Do you agree / disagree?

Yup i do agree They got low armor hence GL is a good choice against em.
Since the resist nerf altho i find my self hitting even for 450-500 on heavy armored debuff target with ED

Just curious, how much str?

I'm sitting around 650-660 atm with mixing sets and ED is doing similar - sometimes crits up to 700 or so and i've had one lucky crit for 840 or so that stood out.

It will sound weird to say this (and probably is a poor reflection on WHs) but playing my SM feels like playing a WH (in terms of dps) now. IMO the tradeoff in a truckload more survivability for a small-medium amount less damage is so nice i rarely touch my WH anymore.

Ah my stre is still shit, sitting around 480. Atm SM is where it's meant to be imo, an heavy armored Dps with less cc than a normal tank, if they ignore us we tear em apart if they focus on us we are somewhat softer than most tanks in game.
Still WHs got finish off moves (Sever Nerve comes to mind) that we don't have tho and the heal debuff bullets (which can't be and i don't want to be on a tank cause it would be oped) helps in killing everything (moreso healers). I'm still curious to see how much of > dps would we bring to a WH with WoH up

Sever Nerve is a morale That is true we lack a "Bang" finisher. I'm probably going to be playing in a premade with a guildie WH at some point (we have quite a few of them) i'll ask him to combat log and e-mail me it one run with WoH spam vs no WoH spam and get back to you.

On a maths basis it should be worth about 20-30% or so i think if they're below the soft cap, less if above it.

Any advice on leveling spec after 1.2?

Was thinking of going the standard Hoeth way, with EB/EA spam, but are there any other viable builds I should be considering?

Level atm?

[Cirventhor]

Only 10 atm, but the levels will go by quickly.

Up to 22 i'd go this way: Swordmaster Career Builder - Warhammer Online
then 22 to 31: Swordmaster Career Builder - Warhammer Online

Then it's up to you the build you like to go 40 Khaine/Hoeth for 2h atm and Vaul/Hoeth for 1h + Shield imo.
