Weapon spec for a zerk?

[nocte]

gonna start a zerk to inject some life into daoc for me, and was wondering what the best weapon spec to go is?

hammer: gives 2 diff damage types when used with LA
sword: looks cool, plus ragnarok for those 2h frenzied attacks.
axe: will be able to dual weild 2 sun axes which out shines swords quality of looking cool. (can bypass the fact if i die when it is night etc by scing 2 axes with same stats, minus the toa bonuses)


at the moment i am leaning towards axe. purely so i dont have to get battler/malice, if i go sword i will have to go through the pain of getting and leveling the 2.

TIA

I still really like hammer styles (provoke/ conq chain and the new parry chain are very nice) , but i'd go sword.

It gets you battler (you get a hammer version in next patch), and slash is imo a better damagetype rvrwise then crush.

rofl
u should be happy that u can use both arts
battler + malice way to go

 

[nocte]

heh true, but getting them is gonna be a pain in the arse :<

 

[anubis]

nah, not really
malice is 100% drop, battler as well
malice has been done with two people (+bot), took a while but still. actually it can be even focus pulled without carrying tockens ^^

Axe imo m8

The bloddy Battler for teh win m8s. If u dont wield battler u wont getinto my grp talk is getting silly.

Axe has the best spds malice some sweet toa drops axes to
Swords has bad spds damn nice anytimer and ragnarok and also battler
Hammer low end anytimer. behind snare rock decent spds 2x dmg types with LA(as u said) and can use battler next patch

 

[nocte]

have made 2 sc temps based on either battler/malice (sword spec) or 2 sun axes (axe spec)

Axe

Sword

i supose i will try and get battler/malice, if it prooves too hard to get them + scrolls then i can respec to axe.

thanks for all the advice :>

Why so little in quickness?

 

[nocte]

ran out of imbue points

was thinking of dropping some parry and adding some qui since it seems to be better.

 

[klavrynd]

My gimped template with battler/malice

if there are sc wizzes, don't be shy

 

[nocte]

updated mine. dropped some parry and upped qui.
