BO Victorious or OF Sov for 2h

[Faellyn]

Was wondering what BO run for endgame 2h set? See alot of BO running 5 sov 3 warlord for 2h set but noticed some BO are running 6 Victorious 2 warlord lately was wondering everyone's opinions on what is the better set for BO?

[Godsider7]

I'm curious too, as my BO is 5 off sov, 3 wl with sent jewel.
I am saving up for ranked copy jewel.
I was thinking of trying out 5 off sov, 2 ranked, 2 wl

I run 6 off sov + 3 victorious, for wounds bonus and +2 masteries, but it's for SM, dunno if you need the mastery bonus for BO.
If not, and provided you are using wounds tactic, both options from Godsider7 looks good too.

Otherwise you probably will sit around 8k HP, wich is a bit low for a tank, especially 2H where you need extra survivability on top of damage.

The biggest upside of the 5/2/2 gear set would be the extra strength bonus from all 3 sets. Wounds are compromised, as I chose the toughness tactic over wounds one. My BO is at 8.8 wounds now without the wounds tactic slotted. after pots he is at 700 or so str, 700 tough, 418 ws.

5 Sov/4 Victorious/Forteress 2H is really good because you'll have 9.5 HP without talisman/tactic

8,8 k wounds is to low on a tank, you will have under 8k hp when a kotbs is going to wounds debuff you.
I would say get atleast 9,5 k wounds.

I was working on a 5 warlord, 2 DPS sov, 2 victorious set. I put my BO on the back burner for now though.

With those armor sets and Boon (2h from BB/BE influence), along with the other strength boosts (talismans, potions, renown points), I would have:
1025 str
459 WS
554 tough
953 wou
189 melee power
4776 armor

That's a strength, melee power, and armor penetration build with no emphasis on melee crit. I was using the Bloodlord 2h but it eats into armor a little too much for my liking.

what about chance to be crit hit and parry?

I suggest to go 4x FS/TB and full parry on every 2h tank, rest is up to you.
