Poleaxe Or Sword?Follow

#1 May 07 2007 at 5:50 PM Rating: Decent
So which is better I did some reading and I still cant deceide which to get spec wise Poleaxe or sword. In one of the posts it said that Sword mastery is not that affective unless you have a high critical chance but, poleaxe is hard to get into due to lack of weapons. So I ask all of you what would you recommend I am on a pvp server and I am full arm specs. Your help and advice is appreciated thank you.

Well it all depends on what you want to use. I use two flurry axes and the Ice Barbed Polearm(got it at 52) as my two handed weapon. I'm not planning to use a sword yet so I have not taken that talent.

Been looking for something to replace my flurry axes but so far have not been able to find anything suitable. They are great at generating rage.

For lvling I always go with Poleaxe spec. 2 reasons:

- It applies to several weapon classes.

- IBS.

I like sword spec. it seem like it proc alot. I know alot people like polearm because it increase your crit stike chances. I don't think talent points work with anything else like utarius apply in his posting it only works with polearms

Increases your chance to get a critical strike with Axes and Polearms by X%.


It's for both Polearms and Axes. Both one-handed and two-handed axes too.

I'm sorry you was complete right Utarius it is for axe too. Thanks for clearing that up. But I still like sword better but just my opinion.

I guess it all depends on your weapons.

I got the Executioner's Cleaver axe in a drop at lvl 44 and I'm still using it at lvl 51. It crits a lot and I've got 3/5 in Sword spec 0 in Poleaxe. Go figure. My blade of the Titans is great for the stamina boost but it doesn't crit nearly as much as the axe.

I tried to do the axe thing, and I decided that I just can't handle it. Attack speeds of like 3.6 or 3.8 make playing my warrior feel worse than grinding with the druid in bear form. Way too slow for me.
