    Ax. Swords percentage based is bad.

    Ax. Swords percentage based is bad.

    they got buffed though right?

    can someone link how much it for buffed from the official notes? and how much axe bleed is nerfed?

    I'm happy with my double daggers now that i can use on both pve n pvp....

    They got "buffed", yes, from 2.5% per to 3%, though this was just a fix, as the game rounds all percentage based damage amps down. So when you were running a single sword before the lastest patch, you were only getting 2%, not 2.5%. still bad at 3%. As that damage percentage is added to all the other ones you have and leading to less actual damage increase then it seems. Mauls, in general, are better then swords. axes, in general are better then mauls. daggers, in general, are better then axes. Though the actual difference between them all is very small.

    so for pvp StamDK, dual wield daggers and 2H maul still sounds like a good idea?

    Well, I do have some skill at conkers,

    if you must know...

    ...but I fail to see why that's relevant.

    i tried golding a pair of axes last night and brought it to BG.

    yes, it does bleed still.

    and no, in pvp, it is not even in the top 5 damage source reported by combatlog.... rend bleed makes it to top 5 though.


    unfortunately, i can't say if the overall DPS is higher or lower than a pair of dagger because pvp DPS fluctuates too much with the infrequent combat and variety of resistances by player targets.
