I have the level 40 legendary poleblade and it has two sockets. Im not sure what shards i should put on it. Half the people tell me damage and the the other half say accuracy.

Any insight?

    More information is needed to give a better suggestion on what is a viable option for your character build.

    For my build i like accuracy. But may be changing to attack soon. What is your build? Are you missing a lot? Do you need to do more damage? Have you looked at % increase per shard...say you have 500 accuracy and imbue a average shard of accuracy adding +50 that's a 10% increase....two shards give you a whopping 20% increase.....and then compare to attack...and so forth and so on...and do you have the money to invest into at least average shards or better??

    DEX Build -> Physical Attack.
    VIT Build -> Accuracy.
    PvE -> Physical Attack.

    You have an STR build.

    Which is...just for PvE. Even then, VIT build is better.

    Stop adding STR until level 51, add just DEX and you will be a DEX build then.

    Yeah.

    At level 51 you add your last 5 points into DEX.

    Past that you will be following the next build:

    Even Levels: 3 STR | 2 DEX
    Odd Levels: 2 STR | 2 DEX | 1 Free point (can be VIT or DEX)

    Kind of.

    Both, DEX and VIT builds work good at PvE.

    DEX Deals more damage while VIT has more survavility...so it depends on what suits you more.

    damage shards do not effect yoru damage that much at all as the g12stones give +75 and the g13attack stones give +100phy damage that calcutated out does not add that much damage go with the accuracy or hp stones in a weapon it is much better that way
