Is this as good as 2h and bow? I like the concept of having 2 swords and then one big ass sword. also templar has a ranged ability in the spear throw which may reduce the need for a bow right?
Playing your character the way your character should play is all that matters. Play as well as you can but never betray the character. Doing so would make playing an mmoRPG pointless.

✭✭Well, both? I'd like to know advantages and disadvantages for both. I know no bow in pvp means no snipe spam.Playing your character the way your character should play is all that matters. Play as well as you can but never betray the character. Doing so would make playing an mmoRPG pointless.0 -

It depends. Stamplars (in PvP) shine when they're in close quarters, applying a ton of pressure. 2h/DW is my personal preference because I have a more aggressive play style. A bow kinda takes you out of the melee zone and out of the optimum fighting area. Snipe spamming is always an effective means of killing someone, regardless of class, but it takes zero skill and isn't in any way a challenge, which makes it super boring for long term play. Do what you enjoy and what challenges you!PC/Xbox NA

KlotePino✭✭✭I suppose it's best to just do you, if you prefer 2 sets of melee weapons then you play that. I do that as well and is tons of fun in both pve ánd pvp.1 -
Khivas_Carrick✭✭✭✭✭As long as you can lay on the DoTs, 2H/DW will be just as viable as 2H/Bow.
For me on my Stamplar, I use 2H/Bow and the bow is entirely for DoTs; Endless Hail, Shards, Poison Injection, PotL, and Caltrops. Replace Hail and PI with whatever DW has for bleeds and I'd assume that would pretty much leave you in the good place.Bobbity Boop, this game might become poop, but I'll still play because I'm just a pile of goop!1 -

✭✭✭✭✭For PvP, DW mainbar and 2h backbar for rally or FM is the most reliable imo. Even when it’s laggy DW and javalin performes better than using dizzy swing.
If you can handle it however, there’s something to be said for SB for reverb and then 2H for jabs, reverse slice etc. Its difficult to use well though and requires good performance since you need to bar swap.
For PvE assuming vet dungeons vMA etc, youll need to run bow and dw. It’s just a totally different setup. Gear, traits, cp will all be different.0 -
Dirty_Digs✭✭✭I prefer my templars nice and easy to kill, try some generic white gear and drop the weapons altogether and stick to class abilities that don't match your damage stats.
That's my honest opinion for pvp, I have no advice for pve1 -
jhall03✭✭✭✭All combinations mentioned in this thread can work in PVP. In PVE DW/Bow is top dog but people make other combinations work, just with less DPS.0

Khivas_Carrick✭✭✭✭✭Roughly 3k dps less, or 2 to 5% damage overall, which isn't exactly massive, especially when you have to take into account player skill and pure dumb luck.Bobbity Boop, this game might become poop, but I'll still play because I'm just a pile of goop!0

Not to mention when you have a 2H, you have access to rally and brawler, the survivability with that set up is unmatched.0 -
