HI^^ I cant figure that attack rate :S It seems like the Pole is faster than the Axhr. But the attack rate of Pole is 1.00 and Axhr 0.83

    The attack rate is how many times you attack per second. An attack rate of 1 is once per second. If its lower, its faster because you are attacking faster than once per second.

    Now that I can't answer, as I am just a lowly cleric b:surrender

    But I think its just a personal preference or best you can get at the time kind of thing.
    I see some BMs using fists, some with swords, some with axes.

    Actually lower number means you're attacking slower b:laugh
    If attack rate if 1/sec then it's usuall but if 0.63/sec that means you barely do over half attack in sec that's why Fists have 1.43/sec attack which means they do almost 1.5 attacks in second b:chuckle
    If it was like previously said then explain me how Bow attack can be x3 times faster then barehands?!?b:shockedb:surrender
    Look for highest number per sec not lowest

    Like someone said...it's a personal preferance. Axe/hammer BMs are known for their tanking ability, and get a whole assortment of AOEs (good for grinding, or so I hear). I've always been told that poles are the hybrid between the Axe/Hammer path and the Sword/Blade path, with additional range that none of the other paths have.

    AoE= Area Of Effect ( in our case means all surrounding mobs within weapons range unless skill says otherwise)
    Grinding= monotone VERY boring procedure usually killing 1 perticular type of mob for long time ( unfortunatelly the higher you go the more you'll know and feel it b:sad)
    b:bye
