Indeed full hoeth and use blurring shock on focused targets. Also get crashing wave from vaul mastery, once saw Cythe crit with it for like 2k dmg due to both hits critting while SnB.

Ok that what I try actually:

SnB dps with more resistance and survivability

with (waiting BL set)
Domi: boots+belt
Annih: Body+shoulders
Merc: Helm+gloves

SnB dps specific dot
RoR.builders - Sword Master
equip same with Body+shoulders domi

For the accessory dont know if it better rvr jewel, pve set armor or other ?

thanks

there is no reason to go snb as SM. The kd is mediocre (and both the kobs or ib in your group have one) and they're actually MORE tanky with WODS.

So, while stacking toughness, I was planning to play S&B. Then I won a purple bag in CW, with the 2h MasterBlade of the Subjugatorand it's speed proc on being hit. Which made me wonder, should I tank as s&b or 2h.
Having this spec in mind, as I think WW > GWM : RoR.builders - Sword Master
Not about the reduced CD, but being able to stun+silence 2 targets, and the extra 82 resist debuff from Heaven's Blade (compared to going Khaine for GWM)

S&B:
Block chance : with RR and Conq gear, you can get around 20ish% block (higher with jewelries but you lose parry, so i'll half-ignore it).
Hold the Line : 45% dodge/disrupt for you + 15% for people behind you

2H:
Wall of Darting Steel : 50 parry/dodge/disrupt for you only. But it has parry!
Look : you don't have a shield, people might think you're dps and actually hit you instead of another target
Weapon : 20% speed buff, which helps either by moving faster when guard swapping to your back line or sticking to your current guard


Any thought for S&B vs 2H?
Would you go for another spec/items?
Thanks!


PS : one week later, I believe S&B is more efficient, part of because blocking is passive while WoDS requires you to channel and doesn't buff your backlines like HtL

Does anyone have screenshots of the SM 1h purple bag sword and shield (stats and proc description)?

You can see the stats in the armory, there are some lucky guys that got them.

Sword has a dot proc.
Shield has an absorb proc.

I'm still waiting to get them...

Dont get your hopes up. Came back after 5 month hiatus and the first thing I did in RvR was whack-a-mole a (empty) keep lord for 20 minutes
