Everybody complains about the dizzy/KD combo Teras Kasi get.

Seems to me, at least for pve purposes, that combining our Area Attack 2 (which dizzies multiple targets) and Polearm Sweep 2 (which is an area KD) would be much more useful.

Does the combination work (stick), and does it have any pvp applications? Maybe Area 1 or Spin 1 (Dizzy) combined with Lunge2 (if you have it) or Sweep 1 would be just as effective as the TKA Dizzy/KD? Slower, granted, but safe effect? Or does ours stick less often, or is it too slow to be useful...?

Experience with these? ~J

Experiences: our dizzy attacks seem to stick less often than TKA or BH carbine dizzys. The dizzy+sweep combo works well in PvE once you get dizzy to stick, and against multiple NPCs it's very useful. However, it's totally worthless in PvP because the two attacks are much much too slow, once you fire off the dizzy, they are already out of range most of the time, even if it sticks, so you have to chase them down to sweep. I've never successfully gotten a good dizzy+KD combo in pvp, it's just far too slow.

I got it to work once in a duel, but the kd was lunge 2 20m range other wise the guy would have got away

Viable in pvp, i'd say no, pve yes you get more time to work in pve

plus in pvp unbuffed by the time you've fired 2 specials half your HAM is gone and the KD might not even stick...
