Orc Destroyer question

I just made an Orc Raider tonight and ofcourse I'm using a 2h sword and love the orc power. Don't know why I never rolled an orc till just a few days ago. Also PvPing on an orc is fun since they have so much raw power I was surprised when 2 people started ganking on me(one melee and his partner was a mystic type) and couldn't take me down. :p

My question is, I know I should use a basic blunt for stuns and a 2h sword for damage, but I ran into a 40+ Destroyer today who used dual swords.

I was just wondering how would that work on a Destroyer?
Or sticking with 2h sword still far superior?

Duals... just gotta say: LOL

First, Crush of Doom is not usable with duals, Fatal Strike isnt either(if I remember right.) and none of the masteries boost damage for those. Destroyer doesnt have Dual masteries, so using Duals is just plain stupid. You have Sword/Blunt masteries, Pole masteries _and_ Twohanded Weapon masteries which _STACK_ with Sword/Blunt masteries.

Duals on a Destroyer is like a dagger on an archer.

Two handed swords all the way! The destroyer way. But you better carry that c4 souvenir with you for those specials.....

I was once killed with a hammercrush delivered by that thing. The horror of it all, I still shudder when I think about it :D

ROFL. Are you serious?

Awesome, I'll switch that hammer thing, asap. Which is even better cause I was preparing to buy a cheap NG blunt. This one's free :p

Yep I am serious. The only reason to use a ng blunt would be to use ng ss. I dont believe the souvenirs accept ss.

I have around 160 pattk unbuffed with the new chrono. I've done 800+ dmg with crush of doom to a B-grade nuker with it >.>

To level an Orc Raider from 20 - 40 I have been told is better to go 1handed + shield , prefferably 1h blunt (for the stunning attack and better accuracy i guess?) ... i have looked up at the P att of 2H swords d grade and are the same as 1 handed and slower, so it makes sense ... what do u think, better 1h blunt, 1h sword or 2handed?

At 40+ i guess it is worth to go 2 handed as destroyer

Actually, 20-40 is ALOT easier with a polearm...if you can afford it, get a glaive, some hp pots and go to work...I get about 3-4 lvls a night(will slow down a little after 35) right now soloing, no buffer or anything. Just remember to get the masteries. And if you dont want to go that way get a top d 2 hand sword. By 26 you can 5 hit most of the low lvl 4x HP mobs in the NoS.

if you cant afford top D grade weapons, a tarbar and shield might be your best bet though.

I haven't tryed the Shield + Sword yet, gotta find a D grade clanie to try it out I guess.

However, right now at 20 I can easily solo in NoS with the 2h sword.

Will try out your suggestion as well.

I can't do Pole thing cause that wouldn't help me lvl my hatchilng, besides, I'm not looking forth to running those 2nd job quests for a while :eek:

Noob question: to hit multiple enemies with a pole u need to use a skill grants this effect like Wild Sweep / Whirlwind, or the pole itself hits all the enemies in range with a regular attack .. (I guess not).

BTW, which area is NoS? :D

A pole will hit multiple mobs without using any specials, the special will add extra damage allow over hits, im not sure but it might also add range aswell.
NoS is by wastelands, south of gluddin, teleport to langk lizardman barracks and your right there. Or use AA and port using priest.

But you better carry that c4 souvenir with you for those specials.....

It also has 0 weight .. can carry a bunch more ss :cool:

Love to ear someone else like play destroyer (as me :))
I use 2 handed with focus and switch to the blunt hammer for the stun attack. Other poster have said already much.. i want to add my 2 cents on:

1)
use script to change fast your weapon, skill-hit, and re-change back to main weapon.

One hit on Fn key and is like you have stun on your 2handed sword :)

Oh.. you must use the /delay 1 in script sequence for the back-change of weapon.. seems the engine is not so fast gettin back your sword.

2)
Get pratice in combination you use Rage, Battle Roar, Guts and Frenzy and potions of Great heal.. like don't go in rage when multi mobs on you.. simply wait for the Guts.. and then go in Battle Roars+Great heal pot.. use Frenzy direct on magic mobs (+rage = nuclear assault.. devastating if enter also a critical with SS).. and Guts for melee mobs.

3)
This my personal impression.. melee (and slow melee like orc destroyer) must use terrain and tattic more then others. Once you engage 99% you must do the job to the end.. you cannot escape easily.. use alacrity with care but use it.. your 2handed is slow (with care i mean don't get addidcted.. money fly away).

The fact i never playied another class make me not so good on judge.. but i feel somewhat unconfortable on getting a party with a nuker.
It's like we have 2 different rithm of play.. he don't need me to kill mobs.. and no need me to tank because he can kill mob before mob can hit him.. more seems he need me to gain some mp.. and destroyer don't have skill to get agro.

Well... this to say.. rithm of battle with a destroyer seems different.. more slow and tattic.
(but more funny for my point of view).
