super boring build duel(vid)

[hogun]

the truth about oathstone is that the developers have made a surprising choice that is a big up from Oathstone.
originally, oathstone only returned 4 attacks automatically. since the skill modification, it's +100% blocking for 10s + anti cc.
i think that's way too much for this skill. but i have to say that considering the other nerfs on this class, it's a compensation i guess.

its fun, I fought Badchosen at least 2 years ago in TC, and it took us less than 30 seconds to realize that there would be no winner.

I think Gilgam plays his IB well; he just lacks humility because he dies too much in solo kills. But in the end, who is truly humble? Not me, at least. He has a 40/1 ratio... For example, MDPV had a ratio of 140/1 the last time I checked. Very good duelists usually have ratios of 80+.( number of kill= time to play/ ratio = skill)

Anyway, I know his build very well... because it's not his build, nor mine for that matter, since I copied it from the GM of the Fureur guild (an old French guild in live serveur). This build is not OP (even with the improved OathStone skill). You just need to understand the game mechanics and have a good rotation to optimize your damage return. From experience, I can say that very good players do not die against this build. I remember Knock Knock would deliberately detaunt me and turn his back while laughing with his very good regen build; he couldn't kill me either Healers, even average ones, cannot die against this build, and no tank regen can die against this build. A good Shaman will also kill this IB, just like a Magus with a defensive spec. However, all opponents with an offensive channeling risk a nasty surprise."
juste look my old video and its easy to understand rotation and how to counter i think.

ps : I'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate the only person who's killed me in a duel since the killboard was created and who put an end to my immortality game. GJ Meanest , you brain me very well ! i hate you

I already defeated this chosen in qu'aph because he wanted to show me that I wouldn't be able to drop his health. It took some time, though.

I have tried to fight vs wc guards using different builds and tactics but they still hit me for 40k damage (I think they are OP). I died a lot while leveling up because I started playing this game in december 23. My last solo death from an actual fight was in april, and I still had invader gear.

Maybe shamans and defensive maguses can kill this build, but I haven't found any who can. In fact, dps shamans are easy kills.

Oathstone ends after 4 blocks, it's as easy as testing it against a mob.

I acknowledge that you are a better solo IB than me, though, and I check your killboard sometimes to see what abilities and gear you are using. I always try to learn from the best.

I think that most people start their reasoning with the wrong premise: they think this game requieres skill. It doesn't. It's not a competitive PvP game. It's not even a PvP focused game, it's an RvR focused game.

Gimping yourself and not using your career's abilities is not honorable, it's stupid. Soloing requieres min maxing, you can make a build that survives everything but kills nothing, you can go glass cannon, you can the find middle ground, etc.

When it comes to PvP, if your enemies hate you and you are having fun, then you are doing it right. If your enemies love because they can kill you and you are not having fun, then you are doing it wrong.

Oathstone has been in the game for years and it used to hit harder (or at least that's what old posts seem to imply). When I was leveling up I was told It was a shitty ability, but I still tried it because I liked the description. It's incredible how much pain and suffering it's causing destro these days. By what some people are saying you would think that oathstone just one shots everything.

tell us how U nicely exploiting and abusing block and speed.

Many others good IB's with similar gear or even more focused on defense dont block even half attacks as U do... Especially from behind...

So dont speak with Us about skill

Maybe position hack that are present in wow arena and the old loved Speed hack maybe Also the tactics when disrupt that proc Speed but he dont use that tact....Speed hack i doubt that too....not First time e reach me in subspect speed gaining Edge....however Now in these Two days they fixed oathstone but still ib snb is op

[thorunir]

Is oathstone still bugged? 10 sec 100% block? I am almost sure that it is, but I don't have a chance to test it. Can someone goes in PVE get 20 mobs aggro and show the block list?
Like this is a morale lasting 10 sec every 30 sec

Till 4/5 days ago yes i tried It.....and Yesterday i retrayed they fixed it

"Abusing block and speed", how am I abusing block? Block is random and I have 40% block chance, do people that have over 70% parry "abuse" parry? And what do you mean with abusing speed?

I can block from behind because of my strong back. My recommendation is to include deadlifts with slow eccentric, barbell rows with a pause at the top, seal rows with a pause at the top, pause at the top strict chest to bar pull ups and heavy slam ball lifts (80kg-100kg balls are good enough) and you will see your back grow like crazy and become a shield.

People saying oathstone is still bugged: https://youtu.be/9kSOuRWT_xQ?feature=shared

U block me many times from back too ive video Also while my friend hitting in da face u block some of my attack i was perfectly behind u....server latency...bugged block dunno but happened Also vs other tanks....so can be a bug but Ur class has tò many strange bug

[hogun]

it's completely right oathstone has been corrected its new ? now only 4 block good

Gilgam's right: you can kill a shaman if he's not careful. All you have to do is, upp 100% grunge, take him by surprise on his channeling, then stun him with a shield to finish him off.

but they have to be no good and not understand the IB game.

I'm at 730str, 120 melee power and 576 ws unbuffed right now, so the damage at 100 grudges is not too bad (grudges are very important for damage, which is something that a lot of people seem to ignore).

Also, if I see a solo sham, zealot or dok I change my tactics to focused offense, punishing knock, rising anger and sweet revenge, so I have killed a lot of healers (without armor or toughness talis), even with detaunt up.

Oathstone was fixed around mid july.

And about my supposed speed hacking:
