Hello all,

Which Pole should a HalfOrge Armsmen use and Which Damage Type pls.

So a fast one or a slow one .. and Thrust,Crush or Slash.

Solo? grp spec?

for booth pls

for grp fights i would say go hybrid spec with shield 42...and a very fast post, so you can chain-snare your targets...arms usually isn't main dps in alb-grps, so utility like slam, guard and snare are important, if they take you at all...

for solo: my arms is not a HO but i use the 5.7spd dragon pole...works very well with switching between pole and s/s...hit with pole, switch back, hit one with fast 1h, switch and repeat...no loss of defense while having very good dps, as the pole styles are pretty amazing in terms of growth-rate

4.4 pole for grp 5.7 / 5.8 pole for solo

armsman has to sacrifice damage for speed?

blackbeard still hits for 300-400 with his 99% 4.4 speed 15 dps pole and as a snare bot its all about speed.

I sincerely hope this is not true. Armsman should not hit harder than warrior, especially since warr mosty specs 50 in wep line. Of course, armsmen often do hit harder than warriors due to growth rates of their styles, but with similar growth rate, warrior should hit harder. That kind of dmg output with 4.4 speed pole is idiotic, I hope he was hitting some guy that's not temped.
