The text on the ability says anyone who uses detaunt on you will automatically dispelled. I assume that means if you are directedly detaunted or hit by a aoe detaunt you wont be effected by it. That could be used for 2H builds for anti-healers.

Maybe that could be true IF it was in the first Tactic slot(4pts to unlock), but TWELVE? Lol. Don't BG have the same Tactic, but in the first slot of Anguish?

It's not great to use it in groups because you are not responsible for damage. Usually a typical 2h group build has flexibility for one tactic slot and there are way better tactics to choose from.

In duo, you can make it work. It has it's niche uses but it's not that useful because you are the lowest priority for single target detaunt. A smart enemy will detaunt your partner rather than you. So even here, there are better tactics to choose from.

In solo, this can be useful against enemies who rely on detaunting when you catch them while they're trying to kite you. However, unless you get a well timed stun with all your dots and taunt up, it will still be very difficult to kill healers.

To conclude, it's a C tier tactic with very limited use.

its worse than C tier, it should not be used under any circumstance

If youre using anything other than https://builder.returnofreckoning.com/c ... 92,3108&t= then you should rethink your life and play a different class

The best 2H knight build doesn't even have runefang.

Feels bad man. :(

Its wrong to have a "play this or you suck" mentality.

While the build is cookie cutter and run by every 2h knight and their mothers because of its effectiveness, you should feel free to experiment and explore with builds that work for you and your allies (without being a deadweight of course).
