While playing in my set group, I don't think i have been afflicted once by Rampage... tbh, nobody, who got a half decent BG or Borc in the group, shouldn't.

1) Stack WS instead, MS was a means to an end until you can get better gearforsa wrote: ↑Wed Oct 28, 2020 1:02 pm1) This topic is about MS, and ways for kn to deal dmg.
2)Please stop this ignorant preaching explaining how abilities and morales work, we all know it (and reading closer, it seems way better than you do).
3)Based on what you write you are theorycrafting for the sake of the argument. If you want to continue derailing and writing about BO's CHM and BG NSP, please do it in another topic. I get it that you have a bg, but topic is about kn.
4)All that you write about city ST party that does not need healing, positioning, swapping tactics and auras amid fight - just shows that you have never been in one (at least on order). Pls stop, you are embarrassing yourself.
5)The more i read, the more i suspect that you lack high lvl geared kn. For example when SmackdownNinja wrote about BG, i instantly loaded mine to test and provide numbers and facts. I suggest you do the same.
You are yet to specify what 2h kn build you are using in teh city, what equip and what rr you spec.
I will gladly try it on my kn as i have almost all high lvl gear available in game.
2) Please explain with evidence why I'm possibly incorrect, I've tested these morales over the past few months on multiple tanks.
3) I'm explaining it on the basis of your argument that DB isn't always a must have.
4) Adjusting your set up mid siege (if required) is how to optimally play a tank or any class for that matter. Simple example is switching to dps tactics in stage 2 of city. You are accusing me of not even playing the game?
5) I am only running some beastlord atm, have over 500 weapon skill, doing more damage than I did with a lot less and MS. Looking at a warlord/sov/beastlord to get my weapon skill pushing 700 on top of the +6% armor pen from warlord. If there's a better way to max my WS would love to know. Will be happy to show you the damage I do to targets once I obtain said gear.
Since you most likely have the gear already maybe you can try it (if you haven't). Would be nice damage for a knight, especially with multiple armour debuffs on a target.
I think we have different levels of understanding of tanks and the different ways they can be played in warbands :/

Re: Mighty Soul Removed?!
While it's true that Rampage can be Shattered by BG/BO/DoK, it's not the most reliable thing to do. FIrst of all, buffs always get shattered in the order they were applied, so you can bury Rampage between some buffs. Second, Shatter can be parried. Removing Rampage is a priority and should be done. The best way to do so is use your Waaaaaaagh or Chop Fasta and get behind the Slayer, which isn't always a safe thing to do. So sometimes it can take 5 globals to remove a Rampage and it's too late at that point.
In RvR, removing Rampage isn't a very viable option in my experience. You have to try to get target on the Slayer in the zerg, through the lag of all of the people, extreme lag-inducing blast pots and Inevitable Dooms. If your tanks are god tier and can remove Rampage from 4 Slayers (an arbitrary number, probably what I would expect to see in an RvR fight) then awesome. In the very likely event that Rampage doesn't get removed, your tanks are paper vs Slayers. There is -NOTHING- in the game that can replicate this level of power. Destro tanks are very poweful on paper but Rampage turns them to paper in large-scale fighting.
Anyway, we're getting off-scope for this thread. Remember, we're talking about Knight damage. We have proven through SS and Video evidence that Knight damage is incredibly low. Now we have to ask ourselves, should Knights have more damage? Do they offer so much more utility than other tanks that they can't be justified to have reasonable damage? Survivability? Good looks? My conclusion will be coming soon, so keep an eye out!

Re: Mighty Soul Removed?!
My original reply to you was when you brought up the BG, so idk how I was the one derailing. You linked a build stating that you could get 800-1000 toughness which wasn't true because you had no rugged. I tested it on BIS gear (5 off sov, 3 WL) and didn't get close to the numbers you posted. Sure you can get more toughness depending on what sets your using, but your going to hit like a noodle regardless with the str listed above. 370 str unbuffed is no where close to the str needed to do decent assist dps. I see you didn't even post how much ws you had, so I would imagine it is also very low. You need both str and ws as physical attacker to do noticeable dmg. My point is that you can't have those high numbers in toughness without giving up a valuable tactics or giving up a ton of str and ws. Sure you can skew the results using difference sets, and what not. But your str and ws will take a hit to hard, like the numbers you have posted above. The KOTBS makes up for the lack of damage with numerous amounts of the utility and auras the class has, have a good one!forsa wrote: ↑Tue Oct 27, 2020 4:55 pmGlad that we have a BG to speak his concer about MS, oh wait.SmackdownNinja wrote: ↑Tue Oct 27, 2020 10:42 am
You won't get near that much toughness unless you also run rugged (160 toughness tactic). Unless you are running alot of toughness talis, but that cuts into your damage too much. So that means you would have to remove either wounds debuff tactic, 15% crit, or the parry tactic. Which cuts into your utility, ability to guard, or dps by a good margin. And that is in BIS, let alone RR 60. Not to mention you also have to hit a target for the effect to go off, which makes it harder to keep up in some situations, rather then Vigilance which can be toggled without hitting a target.
Post is about MS, Vigil is a component to let 2h knight survive a bit longer.
But if you want to, lets have a short derail.
My conq (wound) +beast equipped BG has meager 363 Tough without rugged, that transforms into 665 though after TF+ FOW.
If I increase it to godly ~480 toughness by means of equipping better sets/jewl ill instantly achieve 800 tough.
Imagine if i had 620 toughnessAlso dunno what ability to dps you are talking about, but my 370 str bg (~480 after self buff) hits waaay stronger than my full sov kn.Spoiler:
Probably has something to do with x2 armor debuff (i can even drop TF for antidetaunt) but im probably missing something.
Lets try again: 100% uptime + unshatterable and no drawback vs 10sec on 30 sec cd -shatterable -25% damage.
Kn has the worst damage. It is widely considered that KN has some mega op super surviveability compared to other tanks.
In reality BG and BO have much better tools, due to unshatterable nature and uptime.
On Live, all tanks had their thing. Kn had lowest dmg, but m2+RF granted situational burst for +/- 30 sec. No burst here.
MS, had some use for lol dps, now there is no such thing.

Again, what you are saying is conclusively incorrect. You talk about swapping tactics and morales mid-fight. You drop combat, wait 10 seconds, then change tactics? No, you don't, no one does.detrap wrote: ↑Wed Oct 28, 2020 3:15 pm

You do more damage with WS and no MS? No, you don't. Even with WS, you aren't reaching near the levels of unmitigated damage as you were with MS. If you are doing more damage, you've had some serious gear upgrade along the lines of Str, Weapon DPS, maybe you learned how to use Taunt. Stacking a ton of WS on a Knight doesn't even make sense in the current state of Knight damage. Your optimal damage seems to be between Blazing Blade, which is Ele on the DoT and WS has no impact; and PS, let's take a look at WS scaling for PS, shall we?

Using Shield Wall is criminally incorrect. If you are ever in a situation where Shield Wall is offering your -TEAM- better survivability than Bellow, your team is taking so much damage that there is no expectation you should ever live, or perhaps you aren't invested enough in Guard avoidance in the first place. Try using Shield Rush.
While I appreciate some of your creative ideas and your passion for the game, you have very little credibility. You post all these opinion pieces with no evidence and the experience of every Veteran player is almost completely opposite of what you say.

Re: Mighty Soul Removed?!
Please read my previous posts in regards to swapping abilities during a siege. If you don't swap to dps tactics when killing champs in stage 2, you are not helping your warband. You are not considered to be 'in combat' when attacking champs, so you can easily flip tactics back if the enemy shows up. If I have a heal debuff aura and see the healers are blobbed together, I would switch to it. You can change tactics when you are dead/respawned or at the start/end of each stage, can't you?Uchoo wrote: ↑Wed Oct 28, 2020 6:47 pmAgain, what you are saying is conclusively incorrect.

Having 600-700 Weaponskill, with the equivalent or more in strength, +6% armor pen with warlord, and considering PS ignores 25% armor, combine with armour debuffs...You will do significantly more damage. Ask any good dps IB, they just do it better.
The imaged you reference only shows a player with 250 weaponskill. A knight can get upwards of 40-50% armor penetration from weaponskill alone.
In regards to shield wall. Don't bash it till you try it (if you haven't). Like I said bellow is only 30ft and SW guarantees all guard damage from ∞ range is blocked. Some warbands have ranged classes, so SW is especially helpful in that scenario because they are not usually blobbed up for a good bellow. This is why Can't Hit Me, WODS, Oathstone and None Shall Pass are strong in regards to this. A good example is when trying to guard a light armour champ in stage 3 city as a non champ, DB alone won't be enough to keep you alive, you want to maintain that guard buff for as long as they are being focused.
I could get almost 60% block with shield rush, however there is no comparison and healers are left trying to heal me while desperately spreading the heals on my guard. Shield rush needs to land and any defensive procs need to trigger at the same time. SW is as easy as using it, body blocking their push, taking almost no damage and all the heals can be poured into your guard as well as other members of the warband. Use shield wall during a blob push and look at your combat log, and ask your own healers was it easier to focus heal the guarded mdps compared to using bellow?
Again please don't make assumptions of my level of experience as being a warranted reason to dismiss my case. I'm just explaining what is read on the tooltips, I've tried and tested these abilities on multiple tanks. IB's don't need shield wall if they have Oathstone, and 2h SM's can use WOD's to hit 100% on all their defence stats (minus block) to have the same effect. However those are not passive abilities unlike SW.
The ways of playing a tank is not built as a one or two way street and I presume some players feel the class can be boring because they believe it is. This is what makes this game great!

There is quite a long list of how to prevent getting affected by Rampage, to shatter it is only one.
Stagger it (if the aggro fatty have immunity, someone in the group/wb have done something wrong from the start), punt (same this with the immunity), KD (same), root (same), disarm (same), snare, simply stay away once the aggro fatty pops Rampage etc. etc. It basicly boils down to a l2p issue (that's best beaten by competence and practice, not a cry out on the forum... which im sure we're not gonna get saved from).
Upon all this, Rampage also have to be popped in the right moment for it to be useful in the slighest.

The logic of this man is a vivid example of why destruction loses forts. The only thing I do not understand is why there is no renown trainer in the fort and each of them does not require 10 gold for respec. This was firstly used to restrain inflation and secondly once and for all taught to go to the fort in their main spec.
