New WAR Weapon Qs

[Rebellion]

WAR 7 as of yesterday, having some thoughts on weapon choice. I know Im going to stick to axes, and I'm using a 1H Axe as of now. I want to raise both axe and great axe so I can be more diverse in PTs. Have a couple Qs first.

1) What level should I start raising Great Axe? Seems too hard to kill even a DC with one as of now.

2) W/o including skillchains and stuff, which weapon is more effiecient for my WAR.

if you want to tank, great axe helps hold hate better (better damage, big criticals, etc), axe might be better dot, depending on the level, but its harder to hold hate but you take less damage (shield).

For damage dealer go GAXE imo.

From the first 30levels i have played war, i have found gaxe is much more efficient especially against those high-def monsters.
(just because i have to note, but shieldbreak is one of the best early weaponskills in the game. dont even have to be in a skillchain and its -really- good.)



but even though it may seem hard to level great axe right now, i would suggest you try to stick with it... only kill some even match and stuff, collect crystals and stuff in the process, then when you get to 10skill, you'll probably be able to take EMs or T as easily as DC because of shieldbreak (lowers evade! yipee-ee)

At lower levels, Axe/Shield will do fine. You would want to start skilling it up on weak mobs at first and work your way up, I'd say about level 20ish.

Lv both. Kill "too weaks", etc. to skill the Gaxe up to it cap, possibly some "easy preys"... when both axes are capped, when PTing switch between both, damage, Gaxe... tanking Axe.

If you're not switching between roles, just use one for a li'l while, then, switch.

Alright, thanks. I have GA and Axe in the upper 20s and i'm about to hit lvl 10 and start PTing, in which case ill cap them both, then use whichever fits my current role.
