Which Weapon Should I Use

Post by noobert mclagg »

ATM I am a lvl 33 DA warrior/cleric but I was thinking of changing to 1h for better tanking in parties. My question is if I switch to 1h then how much damage would I loose and would I be able to kill anything in pvp. Or should I just stay DA and live with the fact that I cant tank as much for more damage and being better at pvp.

You'd mostly suck with only 1h sword skills at pvp. I'd suggest you to either get all 3 weapons with warrior or then either keep up with your char like it is, only dual axes (better at pvp than 1h), or change to two handed sword (better one if you are going to take only 1 weapon in my opinion).

Or if you don't want to take all 3 weapons just get 2h and 1h.
2h for pvp and 1h for partying.

1H cleric is the PVP equivalent of a chinese blader.

add 2handed and you're the equivalent of a blader with the ability to switch to glaive.

axes are good against euro INT chars, cuz they hit fast and decently hard but aren't that great vs. Str chars.

For me, i have em all.

IMO, get all the 2handed skills, add only daring beserker, shield crush (lvl 7 is minimum) and cunning stab. and passives.

axes, really all you need is lvl 15 axe damage passive and get lvl 7 of Sudden Twist for lvl 9 bleed at cap. It really adds a lot of stun + bleed, and bleed is deadly.

you're venus no? stick to 1hand if you don't care about low lvl pvp and farm at chasers. Get to lvl 80 and drop your masteries to 71 (with a nice 8D farming light armor set) You'll be farmed in 1~2 months for whatever you need.

I'd just like to add this to the_wicked's reply:

add 2handed and you're the equivalent of a blader with the ability to switch to glaive but way stronger.

I don't really want to get 2h, its too common and kinda boring especially if i'm going to use it only for pvp. Plus that is a buttload to farm. So I should just take 1h for now and finish farming DA later? O yea and I am on Venus :P.

I think it's good, as you really don't want to take two handed sword skills. About the cleric part, I say you should take (in addition to the ones you already chose) the absolute damage skills, the group ressurecting skills, the body blessing/deity, and the soul blessing/deity (these last 2 stay on others when you switch weapons). Well, your setup is good as it is anyways, the skills I said are more like optionals that I would take. Your going for garment right?
