power hammer

and the cleavers arnt to bad better than curved

I think people using cleavers are nuts. Unless the resources for them are just crappy on my server they suck compared to 2hcs, and power hammer. For techniques 4 or better, power hammer all the way. Before you hit the speed cap 2hcs is much better because its so much faster.

I went to the best weaponsmith on my server, looked at his best weapons, and 2hcs and powerhammer were both 50% better DPS than cleaver and other 2h weapons he had. Raw dps on a weapon is very valid unless the speed cap is an issue. The full dps can always be broken down into pure multiplication which means the blanket multipliers effect is going to effect each weapon equally. So for avg dps once 2hcs starts hitting the cap Powerhammer is king. This is not considering mitigation, but with a 50% increase in dps over the cleaver I would be surprised if that even brought the powerhammer down enough to make the cleaver better.

Ham costs? Eat tatooine sunburn. Its cheap, boost str 1700 ... no more noticable ham cost except a tiny mind hit.

im only 1211 i use the ph and 2Hc my 2hc is 1.3 speed and by power hammer is 3.3 and i have 20 points worth of skill mods in my cloths

I posted this on another thread, and yeah, it's a n00b question; but is the scythe named something other than scythe? Is that the cleaver? I'm sure you've covered this all in the past, but it's bugging me.

love my ph, with good speed. at master level in pve it rules. and it does ok in pvp against people with kinetic armor oh, and you cant get a scythe... they dont exist unless you're an npc.

well I am leveling now and i'd take the 2hcs anyday over a cleaver. mine is 1.7 spd and 60-250 damage. I'm not even a novice swordsman and the speed and damage is almost as good as my TKA tree(not master anymore 4/2/3/4 had to drop some to lvl for holocrons) I tried the cleaver and It was just to slow for me and did roughly the same damage. I just need the special attacks besides 2hhit1 and 2hheadhit1 to devestate just the same PvE. I dont care about PvP because I am holo leveling.
