<DIV>I right now have a Feyiron imbued long sword with the Guard of grimm sheild. do you think i should keep that or get a 2h weapon that is imbued? im finding that power is important but then ill get hit all the time:smileysad:</DIV>

Get ahold of a feysteel cluster and have a morning star made.  Keep the Guard of Grumm, its a pretty good shield from what I recall.  I have a variety of two handers, but I rarely find myself using them.  My fabled hammer and t6 legendary imbued shield give far more benefit than any non-fabled two hander I've seen and probably quite a few of the fabled 2 handers as well.What we need is a modifier when using 2 handed weapons like we had in EQ1.<div></div>

I use a 2H almost exclusively when i solo, unless i'm fighting Named heroics, and even then i sometimes do. When tanking, I use 1H/Shield predominately, but if the group has 2 healers, i often switch to 2H because they can keep me up just fine, so i might as well raise my hate generation so that the other DPS can go even harder.  My fabled T5 1H and my cobalt imbued T6 1H don't even come close to the damage of my cobalt greatspear, and if the healers can keep me up just fine, there's really no downside.</span><div></div>

I hear you Mith, I try to keep myself going as much as I can so my raid's healers can focus on the big guy.  For me the stats from my hardened mettalic hammer and imbued ironwood kite shield blow away my imbued ironwood pike.  When I do go to a 2h I tend to use my cobalt halberd or ironwood pike but notice a drop in my overall stats, health and power as well as a huge drop in my avoidance (especially if I go into offensive stance).  In a group there might be one healer, and I might be the main tank.  I always, always, ALWAYS use a shield and hammer when tanking in a group.  Since I have amends up on the highest DPS class to hold aggro I know I'm gonna get smacked around.  I like the extra avoidance from the shield plus a second feedback.  Those 167 damage procs from both legs and shield add up.And for a lower level player who may not have legendary, much less fabled, I still recommend the shield and one handed route.  But again, play styles are personal and I haven't played a lower level crusader class since the combat revamp to know how well the lower level stances work.I want my Warmarshall's Bladed Staff from EQ1 (hello, new heritage quest anyone) and y 2h damage bonus please.<div></div>
