Yea, I played some of S5 but it's not worth making content over. When we get actual content and the player population gets back to a healthy number I'll start pumping videos out again.

It can but it isn't optimal as Shirking Heals is a PVP only perk. I use the Azoth Crystal set for PVE as it has enchanted ward + Refreshing: nwdb.info/db/item/heavychest_azothcrystal

@@SavanRPG you are awesome bro keep it up

Haven't played much since S5 started but the build remains the same.

Glad to hear! I'll show it on my next video hopefully by this weekend :)

Yes, I'll update at some point. Played a few games during S5 launch but it was very buggy.

Yes, anything with sturdy fortification + accelerated resolve. Get sure footing when you can afford it.

Bugs with VG/FS, VG (Lifetaker) is ignoring resistances and FS is doing more damage than it should. Also seems to be a change in stagger or grit frames. Too many factors at the moment I wouldn't make any hard conclusions until everything is smoothed out probably give it a week before things iron out.

@@SavanRPG Ok thanks for your answer. Keep up the good work, I love your videos and now I'm playing tank thanks to you!

@@Hakaguro Glad to hear it brother ⚔🛡

A few of my videos have the stamina nerf in them. It's not optimal, more stamina is better but I am managing. I played a few games and the new combat code definitely changes the game up. It does not help there are so many bugs right now. I will make a video when everything irons out as there are too many factors at the moment.

@@SavanRPG I changed setup a bit and I'm doing damn nice now, still able to pump up dmg with emp. leaping strike on sword and hammer. massive rend (shockwave+clearout+a.breaker) also tanking in 1vx is good with sure footing(sword)+sturdy ( shield). I would recommend you to get shirking energy on chest it works wonderfully with 250 str perk (33% s.regen). Anyways looking forward for your next vid. Cheers

@@BillyPitonNS Glad to hear brother, all set ups I've ran before. Sturdy and Sturdy Energy on chest are great options. Sure footing is not great on sword. You are trading damage for movement when you can put it on shield. Leaping strike is hit or miss as you lose the leaping strike empower if your opponent rolls away or uses a gap close to escape. Overall not terrible options just not optimal in my opinion. But I will cover all this in the next video, thanks for running the build ⚔🛡

@@SavanRPG I was already thinking about all aspects u mentioned here, the deal is I am using sns to heal up, survive and escape situations when you get swarmed by the enemies. Here sturdy + sure footing comes really handy, without sturdy on shield stamina goes down faster and if u get exhausted its over in 1vx. Now perks on the sword like thwarting strikes and attunement rly doesn't give that much cause s has low base damage and att. has 1.5 s cd so u can count on it only your 1st hit of the combo(~150 dmg), ts is ok thats 7% on each hit not much but its constant. Mainly my dmg comes from the hammer and don't forget whenever u hit a skill enemies gets exhaustion while you recharge your stamina fast (basic attack33%+ s.energy on chest 42%), when enemy is low stamina or exhausted its time for h attack(30% emp.+ leaping strike) in those 3sec you can surprisingly make lots of damage. As a H tanker I have to accept that I wont be able to kill every enemy always because we got some mobility but can't compare to lights (not to mention muskets,bows), main goal for me is staying up and running, holding points and killing off careless lights and those who accept melee fight with me. Waiting to see next video and your opinion on these aspects. 💪

@@BillyPitonNS Well said, that's the beauty of SnS/WH tanking there's lots of different styles and options. As you know the Omni Tank is the best of both worlds one where SnS is damage through consistency and WH is damage through CC combo. I don't like using SnS just to stall but that's what makes my build different from most tanks. If it works for you I say stay on it and refine it video coming out this week still collecting footage. In Heavy We Trust brother.

Yes, give me a few days to gather some data and decide how we will move forward against the meta.

Thanks brother, glad to see you on heavy sns/wh again ⚔🛡

@@SavanRPG I gave it a try watching your videos, and I’m liking it honestly! Don’t know what direction I’m going to go for this season

Not ideal but probably pretty negligible. Knowing what we know about AGS it's best to find out by getting our hands on when the patch goes live.

@@SavanRPG Played a lot yesterday and I have been using your build for a while now. I have not noticed the -15% being that big a deal. The combat though feels very wonky/laggy, sorry that's the best way I can explain it. Let me know what you think. Also, I think they did something with the leaping strike stagger. I used to be able to stop a burnout mid zoom with it, but last night that seemed to not be the case :(

@@Darkness77 my man appreciate the rundown. I've learned it's best to give new patches a day to work themselves out. I'll be on today or tomorrow to check things out. Unfortunate to hear about the leaping strike stagger, lots of potential bugs/breaks with the new combat code and patch.

@@SavanRPG Tell me if you see it. It will stop them if they haven't started moving yet, but if they are in zoom mode, does no stagger.

@@Darkness77 Haven't noticed it yet but also haven't tested that scenario specifically. I do know there's a lot of things going on right now to make any conclusions. Between Lifetaker/FS damage bugs and there seems to be a stagger or grit frame change that's locking a lot of people up mainly melee. I'll play some more and draw formal conclusions when everything has ironed out. Let me know if you see anything on your end that affects the build.

TRUTH! Been playing some sort of "tank" pvp from the beginning myself. Never switched from it other than trying out the other popular builds from Knight and Atlas. Landed on this one a few months ago and never looked back. Not switching to the "meta" or what's popular and sticking to the same thing for months/years, makes you better at your craft. I am sure Savan will get the hate messages as I do when playing this build. It is typically from people that just cannot easily beat you in whatever scenario they are in. I typically tell them "I have been beating plenty of times by others, just not you!" Savan as always, much love coming from Mandos on Lilith!

@@Darkness77 Well said brother, love to see you reppin the Omni Tank on Lilith ⚔🛡

Play enough games and you'll run into all skill gaps. That being said, solo, duo 5 mans, everyone can get it!

🤣😉

My man, I appreciate you!

We try and keep a positive vibe in Mando on Lilith Marauders! We are hoping this season will bring the community back. I am truly missing some of the enemies that are on my friends list that have not logged in for sometime now.

<3 o7

Thanks brother, you as well!

@@SavanRPG 🫡

Glad to hear it brother, stay tuned as we will be back in action when season 5 hits.

Check in the description ;)

@@SavanRPG Corrected tnx bddy 👍👍 I'll try it asap

5 Onyx, 3 Opal in this video but gems are subject to change with the meta.

Glad you are enjoying it fellow tank!

Yes hearty is still very good as more stamina = returning stamina quicker but if you value more damage there is a world where you can choose invig punishment over hearty since we don't get a a triple dodge either way.

Teamwork makes the dreamwork.

Hold the door! ⚔🛡

My man 💪

Hey brother, I swap between the two. AB for more rend and armor pen vs heavy bros and shields. WB for more aoe cc. The change in the tree is simple just take the 3 points from AB and put them into WB, everything else stays the same.

@@SavanRPG Okay thanks appreciate the response!

Anytime brother!@@Darkness77

No SF. SH - Invig - Grit Ward. I have an alternate set I use for OPR. I will make a video on the update stay tuned brother.

Yessir!

My man this is fantastic haha!

@@SavanRPG like I said man I enjoy your videos!

Appreciate you, I'll be rolling out more content as S5 approaches stay tuned!@@crazacoongaming5203

@@SavanRPG Same, I have no doubt about it I’ll definitely be on the lookout!

My man, thanks brother!

Yup both you and your allies.

@@SavanRPG what are your thoughts on having leaping strike on the sword vs not having it

Good option if you can't afford to craft the BIS sword we have for our build. It can easily replace refreshing move. My only issue with it is the damage boost is marginal, it is reliant on leaping strike cooldown and only lasts 3s. This damage boost can easily be dodged, whereas refreshing move procs on any auto attack and decreases our cooldowns allowing for more abilities which = more damage potential.@@clashwithcutty7175

great point @@SavanRPG

you changing anything in season five?@@SavanRPG

Thanks brother, you highlighted it perfectly. In heavy we trust!

Yes, will update before next season on the future of the build.

🤣man was desperate.

Through the fire and the flames we will make the build work - In heavy we trust!

⚔🛡

😆Stick around brother, we'll get you levelled up ⚔🛡

Appreciate that more to come next season 🫡

Same for me, but your 1vX’s make me laugh for real. It’s such great content
