I like the sword for all the bleeding skills XD Plus, I love Deadly Riposte (Block next attack, deal damage and bleeding to attacker). Turning your enemy's attack against them is really rude! Unfortunately, that skill in particular requires a few levels in tactics - not bad if you're following the tactics line, but it so happens that I'm not really :/

Swords for me. Always.

But I agree with some of the above posters: Too many Fiery Dragon Swords.

Pure metal looks so much better in my opinion...

Grigori Sokolov · Aug 23, 2005, 08:32 PM // 20:32

I love my sword for my warrior pve build, although I would like if it had more attacks for pvp. (something like cyclone axe but not elite maybe)

i prefer the axe . especially with cyclone axe , signet of judgement, sybol of wrath , zealots fire , and the offensive balthazar skill, and a healing skill youll be able to dish out huge amounts of damge a second, provided you have enough enemys on you at 1 time. but what wou said about back break , it is good for the knock down but executioners strike will do almost +30 damage. i have 11 in axe mastery and it does +28 .

jdwoody · Aug 23, 2005, 10:16 PM // 22:16

I voted for axe (my favorite).

But I dread seeing hammer's going after my characters in PvP, how can they knock you down every swing?!?

If I can find a good hammer drop I am going to try it out....until then I will have to stick with my sword.

Hemiipowered · Aug 24, 2005, 01:17 PM // 13:17

what swords/hammer/axes are everyone using?? Ive got a customized rams hammer which i use every now n then....an axe i recieved from the king...and a customized long sword... havent relli seen any sword drops at all, hopin i see a nice one soon. ive got a shadow shield with 16 or 17 armor that req. 8 strength but its worth it...and i think its called a shadow bow that has 12-33 dmg i think. anyone know about a dwarf slaying hammer found in new ascalon? stats were 19-33 dmg i believe

Stalker Haras · Aug 24, 2005, 01:22 PM // 13:22

axe ftw

Ishamael Sedai · Aug 24, 2005, 01:34 PM // 13:34

close call between axes & hammers. but don't underestimate swords. with distracting blow & savage slash you can be interrupting 2 times every 10 seconds. throw qz in the mix and the interrupts can come even faster. the extra energy based interrupt for swords is nice.

Santanus_Perro · Aug 24, 2005, 01:37 PM // 13:37

Hammer in PvP--W/Mo with Knockdowns and holy strike, bane signet, rez signet
Sword in PvE--W/Mo with sever artery, gash, galrath's slash, hundred blades, savage slash, flurry, riposte, and a stance

Sword. No, I'm no Fiery FAGon Sword user, cause those swords are ghey. Hammers are too slow and make you look retarded, and axes are good for farming, but fellblades look much better than a chaos axe, and I have never like axes. And i really dont think a build should be made around backbreaker alone, 10 adreniline for one attack is kinda a lot and the skills you brought to get that take up 4~ slots. KD/AS is cool, just too many out there to accually get some tomb time in.

Base dmg for a bow does not exceed 28 max and armor base on a shield does not exceed 16....

I would check in Yak's bend. The weapons guy may craft this hammer.

Hemiipowered · Aug 24, 2005, 02:55 PM // 14:55

ya i got the shield and bow from a friend who has completed the game...just hard for me to use because i have to pull all my skill points to one attribute rather than using 2 and 3 of them....sry im at work and couldnt check the stats directly...had to use my memory which left me years ago

hammer. knock down / interrupt / cripple / weakness / blindness.

Yukito Kunisaki · Aug 24, 2005, 04:57 PM // 16:57

I voted axe, but I"m kind of surprised as to why hammer is so unliked...

I guess it's the pve concept. Of the 3 weapons, I think hammer is worst for pve with sword right behind it.

With sooo many enemies incapable of knockdown and bleeding, Axe is the PvE king... In PvP, I'd say hammer and sword can stand toe to toe with an axe user since both capabilities for sword/hammer aren't hindered.
