axes=ownage, need i say more?

tbh it's your personal preference m8

Yichi · Dec 14, 2005, 09:51 AM // 09:51

depending on the build, each has their advanages and disadvantages. its all about personal preference.

Makkert · Dec 14, 2005, 10:14 AM // 10:14

vote axe.
I agree with Yichi that in PvE it is all about preferences.
But my preference would be axe then

Barry Bethell · Dec 14, 2005, 10:19 AM // 10:19

btw you can bleed most things in fow apart from the skeles of course

deathbane grip/pommel for shadow guys

hammer ftw

It doesn't matter which, neither one does much damage. Be a good warrior and bring some stances to help the monks out. Bring a good curses necro and a good mesmer along to do the real damage. "L33t echo nukers" need not apply.

1. Hammers
2. Axes
3. Swords

hammer -> intterupting knockdown

axe -> spike damage

sword -> tanking

choose youre build!

AxeMe · Dec 14, 2005, 01:20 PM // 13:20

With an IGN like mine - Just Axe Me - how could it be anything but -- Axe.

Seriously I agree with earlier poster who said sword for tanking and axe for interrupt (along with a little greater damage than sword in my opinion ... but that part is debatable).

Hammer are pure ownage all the time, can get good spikes with hammers to ..
