So how would WB Markovian+Shield spec differ from Warlord one? Honest question.
Markovian , who is particularly skill hungry is really not fun when you need to max both classes
Unlezz you wann blitz/cadence/charge up Consecration to make your point, that is no fun.
Otherwise WB is smooth AS, Flat dmg with beronath and Gladiator belt, phys res, a heal.
Idk how it has come to defending WB on this forum. It’s ironic
This is WB Warlord file, for quick test in real life : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1IycbTYAEE7W_t5E7Mrzs4Tvt0wbhT1Zk
Again, thanks for everything, Crate !
Forgot that Beronath converts the chaos in Solael Witchfire. But nah, it sucks based on no evidence. Seems screaming Warlord is broken is becoming a meme now.
OP!
Why don’t you go for very easy 100% block recovery and ~80% block chance? Drop that Menhir’s Will to 6, get Shield Training to 14 and use Serrated Shell or Mark of Myrmidon on the shield. That Seal of Blades on the shield doesn’t heal you. It’s not an Aegis build. Cadence doesn’t use the shield. All heals you get from that Seal of Blades come from Shattering Smash.
You’re wasting the whole Overguard potential - you might just as well drop the transmuter without good block chance and 100% recovery. 100% recovery gives you WAY more Targo’s hammers and more uptime on Stone Form. And you don’t waste your block on trash hits from auras or AoEs just to be cooked by a huge crit 0.2s later (and those crits will eat through your armor sooner all later with that da, man…)
Also, your res augments are all over the place. You’re using Aether Soul on the amulet slot on a Cadence build with not even 150% attack speed. You can get that aether res easily by more careful augment shuffling and make room for Seal of Annihilation.
And why oh why you’re not pushing fighting form to 12? Or using double mobility? Two points in Blitz give you 90 da shred and you don’t lose Cadance’s DPS with Markovian Advantage.
You could easily do better with this concept. Hope this helps.
EDIT: Sorry, I need to add this: Ugdenbog Leather on the helmet?
Sounds like a physical dmg problem then 
I’ve just uploaded Warlord file, do all mayor things of GD with this file => no need to ask !
Thanks, this will be actually useful and will save me quite a bit of time.
WB is a good class. My point was - can it do all the thing Warlord does using same/similiar gear. So should I just slap on same gear except medal maybe?
I have tested Witchblades. Without a shield they are pretty glassy. For dual-wielding both Death Knights and Warlords are much tankier and have similiar or better damage. So there is evidence. Veretragna for example stated the same few times: WB are the glassiest soldiers when it comes to non-shield specs.
Some good suggestions. I didn’t notice the 16 menhir will. Possibly max shattering smash instead of break morale?
Considering the amount of kiting using doomforce for AoE + dot, might be QoL to apply as much rr as possible with war cry and not shattering smash
Given that we are talking about shield specs, your argument is completely moot, So yes, you still have no evidence of Witchblade doing worse than Warlord. And seriously, using dual wield as evidence that Witchblade shield Warborn is not tanky. And where even is the evidence that dual wield Warborn/Death Knight is more tanky than Witchblade? A single person claiming to be so doesn’t make it true.
I am done with this argument anyway, don’t bother replying.
I tested before FG DW Witchblade and DK with basically same items.WB has a little bit higher sheet dps,but was slower in average time and was way glassier.I doubt the situation changed.
And Gear. Especially if your farming your own gear you have to work with what you got and sometimes that means adjusting the build to suit what you have to work with.
Same thing with approaching doing similar builds on other Classes. Oath Keeper has a fine tool set you just have to match up the synergies from other classes when building around a different Class.
Nice Build BTW. I finally hit 100 Last night and im 1 piece away from full Warborn Set. I actually have the full set but i have to refarm the chest since its only level 75. 
Im also playing my build with EOR focus. But the more i play it and the more gear i keep finding the more im thinking im either going to have to go DW with EOR or drop EOR and spec more into something like this. Maybe Retaliation and Bleed/Trauma Focused a bit more but yeah im starting to think EOR would do better either DW or with a different Class like OK+Inquisitor or OK+Shaman. But again i need to allocate more gear so i can actually test whats gonna work best for myself.
DW Death Knight is so obviously tankier than DW WB. You don’t have to be a builder to put this two plus two together. Passive RR (so less casts and more attacks), Reaping Strike (basically a full heal every proc) and Mark of Torment make Death Knight much more consistent then WB. And in DW spec attack speed that WB has over DK is almost offset with Warborn/Barbaros procs.
It’s also classy to talk some oblivious bullshit and storm out of the argument, wp.
So after 8 tries I couldn’t do it with your build.
Here is the video. I feel like build is capable of doing it and it’s probably me clicking the wrong buttons or hitting bad timings but last few times I was trying to be laser focused on the buff pannel in order not to miss anything and I still couldn’t succeed.
But I think build can do it with better “piloting”. and I think build couldn’t definitely use some polishing. Going to test Witchblade now.
Just out of curiosity, what is the largest amount damage dealt to this spec?
Killed Cala with save provided, removed Cadence and maxed out RF. Had to kite her at 30% Hp. She has some kind of enrage below 50% hp.
It’s CRATE game, you can’t expect an easy fight (specially Superboss)
It took me > 50 tries to find out the Meta against Calla thing. And for “Celestial + SR + Cru” thing , I cant rememer how many tries
What can I say ? Try again !
(1) Menhir’s Will (16sec Skill Recharge + 10sec Duration) => What does it mean to you ? In reality , not theorycrafting thing !!!
(2) Ghoulish Hunger (30s + 5s) => ???
(3) Overguard (12.5 + 10) => ???
(4) Stoneform (12 + 8 + 15% chance on block) => ???
(5) Healing portion (5-6s cd) => ???
(6) Incorporeal Winds (16% fumble , 3s) => use it more often, even when you’re at 50% HP
It depends, to Mobs : ~150K , sometimes to 190K, to Calla : <100K , to Rav : > 100K
If it took you more than 50 tries, than you can’t say that your build can facetank celestials.
It’s straight up false advertisement…
EDIT: And I mean what’s the most damage an enemy has ever done to YOU. Not the other way around. The value should be listed at the bottom of your sheet 3 data.
