Heavy attack and health recovery builds have been pretty nerfed for PvP specifically, but there are some heavy attack sets.

Also, you can slot Flare for passive Major Protection now.

Templar jabbies sounds solid, but melee is riskier. Sweeps has been nerfed enough that I stopped seeing this, but it still works.

Could also try petsorc zoo build. Slap on a tanky set (Mara's Balm/Aetherial Ascension?) and Mad Tinkerer. I think a 7-year-old would get a big kick out of watching the little dinosaur knock people into the air like bowling pins lol. Plus they heal teammates when healing themselves with Matriarch.

I thought the game was 18+ and/or rated M.

BGs can have a very toxic vibe

oaken 1 bar would work, but not for heavy attack dmg, as empower (and coming with necrom, some of the HA sets) will not work on players

if they were a templar, a 1 bar beamplar type build could probably work, the other way that would be easy is a warden because they are already inherently tanky

Thta´s a cool question. Max efficiency with 2 buttons.
1 defensiv
1 offensiv

1 defensiv has to be a fail safe get out of jail free card, like streak or mistform
1 offensiv has to be something with range and good effects. Repeatable meteor would be cool

I think you have to teach the 3rd button for the heal

That would leave templar with drak flare and sorc with frags.
Setup probably Maras for autoheal (even with it being nerfed) and an autobuff like Night Mother´s Gaze?
add in one piese of trainee and Oakenoul and you´re good to go. Don´t forget 3x swift.

"Pet attack sorcerer maybe, and try for some kill stealing with Mage's Wrath/Endless Fury."

This

Fury/wrath, force pulse, matriarch, crystal weapon, elusive mist, overload

Oakensoul + kvatch gladiator + spinners (if pen is desired / draugrkin (if pressure is desired) / mara's balm or hist sap (if defense is desired) / wretched vitality (if more sustain is desired)

If you need more specifics than that, tag me

At first you may tell your 7 years old what teabag means. Because if I see heavy attack builds in bg I always give that reward for them. And I think I am not the only one.

@raasdal
My 7yo plays BGs with me and he loves playing his Oakensoul 1 Bar DK. We gave him Mara's Balm 5 piece, 2 pc Bloodspawn monster set, and 1 piece trainee, 1 piece druid's braid. For a weapon we let him pick what weapon he wanted from the 4 man arenas (because the 4 man arenas were another activity he liked doing with us). The Master's staff worked pretty well giving him an offensive boost, and the sword n board made him almost invincible if people got close enough for pierce armor. This setup gave him some flexibility in playstyle and we could put skills on his par to buff passively the skills he could reach easier on his keys that he could get to. The main skills we tried to get him to get used to in BGs was hitting Resolving vigor every so often, and being ready with his offensive skill that accompanied his weapon, and of course coagulating blood for a burst heal. We tried to get him to use Corrosive Armor, but he is 7 and couldn't resist the leap LOL. Hee also fell in love with the flame whip, and fiery breath animations so it got him interested in using those skills. That was the biggest thing to get him to do more, was finding things HE thought looked cool doing, and he wanted to do them to other players and shout "Dad, did you see that!?" I haven't played post Necrom and not sure if I am going to any time soon I hear Hist Sap might be a better play now for such situations YMMV.

Charming.

Perhaps you should reconsider what you've told this person to explain to a child.

Teabagging is not something to brag about, even when you believe the recipient is an adult.

It’s just one of the ways to say that we have a very big playerbase that think that heavyattack builds should not exist.

DK with Engine Guardian, running Undeath.

Your kid will destroy all non-DKs! 😁
