uffff cant decide, hth give low wpn skill and no good anytime skills, 2h axe is crappy styles and 2h hammer sucks vs alb chain and hib scale.

those numbers were taken from a friends 50 "hammer" savage on pendragon.. 39+11 hammer gives ~100-150 weapon skill more than 50+11 h2h savage.

you`ll find that if you specced 50 axe/hammer/sword on a savage the weapon skill would be the same as a zerk with the same skill and str.. before you say a savage cant have the same str as a zerk.. mines 300.. anything more does nothing.

so, can a 2h savage be compared to a zerk in dmg output in endgame? (l50 rvr rr5).

Lots of useful tips here. will see how i spec my Savage though!

 

[ricky_latino]

the idea behind using 2h weps is that you get greater advantage of the haste buff that savages have

and.

300... I thught that was a soft cap on str, as in 350 is the hard cap beond 300 you get dimising returns?...! correct me anyone?

 

[old.Emma]

300 is the hard cap for str/dex and 250 is the hard cap for qui.. beyond that you get nothing.. only con over 300 gives you anything.. again the increase is small but afaik you get more hp for every 5 con points..

as far as specs go..

im currently testing hammer/h2h spec on prydwen.

with the same skill level and stats for both hammer/h2h my weapon skill is ~11% lower when using h2h weapons instead of hammer.

I plan on respeccing to 39 hammer/h2h 35 savagery when and if we get any respec stones on prydwen.. if not i`ll continue to level my 2nd savage.

as for the 2h savage.

Very viable. high dmg, fast swing times.. the dmg is consistant and great for rvr battles.. h2h will out dmg 2h over time.. but then most rvr fights dont last long. kinda like the same with zerks that have no qui on there SC items. massive upfront dmg yet poor dmg overtime when compaired to the same zerk with +75 qui on there SC items.
