So the general idea of this build is to be annoyingly in someone's face as much as possible, while still offering a good amount of tankiness. You won't be pooping out crits, but you will be able to stick to someone and keep smacking them in the head.

The name of the game is offtank :)

In terms of gear, full plate is what I recommend, but some might suggest getting the 4 plate set bonus, and then finish off with 3 pieces of leather. This gives you a nice blend of damage and tankiness, get the 4 set leather if you wanna do more damage, but I wouldn't suggest it, as I believe this build thrives off of it's tanky-deeps blend.

For you weapons it is gonna get a bit tricky, to maximize on your kit you need to step up to the plate.

You are going to want to hotkey your shield and an offhand weapon.
When using your battlerage abilities you are going to want to use two 1 handers
However when you use your Defense abilities, you will need a shield equipped.


Lets begin:

So you are running around, just doing your thing... Suddenly!! A wild enemy appears, you both de-summon your mount and prepare for battle. The Reaper [ Sorc, Shadow, Occ ] (we know this because we hover over his hp bar and see the spec that he is currently wielding)

After you size him up, get a rough idea of what he is all about. Get into the mind of the enemy, what school did he go to, what size socks does he wear, does he even know, at the end of the day.... what do we all really know...the battle begins (pretty much just check his spec and go balls deep)

Truth be told the rest is up to you, this build is built around versatility and being able to counter play. You need to get a feel of when you need to go tank mode, or all up in your face bitch-slapping mode. Don't expect to be blowing people up like a Mage or a Darkrunner (rito pls nerf), but at the same time they won't be blowing you up either, you have the tank to sustain, and the damage to kill, you just need to feel it out and play it as it is needed.

Reason for Spec Choices:

, - pretty standard, consistent damage and combo nicely together.

, - GET OVER HERE!!!

, , , , - Pfft bitch please, you call that CC?

- Damage breh, do you even?

, - Look I'm over here, oh nope, here now, oh you tried to run away??

, , , - Combos really nice, especially against them pesky mages!!

, , , - If you could at least try and do some damage to me Mr Hunter, that would be great, I am kinda bored taking NO damage from you.

-> - Once you max out your 3k mettle stacks, this really does a tonne of damage and it is really quick to get off. Catches people off guard as well (basically you can do a 4.1k damage smite) :)

Really nice combo = ->->->->->-> = Stun->Trip/spell silence ->slow->trip->snare->trip (all with really nice dmg)

- Okay I am going to level with you on this one, it is by far the best ability in the game, and not just for pvp. In pvp it is pretty alright, can be nice and disruptive and really awesome to single some noobs out so you and your mates can wreck them, also really nice to force a 1v1 breh!!... But the best part is out of pvp.. When you are just running around, doing your thing, sometimes it is fun to Troll people a bit, and what better way to do that than to just trap them in a small arena for 20sec and start a dance off (Don't attempt to do this, unless you know how to dance with style, none of this push dance and go afk bs, you have to use the Arrow keys to spice things up, get some nice dance combos out to dazzle your victim)


Hope you like the build, let me know what you think in the comments below. Preferably tell me what you think is bad about the build, so that I can learn where to improve :)
