Right so I'm planning to take up my arms ( no pun intended ) against the evil realms of hib and mid but I got a few direction problems when it comes to:
Template
Spec
Weaponchoice
Alot of things have changed since I last played this arms and even though the template is still solid when it comes to resists and stats, I have a feel it might not be 'modern' enough to compete vs the top notch players/multiple little zerglings.
The template well to me it all depends on what weapons I choice to use and build it around that.
I have always sought to include WH, SoM in my melee templates since well they mitigate alot of damage regardless if the enemy is using lws or physicals.
My old spec was 50 2h, 42 shield, 34 weapon, 23 parry pritty standard cookiecutter I think.
I was pondering a full 2h template but not sure it will be the most effective, having access to a 9 s slam when every other class with a shield ( thats not a heavy ) only have 5s slam could be very advantagous.
Now to the most important thing, wich everything rests on, the weapons.
Pole vs 2h
The reason why I went 2h over pole for my solo session was due to weapon procs, I found that all poles basically sucked tits when it came to procs.
- Dragon pole with -40 af debuff is wack
- ML10 pole have a nice proc but it is random as hell and it rests on nothing but luck, one can land the debuff 1st hit and then never hit the right armor piece making it completly useless
- I tried LWs and found them to be bad aswell did alot less dmg compared to physical weapons on almost everyone, where I hit for 500 with physicals I would hit for 365-390 with LWs for some strange reason
The weapons I use on arms atm is the old dragon 2her with -20 abs and when I land that I switch to the CL 2her and hope to land the -10% resis debuff, and I cycle those back n forth for maximum dmg.
Now the 1st thing I was hoping to do on the arms as far as the template was to change out my dragon BP vs a sidi bp to gain some style dmg % and health procs, but then people started to talk about ML10 temps and how uber they are (every half moon ) so not sure what to do now
Give some of your ideas and whatnot!
