Axe + pole combo.

Thats exactly wat im planning on buildin as..
To me seems like a very good combo..
AoE and Stun of Axe and Range of pole..
Pole seems like a good 1 v 1 weapon aswell tbh as the range helps with runners or mage's for jump all over them place

Fists wud i agree but the required dex for them wudnt leave you with alot of Vit or Str if hes raising str for pole too..

I cud b wrong tho.. i dont know required stats perfectly =/

axes=stun lock,aoe
poles=range,ability to stack bleed which **** casters
blades=strictly 1vs1
fists=**** to melee

axes beat poles,poles beat fists,blades beat axes,fists beats every weapon cept poles unless you can stop em from kiting you

BUT fists get kited hella easy so if you decide to make that a secondary wep you better be fast on your toes (maxed cloud sprint ftw)

I would go either axe or sword, and most likely axe if I were you, as the requisite stat difference is small. Fists you'd have to start pouring on the dex.

Here is my opinion on the weapons.

Axe= Best for AoE & TW

Sword= Best 1 vs 1 weapon hands down imo, highest single target damage output (skill damage modifiers are greatest). It has an extra ranged attack to get runners. Also nice as a secondary tanking weapon.

Pole= A bit of both worlds. Has AoE, high damage with stacked bleeds, and best ranged attack of the weapons. It's kind of like the Jack'o'All'Trades for our Jack'o'All'Trades class. Best used to fight runners. Let bleed keep DD'ing them as they're running away and smack them with your ranged skills when you can.

Fists= Amazing DPS but way too easy to kite. They deal insane damage while your opponent is stunned, soon as they get out of it they will hop back and recover. These are the best tanking weapon. High DPS keeps aggro. They have channel interrupting skills which stop boss's AoE (and also increase aggro). They gain chi the fastest with their amazing speed and can continuously spark for extra damage (Even more aggro) or if necessary they can use that chi to heal with goldenbell.

Use Fist ,

because,

1.Fist can save you using a lot of MP pots b:victory

2. Spark Eruption + Demon Glacial Spike + normal fist = 100% crit b:dirty

Fixed it for ya.

Im Building 6 str 3 dex 1 vit every 2 lvls.. might start adding more vit at later lvls but hopin to just manage my HP thro my armor ect..

I Plan on usin Axe and Pole and Possibly sword.. what you think of this build ?

if you have the dex for it or dont mind restating some of your vit into it fists are wonderfull for 1v1 dmg or single target grinding also since the only skills from the tree that u need to max are cycone heel and the mastery (of course) its quite cheap sp wise

if you pick up fisting do just grab an annialator of souls from ah the mana regen ability + the fact that you can kill dirty quick without skills means a serious reduction in pot cost and as many have said before me with - interval gear there isnt much in this perfect word that outdoes a hell sparked fist in sheer dmg (if you see this happen just run like hell and never stop 9 times out of 10 will of bolshi will be on havent done it myself but have seen charmed barbs with vit builds go down to this)

sword skills are similar enough to spears that going that way wouldent give you much versitility but rather focus your build. but that said i love myriad sword stance a little to much easily the best ultimate for sheer damage (dragons are realy just there for the amp glacial is a comprimise between the 2 with ok damage and a usefull ability fist ultimate...only realy usefull on heavy veno's but 2x or 3x spark does the job betterb:cry)

you can already aoe with poles (abeit not as well as an axe) but if you want to go that way enjoy. i personaly recomend picking up all weapons eventually simply cause figuring out all the different combos and such you can do is fun fun fun.

hope i've manage to translate some of the things said to plain eglish/elaborate on things said/possibly give you some fun ideas

(fist is my main weapon so i may be a touch biasedb:chuckle)
