the issue is the root from vg is easier to land. I agree on the chase potential but the leap and the shield bash got a longer wind up animation like VG root so they are easier to dodge thats m y only issue and why I think its superior in terms of pvp. Especially playing against a mage with medium armor they have no issue dodging stuff from SnS
False.
Reverse stab does more damage since you can guarantee a light attack after. Also u get extra cooldown reduction in there.
Also build is able to one shot up to 150con (light & medium). Resilience pieces make a huge difference due to most my hits being backstab crits.
You cannot dodge out of it. After the Leaping Strike hits the combo is guaranteed.
Eh, after getting caught by this a couple times, little more difficult to catch me (squishy fire and ice) with a stun. Being a ninja and coming up from behind, is about the only way to catch me with this anymore.
I’m still not sold about it doing more dmg than full-charged wh heavy, the point about cooldown reduction is nice but it’ll be getting nerfed since AGS is making the cooldown reduction not apply to reverse stab itself, not to mention if I don’t take reverse stab I get to have shield rush for extra cc or defiant stance for extra tankiness. Overall I guess it’s just a playstyle choice.
Hmm I also run sword + wh, but from my experience medium or light with 150-200 con running physical slant armor (shadewalkers/orichalcum heavy) can definitely survive the combo.
Lol do you even know how this game works?
Man I see these videos and im just like what? What game are you guys playing? What server are you on? are you fighting bots?
On my server you could never shield bash > hammer stun anybody. Everybody would dodge that slow ass animation. In one part you shield bash…dodge…swap…then stun with hammer…These are just bad pvpers on my server they would of already been half way across the screen.
Well reverse stab is 170% + 100% from light attack vs Hammer hammer heavy 170% & extra 30% from talent if they are under 30% but if they are they are dead from reverse stab than as well. (also i can’t reliably do a full charged one most of the time as light armor stun is only 2 seconds) & people can have freedom which makes it last even less.
But yeah definetly playstyle choice. As a 3rd ability any other SnS ability can probably work. I played defiant stance for a while just prefer reverse stab myself now.
That Leaping strike is the key. Once you got that down, the rest are just cc after cc.
I do agree leaping strike is one of the most easiest skill to dodge so I mean it is a noob killer at most.
Still it can succeed over more experienced people but like mentioned above I do not see this kind of thing anymore on our server since a long time ago. It is like showing your back to a Feral Rush Hachet, no experienced player will do that.
Playing against scrubs and bragging how good your build is is like driving a car and bragging about the horse power because you just passed a bicycle. Also half of your build is Warhammer CCs - which if your’e not brain dead you can combo with literally anything in this game to kill people.
This is pure gold! Every great player gets that. People can’t fathom they suck at a game.
It’s misleading to call it one shot but it’s a cool combo put together.

As a true S&S tank, I love your video and would love to learn how to play like that. But it’s not easy to dodge like you do, change weapons quickly like you do, etc…
Would love to see your build…

Nice.
Too bad they’ll nerf it next patch. Because that’s what AGS does.
This is literally every single PVP meta I have ever played in. Prevent damage-- usually with CC-- and then unload burst.
Or catching you immediately coming out of a dodge.
Except when he’s using the hammer, you’re already stunned?
Meta chasers are not good players and never have been lmao. I could care less what the meta is. Good players don’t chase cheese tactics, they embrace the challenge of leveled builds
Not bragging just making fun ‘‘meme build’’ pvp content. Also its very effective vs mages/muskets which my server is filled with. Worked on this build for almost 2 months now so figured why not share. Seems very viable in OPR and really fun to play so why not? Hopefully its fun to watch as well.
