Alright, Currently I'm a level 46 destroyer. I have a few questions for you destroyers that I'm anxious to find out. I went to mamon the other day and got my berzerker blade, but the more I look into my skills I see them favoring polearms,blunt weapons, and poleaxes....my question is...is it stupid to go a staff? Because that appears to be the best way to go with all my skills....
Question is, what do you use on your destroyer? Because I want skills and I'm finding out I really don't have any skills for my sword...so should I stay with my sword or go something else such as a blunt weapon? Lemme know. Ty
Only skills that you need a blunt for is stun. 2 different stun attacks for blunt. All the other skills are either usable by polearm or by blunt/sword.
If you got a SE to party with and know some other pole users, using a polearm to lvl to 52 might be a good choice(I did that myself) but after 52 pole groups are much more scarce(C4 killed polegroups in any lvl range somewhat) so then a Great Sword would be a good choice.
Alot depends on your current armor/tat setup and the fact if you pvp alot or if you're mainly pve'ing at the moment.
From 40-52 I used Orcish Poleaxe. From 52-> I switched to Great Sword and now I'm replacing it with a Dragon Slayer(when I get the adena for it). I carry a ng blunt with me for stunning and made a macro that arms it, uses stun and then switches back to my main weapon.
If you want to be the big DD a destro is, 2 handed sword is your choice. If you want to lvl as fast as possible and got the people to support you, then get a polearm. Polegroups rock after 52 too and it's faster exp than hunting mobs 1 at a time ;)
Optimal weapon setup for all destroyers, regardless of armor and tattoo setups would be to have 1handed blunt with shield, 2 handed sword, bow and polearm. This way you can adapt to all situations and use all your skills in PVP. S-grade gives some nifty options as the 2handed blunt has same pattk as the 2handed sword(if I remember right) so there the setup might be a bit different.
Using a staff, thus lowering your pattk and crit rate so you can stun is not worth it imho since you can stun with a simple swapping of weapons and stun doesnt need a good weapon for it. You can use even the Chrono darbuka to stun and then switch back to your main weapon.
For C-grade, Berz Blade has 190 pattk while the top C blunts have 152. Berz Blade also can have Focus SA so it is much better for exping than a Blunt twohander that would only allow you to use stuns.
I appreciate your reply. Currently I have a full plate armor set with a +4 berserker blade with focus on it. So far so good, I may just keep it at this then if my skills for those blunts don't even really matter when having a blunt weapon.
/useshortcut 5 5
/delay 1(is enough here)
/useskill stun/hammer crush
/delay 3(allows the skill animation to play, otherwise you get a message that you cannot switch weapon due to skill being used. 2 is not enough if you lag even slightly, so 3 is minimum.)
/useshortcut 5 6
/delay 1
/attack
Macros are not too good in pvp as they can go horribly wrong, and thats why I personally just have the weapons on my hotbar and manually switch between them. Faster and more reliable that way :)

same reason i dont have a macro to use wrath
not to mention it takes alot longer to use the macro than to do it manually
:D
yeah macros tend to leave you fighting with your fists or with the Club you use for stun :)
as far as the post, I go for the 2hander, great p atk and with focus once u get frenzy+rage nothing can't stand the crit, 3117 critical is my current record :D
