Thread: What attack method
sweep, then actionhit, your bleed will do more dammage if you hit them with it when prone.
The one problem with this method is your pike will normally hit for health, so i tend not to even use the bleed unless I'm fighting big game, as I usually kill things by health before the action bleed catches up. Leghit is ok, but sucks up a lot of ham.
I would sugest, stun (2 if you have it), sweep, hit 2, then normal hits till you heal up a bit, then hit 2 again.
If you're going after big stuff, stun, sweep, actionhit, then kitte. For some reason a lot of critters when stuned move at a slow speed, especially grauls, so as long as you can stay away from them they will bleed out, then leg hit them when they are low. Just remember to circle the camp when you run because if you get too far away it will reset and critters following you will vanish.
Don't forget to warcry as often as you can, especially after a sweep - they will stay down for the duration of warcry. Also, intimidate them early in the fight, that reduces their damage output by 50%.
