You want him to do big crits or just simply more dmg without losing all defenses?
From what I've seen / understood IB works more as a dot type of class.

It has crit bonus on channel, and crit tactic which i wanted to utilize, but even when critting, the channel hits most of the times roughly 300-400 per hit. thats with 900 str and 600ws+10 armorpen built in channel.

You want street rep!
And for that you need BIG CRITS!
Not gonna happen with IB. Just give up and move along...

Tbh, 400 per tick on a channel doesn't seem super bad for a tank. How many times does it hit? 6x in 3s? If its like that then its fairly good chunk of dmg.

its is in 1170 dmg in 3s, so kinda around there. I quess it can also be that the extra crit dmg ist that much per hit OR it can be that the channel just breaks often (i stopped using channel with my BO for this reason and went with AA build)

You're doing great and i think what holds you back the most is that your mechanic takes a lot of build up time, but without grumble and mutter you can't really play the long game as well as you used to on IB.

yeah, I now dropped the crit tactic, and took the kd reduction/toughnes instead. now its just another tank roaming around.
Was toying with idea of dwarven riposte too, that would help me sit on top of my grudges more which would then scale the dmg faster, against melee dps that is... against casters its waste of tactic mostly unless i get the to AA me in melee.
