Glads and dual wielding

i use them all.

 

They're good, except when you find yourself doing a (3-6)v1, it's not fun. :[

1v1, it's pretty good if you can weave effectively and know when to weave.

I've found you can really do a lot of damage if you use a sword/mace or dagger/mace. Whichever weapon is mainhand should be the faster weapon because it takes that stat into attack speed.

 

kaa is dual wield :x

 

You still dw? <3

 

when its not a zerg yes xD

 

I think he's changing. We were comparing greatsword with spear yesterday.

 

PoleArm/GS>>>>>>>DW Glad in any PvP situation. The comparison is so far and between its no longer even close anymore sadly.

The biggest drawback of DW Glad is that you no longer have access/advantage to the powerful skills that pertain to knockdowns which gives you advantage to significant skills and big damage pay off. This is arguably the most significant differences from DW with Glad to Pole arm or Great Sword Glad. For having the consistent ability to knock down puts players into states in which they cannot attack, cast or counter allowing you free damage and kd skills. The other part is simply the Burst Damage of PA/GS is far more advantageous then just continuous consistent damage in PvP.

If this was Aion prior to 1.5, then DW Glad would be extremely effective in PvP and the reason to that was before 1.5, the critical rate of Daggers and Single Handed Swords were vastly superior to 2H Weapons. This produced better damage results for DW over things like Pole Arm and Great Sword even, hence going the Dual Wielding route was very powerful in not only PvE but PvP as well. However from 1.5 onward, it has no longer been the same.

If its just simply PvE, then DW its overall damage is better. Obviously play what you like of course, as I have personally created two Glads, one who uses PA/GS for PvP purposes and the other DW Glad for fun factor, and the fact that I <3 swords.

However on a PvP perspective its effectiveness is simply overshadowed by the pole arm and great sword. Sigh, I miss the good old days before 1.5, because when 1-H Swords were causing greater crit damage, not only did classes like the Glads benefited with their DW, but my Templar Class greatly benefited from this as well, just imagine a Templar with far, far greater damage output in contrast to what you see today along with greater HP, defense etc, etc, yes, the good old days before the big nerfs.

In my opinion, NcSoft needs to revamp it up again, making it reliable to go either Dual Wield or 2-H Weapons, because now a days in PvP their is no reason to go anywhere but with 2-H weapons. This is a blow that just didn't hurt the other play style of Glads but also other classes like the Temp (Back then you could cause great damage with Sword/Shield now a days it laughable in contrast to 2-H GS).
