Hi,
in the current state of the tanks, the knight tank is by far outplaying every other tank.
Don't get me wrong, I like the fact/idea, that the Knight class itself should be the best tank, because it is a pure tank class in general.
But in the current state of "Threaten" and "Traces of the Cross Sword", the gap is really huge. Therefor I still suggest a second Orkham plate glove with a Threaten effect. (maybe only 75% of the strength?).
Furthermore I suggest for the Champ/Knight:
Change skill ID 1490549 that it will change "Rune Overload" to cost mana instead of rage per second and add a stamina multiplier on the dmg of 0.5 - 1.

Hi,
Once again to Lutine's suggestion.
First of all, like Lutine, I think the idea is that the knight is a pure tank and that he is at the “top”.
At the moment it looks like no matter which champion combination you have as a tank, as long as you are not equipped in the high end, you hardly have a chance as a tank. The aggro buildup is just way too slow.
There are several different ways to adjust this.
Lutine's idea is good in itself, but all in all it won't change the current situation much. So I have several suggestions.
My suggestions would be:
ID: 498572 (rune overload) gets a stamina multiplier of about 0.5
ID: 498533 (rune energy supply) gets a higher aggro value (knights in base form have much more than a champion)
ID: 1491756 (hammer blow) gets a smaller cooldown when the skill ID: 498562 (shield form) is reduced by maybe 5 seconds.
ID: 498529 (Runic Pulse) should get a slightly higher aggro rating as it is pretty useless.
ID: 498521 (Heavy Strike) should perhaps get an aggro multiplier
ID: 498531 (Fearless Strike) should perhaps not do more damage when the skill ID: 498562 (Shield Form) is active with 30% remaining HP but generally increase aggro.
These are just a few suggestions on how to make the champion a little more playable as a tank. He should at least be playable enough to be useful with the gear of the appropriate ini.
I hope my ideas are well received and you can soon play better as a champion tank again.
MfG
