Have just rolled an Armsman, and cannot decide between 2H Slash, or Thrust Pole. The last time I played an Arms he was originally 2H Slash which was nice. Great damage, not to bad on end. We all got a single line respec, so I switched him to Slash Pole. The damage was insane, but so was the end use. I think I got 3 swings before my bar was empty.
I recall posting something here at the time about it, and a member mentioned that Mythic were looking at the end usage of Pole styles. Has that happened? Or is it still pretty much the same?
If I do decide to try 2H Slash again, would I still be welcome in an RvR group? Obviously I will have no defence whatsoever (Spec 50/50/28), so will be a pure damage dealer.
My other question regards Wizards. I've rolled two, an Ice and a Fire. Looking back through previous posts, most people seem to agree that although Briton is a good racial choice for RvR because of the visual similarity to a Friar, once you start casting your survival chances are virtually nil.
Now, if we accept that as a given, is there a case for rolling an Avalonian instead? I wonder if their (apparent) higher damage/faster casting speed is worthwhile having or not? A short character model doesn't look anywhere near as gangly and obvious as the normal tall Wizards you see running about, and if you're going to get spanked anyway, surely it'd be better to be able to inflict more damage in the time you have?
I'm really interested in reading current caster's opinions on this. I know some would view it entirely as a matter of personal preference, whereas others would agree/disagree with the suggestions above - just go easy on me if I've posted anything stoopid!
TIA for taking the time to reply.
