Weapon Choice ?

[Dutka]

<DIV>What weapon do people prefer?</DIV> <DIV>2h spear?   1h spear?   other?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Do you find that you melle, or do much damage via melle attacks?</DIV>

<DIV>Im not doing that much melee dmg.. maybe thats because I didnt focus on getting 600 strength.</DIV> <DIV>With my HoF-Spear Im doing like 180-200 dmg auto attack every 2.5 or 3 sec.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>But usually im wearing a scepter or something for the better wis/power/manareg.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Spears look best Id say, but you might want to look after the stats mainly.</DIV>

<DIV>For group situations, use what ever has the highest wisdom/power.  I use 1hb and a shield right now; in most cases a 1h weapon and a shield or other secondary item will give you higher power than a 2h weapon.  For soloing, I use a 2hb weapon for increased damage, and I rely on wards for protection.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I sometimes melee in group situations, just for kicks or if we have low dps.  I have no idea what my dps is, but it's *low*.</DIV>

<P>If your trying to buy something looted, you don't generally have much choice, as there will always be one that is way above the other.</P> <P> </P> <P> </P> <P>If your going for hand-crafted go for a 1 handed diseased imbued rare wand of your tier (For tier 4 (Pristine Oak Disease Imbued Wand))</P> <P>and a symbol for your other hand (better stats than shield, and shields for us suck)</P> <P>I'm T4 on a pvp server, and an imbued power is a godsend when your chasing someone, as you can deal big damage from range when running.</P> <P> </P> <P> </P> <P>Make sure its disease/poison, as thats our speciality =] (Aphotics and Imprecation debuff mitigation)</P>

I found some nice spears (one handed) but they all seem to have crap stats. hence my /feedback to soe about spears and this post<a href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=19&message.id=13640" target=_blank>Post about spears in major quest lines</a><div></div>
