Two hand....or one hand/shield?:P

[ebenezer]

Ok...after posting that temp im tempted to get it. On other hand playing on US and seeing how it became after the shield love im not too sure i would be happy playing twohanded^^
So...any opinions on this?

2h is more fun, s/s is a sure way to victory but boring

 

[ebenezer]

thats how i always saw it as well. But i wonder if twhohander now is a sure way of loosing...or if i catually have a chance anymore against shield users?

[aika]

dont know about shield user, but from inf PoV fighting 2h tanks is much easier than s/s ones

 

[ebenezer]

ok^^

 

[Adlatus Hellbringer]

Well u know what i think eb... Playing my p/s champ is a lot of fun. Lots of nice reactionarys (brutalize, the pierce block chain etc etc) and ofc the high defence makes for fun 1 on 1 fights that last. I would give it a go... afaik raven went blunt/shield for a while and owned with it solo.

 

[Punishment]

50 large wep 42 shield 35 parry rest blunt

Highest utility hybrid spec imo , you get 3 move reactionary off block+slam+with like +5 parry and moparry2/3 prettymuch capped parry

 

[Raven]

shield/blunt for the boring easy win, LW for a slightly more challenging fight

ok...will search for a more shield oriented temp then and see what i will aim for.
Thanx.)

i am 50 lw 42 shield now...but 39 parry i think.
I like that for playing lw mostly, but if i do go shield i prolly spec 50 in that or so. or at least 45.

if 2h is much easier to kill than S/S... i'd really like to try go S/S on champ then..

Typical jump on a s/s tank:
1)PA - "woo 390 dmg!"
2)CD - blocked
3) You get slammed - You purge
4)block block block block, "woo offhand hit!", block block block
5)At this time you dump dotmine
6) You notice that the only dmg you do to him is with dotmine
7) You notice that you're already on 10% hp while he is still at 90%
8) You die, cursing 1.87

Maybe im just a shit playa but stealthers still rape me... yes i last lots longer but they still get me in the end.... Unless its a shit stealther whos either low rr or who doesnt have a clue.

 

[ebenezer]

when im on my uber warrior on US which is similar rr to my hero here, it dpends on what stealther i meet if 1h or 2 h is best against them. Some works really well to just plow down with shield. But some run through and strafe so much so i never get a hit in anyhow. Then i usually pick out two hander and do same thing and that usually works quite well on some ocasions
