    I'm uploading a video of some Knight's Challenge PvP when I was wearing 3/4th of the set. So when you watch it, imagine me critting WAY more often. It should be up in about 10 minutes.

    what's your new build? does it work better than the one you've already posted, or is it just for testing right now? i would hate if i had to respec :/ (level 54 atm)

    The latest changes I made to my build were included in a update towards the bottom of my first post. I really need to polish up the guide and post new screenshots but I've been lazy.

    We may approach boss fights differently but I can speak for Pirate, Spider, Frozen in particular that I never take damage. Spellplague I tank adds so it would always be up then. Those are the only T2s I farm.

    Yeah, our strats are just different. :)

    Can you tell us what is the most effective race to play? and what ability scores you rolled in the beginning and what you feel is the best stats to roll for your DPS GF?

    So Timeless Hero BIS (best in slot)...but what about shield, 1H, necklace, rings, etc?

    Also all enchants Teneb for offensive (what about plague fire)...what about defensive?

    offense = azure (now testing tenebrous)
    defense = radiant
    utility = dark
    weapon = greater plague
    armor = soulforged

    offense will change soon when i finish my t2 set

    Was as of three days ago, but I believe he has his T2 set now so that has likely changed.

    Hey supjeremiah,

    first I want to thank you for your awesome job. I am starting to skill after your guide but i am little bit confused. For Example should I skill Griffon's Wrath?

    Would you be so kind to reskill your abilities just in textform for us...how would be the optimal allocation of your power-/feat- and skillpoints.

    Currently my build would be like this:

    Powers

    3/3 Cleave
    3/3 Tide of Iron
    3/3 Lunging Strike
    3/3 Villain's Menace
    3/3 Shield Talent
    3/3 Enforced Threat
    0/3 Griffon's Wrath
    3/3 Fighter's Recovery
    3/3 Terrifying Impact
    0/3 Knee Breaker
    3/3 Enhanced Mark
    3/3 Guarded Assault
    3/3 Knight's Challenge (Optional)
    3/3 Combat Superiority
    3/3 Frontline Surge
    3/3 Ferocious Reaction
    0/3 Anvil of Doom
    3/3 Threatening Rush
    3/3 Into the Fray
    0/3 Supremacy of Steel
    3/3 Bull Charge
    0/3 Iron Warrior
    0/3 Knight's Valor
    3/3 Indomitable Strength

    Feats

    3/3 Strength Focus
    3/3 Toughness
    3/3 Armor Specialization
    3/3 Shielded Resurgence
    3/3 Armor Specialization
    5/5 Powerful Attack
    3/3 Grit (human bonus feats)
    3/3 Weapon Mastery


    Paragon

    Conqueror

    5/5 Take Measure
    5/5 Wrathful Warrior
    5/5 Cruel Cut Style (Do you still use Cleave when you have Threatening Rush?)
    5/5 Tactical Superiority
    5/5 Menacing Impact (Optional)
    1/1 Reckless Attacker

    Tactician

    5/5 Fight On



    Greetings,

    Greetings,
    Leuwart

    You don't *need* to take Griffon's Wrath, but why not? After you get the essentials you have quite a few points left unspent. I have a few skills I never use maxed out as a "just in case."

    For example, your 3/3 in Shield Talent is largely wasted in this spec because not only do you not have room to slot that passive, you wouldn't benefit much from it since a key success of this build is.. well, not blocking.

    ok <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> about PvP unbalance blah blah going around I wanted to ask your opinion on rogues, now i'm not talking about the **** players that are evidently crud and easy to beat (whom are probably using some inefficient build) i'm talking about the players that use this build that gives them super damage absorption and damage dealing. I always avoid their initial attack and their cc attacks but it's like they can face tank everything i throw at them. I thought they were squishy? Is it all down to the timing of their 4 sec immunity because it seems beyond that. Plus even if i kit around constant knockback using BR,FS, and encounters they just spam with their ranged attacks which hurts like hell. How do you deal with hardcore rogues, (i'm pre 60 undergeared) does it change at 60 when geared up? how do you deal with them? You mentioned somewhere don't block if don't have to (only on their big attacks) but it seems their default attack is stronger than our default att in damage to our GF.

    That's why you carry two sets. Bulwark and Timeless.

    As a Rogue start off with your ranged knife attack while stealthed. We'll more than likely block it and lose our guard meter. Then smokescreen and have a field day.

    Oh I misread I suppose. TR's are really easy. If you don't 2 shot them, use fighter's recovery and face tank them.

    Is it just me or does the tier 2 Armor sets like Timeless and Stalwart only require level 60 on chest and another slot, the gloves,boots and helm all require 36 iirc up to 52.

    Is there any actual full level 60 sets out there or is the High General one a mix of levels also?.

    Stalwart is T1 and has lower level requirements. Timeless is T2 and requires level 60 for all pieces.

    I prefer the AP below 50% because it's a crazy good life saver.

    rogues are really easy pre-60. I don't know how it is at 60 because I am only lvl 56 doing pvp leveling.

    Try not to let rogues open on you, blockit if you can. Eat the smoke screen.

    lunging strike -> bull charge (there's no delay between those 2 skills or very little) -> threaten rush -> auto swing twice -> frontline surge -> threaten rush -> swing 2-3 times -> if you have indomitable strength up, use it -> lunging strike -> auto swing 2-3 times.

    Block, kite him, repeat. Dead rogue.

    hey supj, for new lvl 60 what would you recommand for starting set?timeless is just way to expensive for now and when you are in mostly underlvl green gear, well you cant farm for it lol.pvp would be the easiest to get but it seem pretty bad..no crit,no recovery,almost no power...on the broker there is some epic set that seem decent and are pretty cheap and would like to know if it worth buying them and wich one?should i just save my AD and go with pvp set and start doing dungeon with it after?

    Aha what about Castle Never does that drop tier 3 sets? what would the bonuses be on those. Or would Tier 3 single items out weigh the crazy set bonuses of Timeless.

    I don't see why not. They gave them a damage tree for a reason. Obviously the tank class is usually thought of as low damage, high defense. But I've played several MMOs where the tank built tank class becomes obsolete as the meta evolves and has to respec to damage.

    I'm really wondering why it is that the Guardian glory gear is set up so defensively while the PvE gear has so much power... I was really hoping I wouldn't have to PvE for gear to PvP in.


    Also, just figured I'd ask here... I seem to be getting this bug with Threatening Rush where it continually stops about a 5th of the way through the animation and then tries to start again, just spams itself over and over but never actually brings me to the target... that happen to any of you? It doesn't do it all the time, but I have lost quite a few kills because of it, rather annoying.

    did you tested the knight captain set dps wise ? 60% more attack power looks really high to me .. even if the pieces arent giving much power you can still focus on power on jewellery.
