Shields and Two handers

[Sabre]

Bottom line is you have NO CLUE how it'll be until you get to test it out ingame, so stop trying to prove a point that is unproveable? Kthxbai.

And quit with the name calling, if it's a debate why are you getting upset?

[Aggelos]

Most stupid argument ever xD

Sabre, you told something like "I'll use a 2handed for more DPS", he told that not necessarily a 2handed will do more DPS. And now you both are saying we need to wait and see and we all agree. So your discussion is pointless.

End.

[Sabre]

Yes, if you go back and read you'll see we're talking about other builds than a Shield/Sword combo, in which case it's common sense that a more offensive build such as Dual Wielding or a 2-Hander will outdamage a 1-Hander and a defensive item such as a Shield. Hence why I said I'd use it for farming/fun.

When I say his argument is pointless because no one can back it, it's in response to his discussion on the highest DPS build

[Aggelos]

Well, he's right. Not necessarily a 2 hander will do more DPS. It's not common sense as some games have proved otherwise. We have to wait and see the game mechanics.

Yaaaaaaaaaaay!

I want to use a 2-hander in each hand like Cloud in AV! (This argument is moot and should stop. Seriously, it can't go any further without resorting to meaningless bickering.)

"Resorting to meaningless bickering"? That ship sailed long ago, my friend.

[Sabre]

I'm a Daeva. I have wings. I can catch up.

[crimlo]

if u wanna use a 2hander ur playing the wrong class templar is tank class

[Sabre]

We're not talking about it as a main weapon, but as an alternative build for other situations where tanking isn't necessary

[dalavita]

I'm gonna dual wield bows, it's not my main weapon but it's flashy as hell and my DPS will skyrocket BOOYAH!

Not more than mine, silly orc! I r teh ranger here!

About Templar - his Long Sword mastery is rly confusing. It doesnt sound like classic L2 tank. If it gona work correctly - two-hander may be good idea if we stick to PVE ofc. And if in particular moment u need shield just for stun/confus, not for protection - u may switch between 2 sets. And coz Templar dont have masteries for bow (or dual) - long sword will be better.

So Sabre may be right. Guts also

After all: +1 to Aggelos.

Can we all just be friends here templar to templar... now then thats over with, i think it would be pretty impossible for templar knights who do sword play and trickery skills to fight, and then use two giants swords which i really cant imagine holding sword either as big or bigger than my body. I can picture a gladiator but knight a templar knight.
