Thread: Pvp sweep 1 or sweep 2 ?
Sweep 2 has a big delay at the end of it, so I tend to steer clear of it...
Depends, also, on the number of enemies you're fighting. If you're just fighting one, there's no sense in using an AoE attack and suffering the delay that comes with Sweep2, when Sweep 1 or Lunge 2 get the same job done.
Well, look. Pikeman isn't really the greatest solo spec for dueling (though if you know yer stuff and have the loot, it's pretty decent for the state effects). If you're fighting one person, use Lunge2 if you have master brawler, or use sweep 1. If you're fighting in a group against another group (like I always do) use sweep2, then tidy up the rest who resisted the kd with sweep1. Another thing I've noticed is that people are way more susceptible to KD when they are intimidated (though I can't back this up with any proof, I think it does modify the kd resist roll).
