Title: GM Weapon - What to choose?
Post by: Katuf on December 23, 2006, 01:35:58 AM
I'm farming HK for the GM weapons but i dont know what to choose. I'd like the swords, cus i heard that good swords are better then daggers in the long run. But the daggers is nice for mutilate. Or shall i choose something different like the fists? Pls give me your opinion :)

you cant really farm HK, after killing the same person 2 times, their value decreases, and afaik after 5 kills on the same person, they aint worth no more honour

regarding weapons, if you have points in combat spec and the weapon spec. base it on that, if you wanna be the sneaky type and ambush and all that get daggers, if you want the crit but sneaky doesnt add to you get fists

had fist weapons myself once, theres nothing worse then other weapons...

not for warrior, due to rogue normalised swing times swords are better.

what do you mean, that weapon speed doesnt count for rogues?


was aiming for fist weap on my rogue due to the 5% crit talent (dont really like daggers)

weapons speed doesnt matter for MH specials. they are normalized. so max dmg is all you look for now. and the normalized speed for swords is slower then fists, so swords should do a tad more dmg. Daggers are diff since they "unlock" specials like ambush, backstab and mutilate.

You forgot the coolness factor of fist weapons though, they count for an extra 1000 damage per hit. :narnar:

Yes, you're right Vargen, it's nice for the 'standing around in IF set' :roflmao: . Which is where some people spend most of their time ....

If you had a dagger MH and a Sword Offhand would mutilate work? or would it only attack with MH dagger?

you need 2 daggers for mutilate to work :)

and maces/swords/fists all use 2.4 as their normalised attack speed, so apart from any weapon specialisation differences, theres not a lot in it. 5% extra crit from fist spec is imo nicer than 5% chance to proc an extra attack with swords, if pvp is your thing.

daggers are better in every situation if your willing to work for it.

I'll just stick to my Longsword.
Personally i don't think it really mathers wich type you choose, as long as you know how to play with it.

So daggers aren't better ;)

Im very happy with my mutilate spec. I pwn in PVP and i do decent dmg in PVE. Its maybe not the best but imo its the most fun to play :)
