My main playstyle is NB Sap Tank. I like to feel like a Dark Knight all heavy armour using Dark Magic. Every update since DB I have been noticing my sucess in PvP with my perfered playstyle becoming less and less viable. I really don't feel like I get to play the way I want and will be forced to go stam with three proc sets or play my Sorc both of which would perform better in PvP but be less enhoyable for me because it's not the way I want to play. Any advice is there any counter to players running three proc sets?

    An initial buffer of HP+resists that allows you to survive the first proc burst is a must. Beyond that, it varies from class to class.

    Maybe your build just doesn't work anymore, procs or not.
    I have changed build countless times over the past 2 years, because they stopped being good due to balance changes.

    Sap tank in pvp was never an effective playstyle. You pc players crack me up.

    100% was effective. With the changes to siphoning strikes it pretty much killed it this patch, though.

    That's just false. Pre-1.6, a good sap tank could fight 1v10+ and kill every one of them. I remember Blobs doing it all the time. Sap Sap Sap Clouding Swarm Sap Sap Sap Clouding Swarm Sap Sap Sap Clouding Swarm. It is you console babies who have no idea what you are talking about.

    On my nightblade I run health regen, troll king/beekeeper/pirate or viper. Then reverb sword and board away their healing with debuff. For an extra cancer moment pop werewolf and keep healing debuff up, and just light attack to death.
