Problem with pierce is you don't get a proper anytime style.. just a chain of 4 (!) moves of which only the last two are nice.

BM = support/mage-killer.

all mages have have neutral to all armour and all support-chars cept friars(and pallys if you count them :p) have thrustvunreble armour. so Piercing > all imo :)

Shouldn't be using anytime styles for anything other than to back up your positionals...

Just use pierce taunt to back up then switch to 4 part anytime if opponent insists on facing you t.t

As for 1.62 parently hurricane still sucks ass but ice storm will be quite good damage, with the only downside being the presence of the ghetto 4s stun >,<

Don't use the 4s stun if there is a LW/shield tank about, use it on someone after your casters, then move to the rear for PF and rear moves.

Reactionaries/positionals are great fun to use, after playing my VW for so long and having basically no anytime style I've gotten over whining about no anytime style ;)

The third style in the black widow chain is an attack spd debuff, it's quite handy but if you have lost a bard you run out of end faily quickly using it and there is one or two in the CD line anyway and those are a little more end friendly...

meh gimp spec..

Well my spec atm is..

50 blunt
42 shield
29 cd
26 parry

Wanted slam so i could help my supporters.. kinda sad when all u can do (wihtout slam) is to watch and c them get killed.

And all i lost is 5% less change parry.. and bout 7.5% change hitting with LH wich imo makes slam worth it.

and with 29 CD i got Ice Storm -> Tempest.. Tempest is the one they make ubah in 1.62 with teh bleed for 20 dmg (or sumthing).

Blunt has the nice after parry combo.. and nice styles after Block thats why i use blunt.. would use Pierce if i were a Celt BM with no shield spec.. stun after evade and +dmg on mid & alb healers.

So if u dont gonna spec Shield.. spec Pierce its teh pwn etc

Been pierce/shield, thing that changed everything for me was prevent flight, it's aggro for rvr ;)

I specced out of shield because, however effective I found it to be I was bored and wanted to kill stuff again, never saw much of my own death spam with it, pf is one of those ra's a lot of people don't know you have though, so you have to sort of inform people over and over what to do when you are behind any tank on them ;)


Only difference in the spec widow has and I had is I opted for 16 CD to get more in parry, think widows spec is better post 1.62.
