Hi, could get some pointers on which skill to choose for wardens? I prefer blades cuz they look more cool 8) but blunt has bonus dmg against alot of armour types like plate, chain. But its harder to find good blunt weapons compared to blades. If I go into blunt I will only put 20 points to get Force of might, but if I go into blades, I will put 39 points, so I can get Fire blade and spectrum blade. So which is better? If blunt weapons are str based then wat stat is blades based on?

Thanks in advance!

Slam has high bonus dmg.

I am a level 42 firblog Warden i have been thinking about what race is best for Warden or Celt. with Firblog you hittle a little harder have higher con. and BLock and parry a little less and stick out in Rvr. with Celt you block and parry more witch will often save your but so with all the New Wardens I suggest you Go Short Celt and if you Dare to Go Firblog like I did be a Short one not a Large one.

OK.. Now 42 level... I like my Stalagmite. :::grins:: OK.. no real bonus against armor for blunts untilll.... you pay attention to dmg to creatures with hard shells(not rock critters that much) and PEOPLE wearing plate armor. I can actually win against an orange plate wearer. Red to me plate wearers are iffy.. depends on how many times I block and parry. My weapon doesn't even proc yet. I am a 42 warden and do my share of healing and tanking. Like a said before... Wardens are not meant to be a primary tanks and now with my decision to slightly change my spec direction I do nice dmg, heal well and use the bubble.

Blunts are great weapons although there should be a stun in there somewhere and the message for 'cannot seem to move' is just bogus::grins::

I have played text based RPG's on and off for about 8 years. This is my first graphics based online game. I am not into recording stats and probabilities or power leveling. I play for fun and something to do mainly away from home(which I am quite a bit sometimes).
I have a firbolg warden and I know he is not a tank but he can stand his own ground when he gets aggro from healing the puller(which is something i prefer to do when in groups) and he can help out when his magic runs out. I have mainly focused on regrowth until it was 12 level and now I will bring nurture up to the level for the group bladeturn that renews. I have been keeping my blunt skill at 1/3 my level and I think I will continue to do so.
I have always liked blunts in text based games because if you had the strength required to wield one effectively you could get better hits against people in all armor except plate, because flexable armor crushes even if you cannot slash or pierce it. What I don't understand is why that is not reflected in this game. The damage absorbtion should not be a universal stat for armor because armor would absorb more damage from slashing weapons then crushing weapons.
Is this an unreal request to see if the damage can be enhanced for crushing weapons versus equal level slashing/piercing weapons? Maybe instead of retooling armor logic to reflect the damage effect Mythic can increase damage of crushing weapons by a little bit?
One last thing.. why doesn't stun work yet? I get the message "<critter> cannot seem to move" but it still attacks just the same as before. Can we get it fixed Mythic? Even if I cannot have the increased damage effect I would like the appropriate stun effect.

Im a Champion w/ a big friggin hammer! but i guess its not a blunt weap 0_o?! so the styles and training are useless to me when using it..i mean thats gotta be 80% of becoming a champ..to use Lg Weaps. and the base skills blunt and peirce dont appy to Lg weaps..not cool, so will i keep getting blunt styles that i cant use w/ my hammer or not..this should be fixed..thx happy Hunting

when these skill mention effects such as penalty to defense, or attack speed....is that for me the attacker or the victim??

Druids can't train weapons sorry

Figured as much. Now Level 11 and gave up thinking I was going to get a Blunt Skill. Too bad... would be nice to specialize my favorite weapon type.

When does a Druid get the ability to use this Blunt Skill? I am 9th Level and have seen no way to even train at it. Am I missing something?
