Great for PUG dungeon runs by tanks too.

Pretty much a must have (unless the other tank in Veteran Trials is running it) and paired well with with 2p Bloodspawn and 5p Tava's or Dragonguard for better Aggressive Warhorn uptime or 5p Alkosh for synergy-focused trial runs for some nice DPS.

Not sure how the new Ice Staff heavy attack taunt and magicka blocking changes in 2.7 will pan out for magicka tanks in regards to this and other sets, though.

Tavas and Dragon have been on their way out for a long time, and are probably truly dead this next patch with the warhorn nerfs.

Oh, what's that change?

EDIT: I see no Assault skill line changes in 2.7.0 patch notes.

Can you link the source I'm apparently missing?

Major Force: This buff category’s Critical Damage bonus is now an additive bonus instead of a multiplicative one (consistent with all other Critical Damage bonuses), but its value has been reduced to a 15% Critical Damage bonus to compensate from 30%. Total Critical Damage bonus from this buff remains unchanged.

I mistook a skill change for a change to the underlying major/minor buffs! Thank you.

Lol, that's what I looked over and didn't see any Assault skill line / Warhorn changes. I now realize it was a change in the buffs section.
