Return of Reckoning

Hello all
I vaguely remember when I left, BO was going to receive a rework.
Did the rework make them better or worse?
I always enjoyed the utility BO brought and didnt requiring me to play a Chosen.
Do they still offer much group utility?
Do I still need to use an add-on/plug-in (forget the name atm) to change the bars when I switch to the different stances (?).
What is BO known for nowadays other just a tank?

Lastly, does Destro need tanks or healers more?

Thank you all for answering

We did get a tank patch over a year ago, I can't remember it changing much. A few tactics here and there, we got a single-target punt, and You Wot? was returned to us in the dps tree.


I think BOs are in a pretty good place. As snb tanks, we're damn good! Really survivable with some decent utility.

2h is not so good, we give up a lot of utility and survivability. You can hit hard and it's fine for solo roaming / small scale, but above 12v12 you'll want your shield. I'd also say that 2h BO isn't really viable until you reach BiS, before that you really suck.


Plan B is likely the addon you are thinking of. Personally, I don't use it. Tried it once, it really messed with my flow, so uninstalled. If you're any good with keybinds then imo it's not required.


Destro, imo, needs tanks more than healers. But, im basing that on what warband leaders advertise for. Every single day, and every LotD, tanks are the last spots to be filled in warbands.
