I was just wondering wich weapon gives the best overall bonus crush or slash ?

Is one better than the other ?

i know axe > swords if you dont spec 50 so lets say i spec 39 - 44 wich is better Axe or Hammer ?

provoke 0.58
plague 0.60

End usage on provoke is lower.

Who cares about end regen with end regen buffs ;o

 

[sorusi]

who cares about anytime styles, they do crap dmg compared to pos styles

prolly wont make much diff in teh long run, but as far as armour resists go, prolly safer with slash.

Provoke without question is the best taunt. It is vital that you always have end to be able to taunt as a tank - end regen buffs won't always be there or may run out at a critical time - I dont think there is another style with lower end usage than Provoke. Using it I can style all the way thru a fight with 4 consecutive mobs at Lair with no end regen buff - nuff said.

However I would say this. If you are a shield user then hammer combos really well with it - I think hammer is probably the best choice for a shield thane for example. Revenge and Thor's Answer as the block response work v well (and I find block tends to fire off more often than parry).

The 44 style for both hammer and Axe is a follow up to the back positional move and I would tend to prefer Axe here as I think Evernight > Conquer.

Ruiner and Crumble (Hammer any time style and folllow-up) IMO are pants, whereas Havoc (axe FRONT pos style) is pretty sweet.
