And as a tank picking anything over Distracting Bellow in group fights is NAUGHTY!

I agree, but that's because Kotbs is a bad dps class? Anyway, that's the way to reach those (or higher) numbers, like it or not. Earlier, before Runefang nerf, you could do it with physical damage with WS, but now thats not a great path (despite that my knight is physical dps built, but only because I hate the Mighty Soul tactic and had to settle with much lower damage potential because of that). Pros are... the damage output? Come duel me and I'll show you how it works.

Unfortunately, if you want to play a 2h Knight, you're better off playing a SM or Chosen
