Hi

I'm a Brawler on Starsider and am specializing in 2H Swords (Heavy Axe). Attack speed is ungodly slow. I also miss a lot. I'm up to Advanced 2H Sword and still miss a bunch. Can I use a Sword weapon or is there a 2H weapon that is a bit faster? I searched all over the Galaxy Markets and can't find any faster Heavy Axes than the one I have (5.5 speed).

Just wanted to know if there's another weapon I can use or if I'm doing something wrong.

Thx

Well,

Yes heavy axe is slow and it's kind of the absolute worst weapon for 2 handed, but it's the only one available. Until a crafter gains enough skill to make a new weapon for you or you get lucky enough to get one from a humanoid mob drop you'll just have to wait like everyone else.

This is one of the reasons I wanted to wait to start playing the game... to let the economy develop so I wouldn't start into a world full of noob weapons.

I am also trying to level up my two handed sword skills so I can be a swordsman. I'm searching for a sword too. If you wanna join up and search together and adventure together let me know! PM me or reply in here. I can't egt on starsider now for some reason though it just says connecting to galaxy and it sits... maybe in a little bit I'll have better luck.

Yeah, 2H sword is a pain. However, since melee weapon crafting will probably lag behind ranged crafting we might be waiting a bit for an upgrade. Check the bazaar for high quality weapons of all types, and try working something out with that crafter. As with most things, we'll just have to wait a bit for the crafters to catch up to where we're at. But I can't wait till I get rid of this **edit** axe!

The missing issue is a bug. Right now melee to hit is actually lower than the to hit of a gun user in melee range. I hope this gets fixed soon.

Be happy you can equip a "heavy axe"! (We couldn't for a long time in beta)

I'm sure our fair artisans and weaponsmiths will be itching to create whatever we'll buy as soon as they get the skill. Encourage those you know, tell them about the weapons you'll be looking for, ask them if there's anything you can keep an eye out for.

My feeling is that actually 2HS and polearm are hitting more often and for a lot more than they did in beta. I'm having quite a bit of fun with them. =) Make sure you use the skills you've got (warcry, intimidate, berserk) and try to hunt with someone throwing traps (dizzy, blind, stun, melee defense down) - it will greatly decrease the mobs melee ability, increase your melee ability and make it much more fun. =)

2-h curved sword is great, but needs a weaponsmith with Tier III melee crafting I think (and good experimentation of course).

I don't see the melee damage being reduced...I'm working on Master 2H Sword and hit mobs for 150-500+....of course anything over 200 is a special attack, but still thats a helluva amount of damage in one hit.

The prob is that I can't do special moves every time or I'm dead. Missing and slowness of attacks are also both a pain....
