I am not seeing any major changes on 1.6
Regarding the Heavy Weapons passive, which 2-hander does the MOST damage? Sword – 5%? Axe – Bleed? Mace – 20% armor ignore? I’d appreciate your insight. I’ve been using mace because I was hoping that would somehow increase my crit chance. Your insight is appreciated. Thanks.
Swords
why does the 5% increase damage do more damage then the 20% armor pen or is it just that there isn’t as much armor to get 5% increase damage
No idea, haven’t tested it myself.
Um I believe that you made mistake in uppercut name, still great job ! Keep it up. :3
i have a guestion about two skills. im use brawler and reverse slice but i need to make room for a other skill and i cant pick one of those two skills because i dont know what is the better skill i like aoe dmg + the dot and the shield. but from reverse slice i dont have a shield or dot but the dmg is nice aswell. i hope can help me pick one^^ .

While leveling I’d choose Brawler because its protection and AoE damage is substantial.
