<DIV>Considering you are PvP, the 2-hander may be the better choice if your opponents are fond of using Damage Shields or Reactive procs (clerics reactive heal for example).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The DW will provide more overall DPS but if they have some way of benefiting from the faster attacks, then you will be hurting yourself.  Either through taking damage from damage shields, getting hit with that reactive slow from armor, reactive damage on armor, reactive heals from priests, reactive slow from defilers, reactive stoneskin from dirges and clerics, etc...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>So the slower your attack while still maintaining your max haste, the better off you are in PvP.  If you can find a 4.0 or 8.0 delay 2-hander, even better.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Swap in DW if they have nothing that could benefit, swap in the 2-hander if they can benefit from fast hits on them.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Regards,</DIV> <DIV>Croaker</DIV>

<div></div>yeah that sounds good. also ive noticed that if I fight mages or priests... all damage shields considered. its really nice to have fast weps to interrupt thier heals and nukes.  The staff is ncie because i dont have to switch in order to use my aoe KB...The very nice thing is that this wont be a problem in a few AA points when i have some 3rd lvl strength built up <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div><p>Message Edited by Kasai259 on <span class=date_text>04-21-2006</span> <span class=time_text>08:23 PM</span>
