Signalling a return to 2hander specs? Will hate to see my buckler go by way side.. I got used to it.
With all these changes to us and every other class, specifically hate transfers, its going to be interesting how this pans out.
I will most definately be dropping my 448str..448agi..448sta I have now in favor of Agility and Int.

meh, i was pissed at first but the more i look at it, the change isnt so major esp considering i can use 4-1 int with my brimstone now.

alaya · 06-13-2007, 04:00 AM

its from 76% down to 60% double attack, reasonable change imho, i'll stay buckler anyway

/edit get your dirge to spec stamina and you'll get an additional 16% double attack from fortissimo

Epitaphe · 06-13-2007, 04:17 AM

i dont concider losing the block from buckler any reasonable at all.

alaya · 06-13-2007, 04:33 AM

well yea the block change isn't that nice, but lets see how it works out when it hits life, you can instead get AoBs pick now if you fear for your life

since it could possibly be changed to a 1 hander with LU 37 it might be the best tanking weapon in the game =]

alaya · 06-13-2007, 05:55 AM

on test it is currently a 1h, so if they really go with dw to 1h with gu37 (which i am pretty sure they do), it should look like listed here

Skel · 06-13-2007, 07:11 AM

im pretty sure i would use that for avatars/contested mayong over my brim... its got a really nice spread for the 3 sec delay as well

Skel · 06-13-2007, 07:18 AM

also on that note, im wondering if the pick axe and brimstone hammer (dw) would be the best DPS setup along with the agi/str/int lines. With that setup they basicly turn us into(imo) stronger swashes with nearly the same amount of hurricane, 17% double attack base, massive crits and accel strike.... HRMMM!!!

EDIT: Oh and if we really wanted, the mayong bracers for 22% double attack... man thats sounding sexy already
