<p>Am I the only one that gets an insatiable urge to wield a massive 2h weapon and swing a few times and have it be done with?</p><p> I know Brawler line has 2h staff attacks, but i wanna use a big axe, sword, pole arm and be in massive armor.  Honestly, i just wanna be as physically imposing as possible.  I wanna do rediculiously high crits</p><p>Afraid to make a warrior, i feel like his defense will be too low without a shield, and i know buckler is DPS option #1, and if not most seem to use tower.  Are their any viable 2h wielding warriors out their? i find it tempting to atleast try a berserker.  Str/int/Agi seem the best, but what order should i do to achieve the most damage?  My roommate just made a warden so i will atleast have a healer to roll with.</p><p> Would crusaders work at all?</p><p>Is anything of this nature whatsoever reasonable on a PVP server?</p><p> Thanks for any input</p>

If you want to use a two handed weapon in PvP you either need to be an Inquisitor/Templar or possibly a Mystic. Inquisitors are better for it because of their battle cleric line. Crusaders <i>do </i>use two handers a lot of the time but not having the shield bash in PvP isn't a good idea, especially since you're probably going to be getting hit by rangers who'll drop you extremely fast if you can't block.

SK two hand not a viable option?

<p>SK two hand can definately work.  From a pvp perspective you could choose one of the races that get racial stuns...ogre, troll, barbarian if the stun is the thing holding you up.</p><p>There aren't a lot of good slow two handers in the game up through EoF (but a few).  I think two handers are getting slower for RoK and that makes them a viable option for increasing dps.  Shadowknights especially need slow weaopns so they lose less attacks while spell casting, but slower weaopns also get better benefits from melee crits.</p>
