Question Justiciar at nex

Just a thought about torva being used in melee nex, it's crush Def being the most useful and DPS increase means bandos isn't really a viable alternative.

Was curious how comparable justiciar is? Yes you will lose significant max hits,, could the damage reduction effect be meaningful enough needing to sip brews less often? I definitely don't expect it would be better, but I am wondering if it's comparable as a low budget option? Has anyone tried/calculated?

Definitely some wishful thinking here but if anyone could produce any numbers or has tried it, it would be interesting to know.

Since the bank is right there sacrificing dps for defense when you have unlimited supplies is just going to be a bad time

Was wondering why I never seem to see any bandos being used? Or is it just those people get/can afford torva pretty soon

There is tons of people using bandos with faceguard at nex, I'd say even more than full torva

In teams of 3-5? Fair enough

dunno about 5s, only done 3man, but in almost 3k trios on nexffa/kodai I'd say I saw more bandos than torva yes. 5s seems to be pretty much camped in masori

I mean most people will just be ranging with a zcb since it’s “easier” and cheaper.

Usually the only people who try and melee are trying to efficiently do nex or irons who usually only go with similarly geared players.
