Prismatic Choice after revamp

[MrCAP]

Since we are SUPPOSED to be doing more dmg when tanking, should a berserker pikc the 1hander over the 2hander? Before the revamp i was going to pick the 2hander or course because of the str and awsome dmg. But now im not so sure. I mean if we tank better then where going to tank more. If we tank more then we will use a 1hander more. SO is it worth it to pick the 1 hander or no?Thanks in advance =)Zerker Bonecrusha47th n00b zerker on toxx

<P>If it is you intention to tank as often as you can then by all means choose the 1hnd, If your main job is to MA or dps then you may want to go 2hnd or duel wield. it really all depends of the dynamics of your guild and your general play style.</P> <P>One thing I will say on this subject is focus. The more often your weapon hits, the bigger effect it has on the tagets focus and hence ability to cast or use skills.</P> <P>Many believe that 2hnd swords do more damage and that may be true, but I believe after the change is in place, most will discover that duel wield weapons have many advantages. Including the ability to interupt the target more.</P> <P>A 1hnd is general purpose and hence a safe bet.</P>

<P>Let me refrase. I dident quite say it the way i wanted to. AFTER revamp, where supposed to have better tanking ability right? So that means we would be tanking more often not only in exp groups but also maybe raids. Im asking would it be smarter to chose the 1hander over the DW or 2hander in light of the upcoming changes and the increase in our tanking ability.</P> <P> </P> <P>Thanks again</P> <P>Zerker</P>

<DIV>If I was about to finish the quest, I would prob still get the 2 hander.  For normal every day group fighting/xping, you most likely will not need a shield if you have half decent gear.  (although with the mitigation/avoidence changes today, who knows)  When raid tanking, the quality of your 1 hander is not as important due to the fact that you really don't want to be attacking raid mobs often due to reposte.  The regen on prismatic is nice for that, but in a raid you would be buffed for power regen well enough usually.  Even at times where you will need to use a shield, the main role will be tanking so again, the 1 hander quality won't be as important.  Just my opinions and how I do these things, I'm sure some others would differ.</DIV>

With all the changes to in-combat power regen (both innate and buffed) I'm guessing that power regen will be an issue, especially during long fights like epic encounters.  Also, weren't the power regen capabilities of the screaming mace reduced too? If so, that's another potential source of power regen that's been lost.

Honestly, I seem to use less power on beta right now.  Bersekers just got an ability that converts damage taken to power (doesnt work atm though) so that will help.
