Greetings everyone,

I'am a lvl 43 Dread Knight on Gelenia Server,

I have a few things that really bugging me, about 2hander and using 1h/Shield.

I first started using 1h/shield (short-sword) since it was the best damage I saw on 1h sword Ive seen or could get my hands on at that time, but when I started to level up, I notice at lvl 38+ that its been getting extremly hard for me to keep my hate, espicallly against high dps classes. My rescues werent getting my enough time to keep the mobs on to me so I can gather back my hate, and I was playing ping pong aggro with other classes. Then I was told later on that I should use 2h weapon to keep my hate, when when I switch to a 2h weapon my hate was kept almost through out entire fight, I average of almost a 90% hold rate with my 2hander.

I really do wish to go back to 1/h and shield, I want to be a easy for my healer to heal on, instead of wasting all there mana on me and just on chance when they need to use the mana they have enough for the other members in my group.

Right now I'am over at Bernaid Hills , about to finish my quest for the heroic weapons, my quest rewards are a 1h sword with a 57dps, but I heard the patch will be adding a 2h Maul (which Iam proficient in) Im still wondering if I go with the 1h sword with the 57dps, will I still have the problems keeping my dps? or just go with the maul and forget every using the 1h weapon ever again.

I also notice , when I group with Warriros or Paladins, they can keep there hate alot better than I , when they are using 1h/shield.

Am I doing somthing wrong here? Can anyone please give me some decent advise that could help me out. I would greatly appericate it.

(Note: When I tank, I go into defensive stance, as always )


Thank you,

Myra,
