Both specs are good.

Both are good. Variance seems less in LW but maybe thats my imagination

I really would like to avoid hotswapping, which is why iam considering hero over BM since BM seems to require shield hotswapping to reach good dps in order to land side styles

I suggest you don't pick Hibernia if you don't want to swap weapons. You WILL need to use the level 6 behind snare from spear. And LW is the best choice out of the 2. But if you don't care to min max then why not just play a valewalker?

Or, I could just go full spear and not use LW.

I appreciate the input, really. I do feel the min max attitude sometimes gets the better of people though.

Telling me to play another realm is an example of that.

It was a suggestion based on the information you gave me. By all means stick with spear if that's what you want. But why ask why LW is better if you already decided what to do?

I went LW on my hero, not for any reason but because I prefer using LW than spear, seems faster and better off.. but then again I haven't tried spear..

This patch is all about snaring enemy tanks. Mid especially.
DET doesnt work on melee snares=OP
CS snare is vital, and with low CS you will never hit a savage basically

Ive seen armsmen taking out our whole melee train in max 10 seconds

Good points!

If you want to go for raw dmg go for lw. If you want Tools and Flexibility go for spear. If you want to Min max go for 50 lw 36 spear

VW also have a pretty damn high weaponskill for a hybrid, it's on its own table.

But all of this is to compensate some other issues I believe, maybe they don't get 2H damage bonus, or something else. As a Valewalker with 50 in Scythe I actually had a lower DPS than the Blademaster with whom I used to play (unless I landed Blizzard).

Plain and simple... they want to Spin again.... Those spin styles alone are a reason to go LW. When they changed the style animation on live it really killed what made LW the stuff.

Wait, they removed the spin on live? What was the reason for that? It's one of the best animation.

spear animations > LW Spin animations

Well, if animations are a factor, then CS is the only way to go - backflip evade > all.

IVe had people tell me BM being the ''superior'' choice unless you want to guard casters as hero.

With BM having higher dps and charge, I suppose I Can see the point to it... ?

charge is useless here.

and bm is only better if you are willing to hotswap weapons
