heavy armor dps
Stuck
✭
Hey,
i want to create a new character, focusing on using heavy armor with a 2 hander for dps.
whats the best class suited for this? i see a lot of dragon knights and some templars, but what about nightblades?

Marthenil✭✭✭No class can do dps compared to other armors when using heavy.
As of 1.4.3, heavy armor is strictly for PvE tanking.2 -

✭✭You can absolutely dps in Heavy armor, but you wont have as high of dps as medium armor for a 2hander.
Heavy armor/2hand works great for a Nightblade and Templar, but I dont have DK experience.
It is viable in PvP, questing, delves, and public dungeons. I would not use it in Trials or veteran dungeons.1 -

✭✭It wouldn't be a stamina build btw...
It would be a hybrid. For the Nightblade, you would use surprise attack or swallow soul to deal damage at first, then when they get low, use executioner. For AE mix Sap essence with cleave, it works great.
My pvp 2hand bar looks like this: Stampede, Executioner, Surprise attack, mass hysteria, siphoning attacks, and incapacitating strike.
It allows me to play like a warrior with all melee type attacks plus a "shout" fear.0 -
Khivas_Carrick✭✭✭✭✭I used to wear all plate but Medium atm just offers such a massive boost over Heavy atm, but when I did rock Heavy, I used Backlash, Puncturing Sweeps, Executioner, Stampede, and Blazing Spear as a Templar.Bobbity Boop, this game might become poop, but I'll still play because I'm just a pile of goop!1 -

✭Medium armor will give you 12% more base damage and 21% more critical chance. That's about the only difference between medium and heavy. You can easily be a good heavy melee DPS, you just won't be the best.Edited by Lord_Draevan on 16 February 2015 13:11I'm a man of few words. Any questions?NA/PC server0 -
Khivas_Carrick✭✭✭✭✭I think in 1.6 you'll be super viable. Not the best, but viableBobbity Boop, this game might become poop, but I'll still play because I'm just a pile of goop!0

✭✭✭there is no "DPS in heavy armor"
such thoughts are foolish, and i expect you to never say something so hilarious again.
I hope you remember this valuable lesson, my young padewan. (however its spelled)3
