so ik the point of pummel being strong with good gear, and its true but heres my question
at lvl 160 i'll be using anc wyrmbone axe
my skills will be
rupture
proc stance
shatter
-----
extra pts in defensive formation
now, theres both double attack and pummel (giant swing is just horrible sometimes)
now double attack is also fast, can be good with an axe, unavoidable as well, can save skill pts
pummel is also strong with the right gear, low energy cost, fast casting and cooldown
my point is that i dont have any grand/royal pummel rings, and i dont think a royal pummel charm will be better than 40 cold dmg charm (on haste melee will be the thing that does the most dmg, including shatter, in the long run melee is better)
the beastbone gloves will be enough to make it strong comparing to melee with anc wyrmbone axe?

Do you have a decent auto? If you don't, pummel would be a good choice, as pummel does not use your auto damage. With Ancient Beastbone Gloves, Pummel will be pretty good at 1/35. And Double Attack is a great skill to use, and put it at the level mobs you level on. If you don't have sigils, consider putting points in Bandage Wounds. I use Giant Swing at level 1, as with Sweeping Blow.

Im not a lvl160 but don't use pummel, giant swing I keep at 1 because its affected by weapon, not skill points. Anyway just don't use pummel because in the end its not worth it as well as double attack is a guaranteed hit. I know you crim

trust in me my boy!!! (Jk lol)

Trust the data not people's opinions here. Take pummel to the level you plan on and see of it does more than double your auto. If it does than pummel is the clear choice. If not then da is the clear choice.

With the right gear your oummel will do 1.5k dmg minumum as mine does 1.9k easily and can do up to 2.2k so basically while your training if you hit 700+ dmg autos then don't use a noob ish pummel even with a onyz pike i can barely get to my pummel dmg my max dbl attack atm. Was 2.1k that hasnt beat my 2.2-2.4k pummels on mobs my level.

Pummel has horrible fluctuation. My double attack is constantly 2.5-3k while pummel goes from 1.2-2.9. And evades a crap ton

if u would read u could know i said ik the point of the right gear, stop making same posts on every thread, i said if it would be good with gloves only
my str including gear is on 300, my melee atm can do 400-600 no shatter, and 600+ with shatter
and i'll switch to anc wyrmbone axe soon, thats why i was wondering
anyone knows whats the max dmg of pummel at 35? (with str that is around the same as mine)

Double attack is 2 autos, for those of you who don't know.
