    2H and S&S take the gold brother, sorry.

    The bow turret is strong silver or bronze but by no means the best weapon ulti.

    Shhh! Everyone still thinks the 2H ultimate is the most OP ;-)

    Yep, its a channel. So, it will be stronger that is if you put more points in Thaumaturge.

    The different ultimates are good in different situations. There is no 'strongest' ultimate.

    I think the 1h+s is more OP than bow. With the right set up, you can potentially spam that ability considering its low cost and what it opens up for you with free abilities and blocking is just nasty.

    It's easily dodged if you get LoS or dodge roll, blocking reduces it a lot too. I recognize this works better for Stam builds since you have more max Stam but I do agree that it's a bit over the top. On my test character, I got the toxic barrage tooltip over a total(Intial Channel then extra Poison DoT) of 80K and this could hit way harder. Probably even over 100k.

    I don't know about spamming. Can you spam DBoS every 6 seconds on live? It's the same cost.

    Also, it is not blocking, despite of what the tooltip says and how the effect looks. It is just the damage reduction of blocking, but it lacks the CC immunity of real blocking. It also disables real blocking for the duration, making you unable to block incoming CC.

    Hey you know what would be nice? Some actual testing and data to back up your claims rather than a completely unfounded statement.

    You may well be correct, but you have provided no evidence to back up your claims. And before you tell me to go do my own testing to figure it out myself: No, because I am not the one making the claim. You are.

    You can do that every 6 secs on a sap tank with max ultimate generation builds.

    Nah this is totally doable. The real question is why someone would want to. Building solely for DBoS opens up a lot of vulnerabilities in the build. At least, that's my reasoning for doing something else. I'm sure there are plenty of people out there that have had their fair share of fun with this setup.
