Dear BG's; Please consider specing soul killer

[Coryphaus]

I figured that with the with the raise to 24 the new and better spec would be obvious but their are still those want to be cute with 600 tough or slotting inc crit chance

I'm here to humbly implore that you spec soul killer, a 20s 50% outgoing heal debuff tied to a no cooldown ability allows you run through the Ordo back lines and tag every with healer with this debuff

Math wise if we say a healer heals on avg for 600 on a target this debuff when applied to the healer it's now 300, add in a chop inc hdebuff on the target being healed and it becomes an eaisly manageable 150 and this is not factoring additional debuff from mind killer wp debuff

Also you can still be durable because you shield of rage dmg absorb threshold is inc and your dmg too b/c of the buff to your self str buff

Lastly you can grab choking fury which is amazing in this stage of the game and can cripple a targets effectiveness when suddenly all thier abilities cost 50-60 ap and they burn through thier ap pool

Agreed!

And you still have enough for Choking Fury, BG is OP again!!

[Nanji]

Don't forget to cover your hd with another debuff before you leave since it can be removed by wps and ams.

BG is far from op. Therefore you need to compare him with ib.
How to compete with an undefendable kick (fixed yet?) and a kd, both on 10s cd?
Despite that, if an ib is stupid enough to specc the outgoing hd, it can NOT be removed by the usual dest healer (dok). Furthermore ib has the better buffs like parry, crit, armor and a double kick now with an extra snare. Ib snares can not be cleansed by the dok....

If a premade looses with an ib or even 2 that premade must suck.
Deal with it! BG is not and will not ever be OP.

undefendable kick (fixed yet?)

[Azarael]

Oh, I see I forgot to close the report on Away With Ye, but it's actually been fixed for a while, hence the flippant response.

lol blackguard is op now ... some people are really clueless :p

Remember that the blackguard is the hardest class to play in the game, with lots of abilities on hotbars and lots of micro-management. You are working hard as a blackguard for a not that great performance.

Also the class was greatly crippled when the 30% aoe damage nerf hit the game, it removed a lot for fun from the class because all the hard hitters were aoe, and now all hard hitter of BG are gone lol.
The nerf made that just nobody specced for crimson death, wich was suposed to balance knight crit buffs; look how BG's version has to be micro-managed, requires a 2H weapon, only has 50% uptime, needs to be reapplied every 10sec and ony affect ennemies that could not defend bg's cone attack instead of everybody in a circle aroud the knight, for me it's a good example of "BG have to work twice has hard for half the effects".

[Coryphaus]

Yep basically...Ordo is easy mode
