Should i upgrade pummel or shatter? Does shatter ever last longer than 10 seconds? Off topic, if u use an offhand axe does it count towards axe ability or towards the ability of the main hand? Thx for all the help.

Usually shatter will need another damage skill to be worth it . You will be able to land 2 skill hits in 10 secs pummel and another damage skill.

Offhand doesn't affect the learning ability of the main hand weapon but another players can give more info. To my knolegde doesn't affect it.

I choose shatter(stays at 5secs) over pummel when i got double attack witch is like a second giant swing . It does great dmg its just a bit slower but if u do shatter - giant swing - double attack any mob ur lvl is half dead :) plus i also have axe offhand and my autos are awsome for a tank build at 110 i hit about 400 average. Hope i helped :)

offhand weapons are nothing more than stat boosters and a pretty glowing effect. The kind of graphic or name it has doesn't affect anything else.

Type of offhand does matter a little in regards to type of damage, ie pierce slash or crush. So the choice does matter a bit

Yeah ik that, but i was on the line of asking does the type of offhand weapon matter.

I use both, I like pummel because it doesn't interfere with weapon delay. I have trained up my hand to hand to over 1k to get maximum out of it (more consistent numbers and less evades). Shatter is my favorite new warrior skill. I have it maxed and its wonderful for doing damage to bosses. When I'm in tank mode I lose pummel for shield bash, but always keep shattet maxed out.
