What have you found to be some effective combos while using a 2H weapon?

I usually start out using just 2H Hit1.

If I happen to hit their mind, then I switch to the 2H MindHit1.

If it's a very powerful creature, I use berzerk and then just use the default attack, since that's all it lets you do.

I don't use intimidate or warcry, but I'm thinking that I should.

Can anyone recomend any useful combos?

Start out with intimidate, it will lower their melee damage to you, Its a nice effect. other then that. its up to you.

spin attack and 2h hit, best 2h swords moves made

well i have a heavy axe that does 40-160 damage 5.4 so non special move attack ranges from 97-280

2 hand hit does 300-900

But my weapon uses 70 health points when i use a special (that is the stat on the weapon) When i do a 2 hand hit it seems to take over 100 health...

So my best combo is Mabari armor and no special attacks... using this is can kill about 6 or 7 white con mobs before needing a stimpac...

Will be testing out some Two hand axes tonight

I use different combos depending on the situation. That's one of the reasons i really like the 2H swordsman because he's versitile.

If i am fighting creatures i can one hit and they have a lair. I go straight to their lair and start doing the AoE attack (can't remeber the name lol). This is the fasted way by far to take out a lair. Start swing on the lair, you draw agro they pull to you and you swing again, and they are dead. Not to mention they make a nice ring around you for easy harvesting.

If I have someone with me who is ranged and not a rifleman, i usually use the sweep, decent dmg, and I get atttacked about half as much as i did before using non-posture-lowering-attacks. (I am a wookie with really high recharge rates on my pools so this might work better for me because it really prolongs the battles). Sweep also seems to really work well against humanoids.It just seems that if I don't miss on it they will vary rarely get a hit in on me.

If i have rifleman support, i tell them to spam head shot's and I do the same with 2H headhitsand that works really well. I also have rifle specialist so sometimes i pull with head shots and then finish with 2H head hits.

The lunge, andsweep is really good for pulling agro off of a marksman. They are usually running around or something stupid like that yelling help. So if you hit them with a posture down attack and they keep running it leaves the monster for you to deal with.

Also if i'm in a large group and I don't have agro on me, bezerk and get that thing killed as fast as possible, or if it's looks like it's gonna kill the person it's agro'n sweep the heck out of the thing.

Ok, sorry those are a bit random, but that's pretty much what i do.

I'm a rodian with very high green stats using a two-handed curved sword that mostly drains action. I just spam two-handed hit 2 until stuff dies while my probot takes most of the blows.

what are the stats on your 2h curved sword?
