    Which weapon is better for pvp? Is it worth giving up stuns and going spear for the range and bleeds?

      Use dual axes for the best aoe's, but as for the best pvp wep, I'm not sure if that's it.

      Well, lets put it like this.

      Axes are mainly for AoE Grinding and TW. They stun others like hell and can cause headaches for many (it happened to me xD).
      Poleblades are range attackers and PvP class. they can use many range skills and can give magic users a run for their money.

      Id take axes at the start, purely for the speed grinding and level. Once your at about 86, you should have your axe skills maxed out. Then i'd switch to Poleblades.

      I'm an axe, and I absolutely LOVE my AoE skills, but honestly, for PvP a Pole Dex build is freaking sexy as hell. Also, invest some spirit into FIST if you're going polearm. That's one sweet PvP build.

      axes are the best for pvp, not only the stuns, if u go dex-axe build u will hardly miss on archers, insane for pvp and good aoe's

      spears are a pve wepn, spears require much less dex to hold than axes and go vit build, ur the 2nd best tanker to a barb, tho the added range helps ALOT in pvp in situations where ppl run away, but..the skills suck...

      The one problem with Axe builds is that you need so much STR your dex isn't really going to be all that high even if you cap your Vit at 50, and while it's great when you're 8x+, being a 7x dex axe build isn't all that fun.

      I wish I wouldn't have restatted as early as I did. I was doing about 5/3/2 SVD until I restatted at 70, and it was a pretty nice balance.

      A Dex build is gonna cost you a lot more, cause you really need to Citrine shard your gears to make up for what you're giving up.

      im 52.. my DEX is 100, vit is 19 (24 with eq), my hp is 2100ish, crit 7%, accuracy 1000, evasion 1100ish... yeah its a bit more costlier when it comes to eq, and tho axes arent the best dps wepn, they are the best at spike damage, exaclty what u need to kill same levels with charms equipped.

      and having so much hp isnt gonna count much if ur goal is to pk, either way you will have a cleric in pt for aoe grind, vit build or not.
