First off, no one's "flaming" you chief lmao. Step off that horse before you fall.

Second, you left out the maxed Longhammer (arguably the best warhammer) from your baseline, and it's a LOT closer than you think it is without a dual wield. Warhammers crit double just like swords.

Third, shields would do nothing for me. I don't have need to bash, I just want a soft block for mitigation's sake. I'll remind you that I'm wearing heavy that can't even see the cap anymore with high stam/health regens (40%+) and I don't die before what I'm hitting, ever...it's not even close.

In any event, the Warhammer is a small part of the playstyle, I outlined it in a link I was editing in while you were posting. And what ever happened to the OP bit? I miss that idea, but it seems to have gotten dismissed for numbers about maxed things by both of us. We've both got followers of our same styles, but in the end it'll come down to what difficulty you're running currently for any comparison that involves speed/ttk. There's no "right" setting for difficulty, so we both lose and win here really. On certain settings, a warhammer will kill what a sword can't (sometimes many somethings) in one hit, negating speed. On others, the sword makes better use of its swing speed, negating the hammers raw power/aoe, but both will work well in any difficulty. Just because I don't use a thing in my play style doesn't mean it isn't viable, or worth running in the right set up. It just means I want to hit things REALLY hard with a giant hammer until their head flys off, impale things on a 40 pound hunk of flat steel, walk through hits like they're feathers, or headbutt things to death with a giant metal mohawked helmet. There's a thousand ninja movies, but very few with a guy cloaked in metal with a giant hammer destroying everything (there's "Steel", but Shaq can't act). I want THAT movie instead, you wanna be a ninja/knight, whatever floats your boat. Throw your hat in the ring on the link in my last post though, I wanna see the rest of sword style.....and we can stop arguing in this guys thread lol.
