Been leveling a SM so far but are they viable later in SC/RvR? Another question, would be stacking str + wound build good enough like how people build BO? Anyone got any guides?

you can do dmg as 2h but you will never be as good as wl or slayer

and your not as good a tanks as ib/kotbs

this might change down the line as their plans on being class buffs and stuff in t4

so i guess the real answer is that we will have to wait and see as no one know just what all changes sm/bo will get

Out of all the 6 tanks, currently the one i have most fun with is the SM. I say go for it and level up one.

Also, they are a pretty good class for 1v1 so if you like soloing, you wont regret it. Their only problem is in top-tier fights, where order just wants to run KotBS/IB and you only fight Chosen/Bg.

kotbs is the best defensive tanks in the game and kotbs 2h is inferior to SnB kotbs because

dirty gives your grp 10% increased critical chance to hit, which when paired with encouraged aim gives your grp 20% chance to crit which is ridicilous


But IB 2h? its super legit you still have access to all your buffs and you can put out good dmg through all the dots that come with your abilities, you have grumble and mutter which paired with your already high armor makes you very survivable

if you can play the class well you can fight and kill multiple people in a row

lol no... don't lie to the OP.

BOs and SMs are probably the most fun tanks, but certainly not the best.
