Who said hes replacing swing cus of pummel? In any single way imo, double beats giant swing.

Speed, dmg, accuarcy, cooldown.

So, Double Attack vs Giant Swing, Double Attack wins, even if it hits less.

EDIT : oh and btw, since the swing's casting is so slow, its not much more than ur auto dmg either.

I was in the same dilemma once.

I figured double attach was better because its faster casting and cooldown and has a 100% guaranteed hit every time. Giant swing is one of the worst skills, its evadeable and the damage is actually pretty minuscule compared to that of rupture etc. They both have their merits but double attack is better.

You are missing my point. My point is that if he is using pummel, I believe he should drop pummel instead of giant. Now if he doesn't use pummel, and it is only between giant swing and double, then yes go with double. But I peronnaly would use them both.

As for your last statement, lets assume for a moment that my giant swing does 1200 damage on average(with shatter on). You would need at least two hits on auto with shatter to make up that damage, 3 would probably do more. I am almost positive the cast time for giant is not above 3 seconds. Even if it was four, that is probably still more damage than you would get with 4 seconds worth of auto. Now figure this: in a shatter, I have time for rupture, double attack, and giant swing and possibly even an extra auto. All in one shatter. And I have giant swing doing 1k damage as opposed to pummels 300-700 damage. (That was maxed pummel btw).

When i tested swing with lower dmg at lower lvl, i got it to lvl 47, while my auto wasnt quiet high, my melee almost topped that giant swing (didnt even hit close to max) and i wasted more time from shatter due long casting, while with pummel, i often hit very high (highest if to be exact), gives a decent match to firebolts, i usally lvl with another warrior on trolls so i constantly have shatters on and i spam pummels, with very fast casting and cooldown, while it costs low energy as well.
But i love double and rupture too, i like to start with Rupture for more ticks, it hits high, sometimes higher than double/pummel, and the tick dmg is great, double too unavoidable, fast casting and high dmg.
