Two Handed/One Handed Spammers....

Is it just me or does it seem like thats all everyone uses as their weapon these days? I guess the same can go for the Wield as well. Me personally Im a Hand Blaster and I'll enter a PVP match and then I'll have 5 or 8 dudes all coming at me with bats, and sticks and batons just going off. I understand that its a legitimate weapon that we can use but I just feel its being abused and spammed all to hell. I also feel people kinda rely on it as a crutch because the combos are so easy not to mention they are the most pedestrian weapon of all the weapons. IDK......Its just getting annoying to me. I wish people could switch it up a little.

Been using two handed for along time....


But like every weapon it has it's drawbacks...

I use 2 Handed weapons in every game I play, from D&D to Dragon Age to MMOs and everything in between. I just like big swords I only wish there were cooler looking swords in DCUO for 2Hs. As much as I love the Glass Claymore, I crave something more medieval.

This is actually kind of funny because I was in another thread that said 2H sucks

People use 1hand because it is the easiest to clip with, i am even seeing healers and controllers more and more using onehand just to clip with.

People tend to favor swords and bladed weapons. In most action shows were people use weapons. The leader and/or the strongest one usually uses a sword.

It's not that it's the easiest, it's that it produces the highest amount of damage in the shortest time in a nice wide cone in front of you, especially when you factor in the abilities that you're clipping the attack with. Tapping the button 3 times before holding is no more difficult than tapping 2 times.

Exactly. Already couple posts in this thread from people saying they use one or two handed. Duel Wield is another one I see people spam a lot. Those ones have the longest and fastest combos which call for people spamming the hell out it. I dont see why people dont use Hand Blaster more. To me Hand Blaster is the epitome of Superhero and or users of Super Natural Powers. Swords and sticks, and batons is so..... "Human". Hell I'd even like to see people use Staff more than 1 or 2 handed or duel wield. Staff has some challenging combos not too mention enjoyable to watch.

Thats what I mean then by spamming and relying on a clutch to not have to work so hard.

devs allready nerfed 1h, it does like 65% of its old damage.... people use it mainly because its what they are familiar with and people are just drawn to swords in videogames... even if its fotm still its out of habit not necessity... dw and 2h work just as well as 1h but 1h is what people are used too.

Why would you not use the best weapon? Don't be a hipster. Staff is far too easy to block. Even if you knock a man down you're not getting off downward smash. People don't use handblasters right now because the damage is pitiful. I think hb has the most well rounded mechanics for pvp, and after their upcoming buff you'll probably see them way more often in pvp.

Even at 65% of it's original damage, spin chop's dps modifier is equal or close to finishers that take twice as long to get to.

Im so the opposite. Im drawn to powers and magic and use of super natural abilities thats why I prefer HB.
Second to that I like guns and pistols. But swords and stick and batons....meh. Their fun but I dont feel super natural with them.

I dont use those weapons because they dont really fit with the characters I like to create. My characters all have certain style and to me HB just suits their personality and mine. I like lasers and things to that effect. I like things to shoot out from my characters.

Where do you see all these 2-H users...? 2-H has to be one of the weapons I see used the least honestly...

That's cool, I can respect a guy who sticks with what he likes. You're in for a treat, because hb should be pretty sweet after it's touched up. Unless the way that bonus crit/control resistance is awarded, many people will probably still roll with a melee weapon. Some people are just scoreboard chasers so they'll always go with what provides the highest damage/time ratio.

My favorite toon to play is usually a troller and I switch weapons to whatever seems fun, or appropriate, at the time. Anyways, I can't hate on a guy who sticks with his decisions, and I also can't hate on a guy who strives for the utmost efficiency.

People really need to stop with the "flavor of the month" tagline. Its far past its prime of diminishing something. 1H is used mostly because what others have stated, that and its also one of the faster weapons in the game IHMO.

plus if you're a troller and don't know about that certain summthin sumthin that drops in xxxxx which gives you an extra xxxx vit then you better ask somebody, oh and if you're a healer and you wanna get that xxx resto there is the sumthin' sumpthin' that drops in xxxx that gives you xxx resto.

Not to cryptic? nah plain as day I reckon.

Do you have a tag you prefer? Somehow, Noob Toober or MP40 Juggernoob from CoD doesn't quite catch it. Keeping up with the Joneses is even more cliche. Cookie-cutter PvP OK for you?

Hence the FotM. Duel Wield used to be faster before it was nerfed. Guess what. It was FotM. Rifle Grenade spamming: superfast clipping. Guess what. FotM.

Could be Im mistaken sometimes. Sometimes One and two handed look the same to me. Amidst all the middle of battle and chaos I cant tell if their holding it with one hand or two hands. I guess Im referring more so to melee weapons in general; One, two handed and Dual Wield.

Thats cool I hope so. HB is in need of some serious acknowledgment in this game.

Ah.. that's just due to the melee weapons getting a better buff than the ranged weapons. Plus their AoE combos tend to be very nice.. Especially 1-H. Nearly everyone is using 1-H... I feel left out when I PvE with my MA.

I hope they don't nerf it because of some of you guys personal preference. The are other weapons that can do higher damage just with slower combos. The only reason people use one handed now is because its faster. I used to use one handed in the time where everyone wanted to use a bow. Now that everyone is somewhat over geared they are able to use mele. And since they are using mele they searched for the one that did the fastest damage in a short time while combining their own damage. Then boom! they stumbled upon one handed. People saw others using it and thought that they wanted to do the same damage as the other person. Alot of people started using it and thats how it got labeled under ''flavor of the month''.

Soon harder raids will be out, and bow will come back to the top as the fastest hard hitting range weapon. Then its back to mele. The cycle continues!

what weapon combo are u referring to?
