Upgrade Shatter to max almost and try to get Double Attack. I recently got both and it is much easier to kill spiders and scorpions in Carrowmore for me.

Yes this is a good idea ive also done the same replace pummel with double attk and max shatter and double attk then rest in swing and stance

Get armoire at your lv

YES SHATTER AND DOUBLE STRIKE ARE AMAZING
but if you dont have those just stick to pummel and giant swing
when you hit like lvl 80 though pummel will be almost useless
by then you should get at least one of the two skills and move the points from pummel into the new skill (either shatter or double attack)

Armour*

I got rid of pummel and got double attack instead. My double attack is at 27 (+2 ring) but hits signficantly less than my giant swing, is that normal? It also costs a lot more energy than Giant swing.

Yeh there is a lot of chat about double attack and how it rocks, particularly in comparison to pummel. I have double attack maxed and am pretty unimpressed with the dmg. Yes it is a guaranteed hit but I am not missing much anyway and I certainly did more dmg with pummel. Definitely get shatter as it makes a big difference, particularly if you are in a group with rangers and rogues but I am not so sure about double attack. As always I will wait for some lvl80 to tell me I am wrong.

at your lvl, more than 20-25 dex is useless, u dont need much defence and dex doesnt add much attack, u can just max swords tho
so put the pts into str/vit
get rid of shield bash, really its not lvling skill and it drains the energy like nothing
at your lvl and gear i suggest pummel, altough its a crappy skill, it barely cost any energy and it'll be higher than ur melee atm
proc stance ofc, never drop this skill, i wouldnt drop it even for frenzy
giant swing is nice, better than double attack when melee is low

but the best skill is shatter, so when u get to the lvl of maxing 4 skills, do pummel proc.stance shatter and g.swing

as for gear, get a decent armour, try getting warden and met (meteor, or astral if u want) as fast as u can
get rejuv offhand, or eng ammy, those two are the best options because :
rejuv offhand will add dmg and ofc, rejuv
eng is better than regen and why ammy and not ring/bracelet? since castle lux ammies add armour

try getting heroic gloves too, haste ring is prob better but it cost 350k at the shop and noone will sell u one, so its 350k comparing to gloves which is 150k at shop but u can buy from ppl for much less

dont spend on elixirs untill ur at least 80, really i dont see why ppl need to elixir before that lvl, u can lvl without any elixirs even up to 100 or more

dont, but dont ever buy flint armour or wep, totaly useless, so as topaz and opal
try getting quartz wep only, quartz has lvl req of 60 and better than flint
try getting diamond wep when ur 80, if u want to get other diamond, dont buy gloves
get a good clan that will u help u lvling and with drops like discs, rems and tabs
get better lux by the time, buying/selling as usual, but buy first and sell later, so u wont get stuck without lux untill u buy any

How about this. Get a one-handed blunt wep, like a hammer *fav* then use Rupture instead of Giant Swing, and Double Attack for Pummel, Max those two including Proc Stance and Shatter and other skills you wanna throw in there. Tada! You are now a beast

1 flaw a pummel can hit higher then a double attack many times. in my case i hit 500-700(with pummel) more then double attack honestly if you dont have good pummel item its decreases its actual value alot. also if you dont have a good auto hit your dbl attack will blow. say most warriors do 200-400 dmmg with quest swords with a nice offhand you will most likely only hit at the max of 1k-1.3k dmg with dbl and good gear. before i got dbl attack i did a test for max auto hit for my lvl around 125 ish i did 1k+ dmg so if i got a double attack my max dmg would only be 2k-2.1k as for my pummels it will no matter what range from 1.9k-2.4k dmg as a higher level in a clan to kill aggy i would suggest to use pummel at 140 with beastbone guantlets it wont let you down. i have 38 pummel royal pummel drag charm and then my beastbone guants and my pummel after shatter will completely f your day up.
