Got a question about Warriors and some of the Job Traits they get. I'm seeing a lot of job traits that would promot Axe + Shield gameplay (Fencer, Shield Mastery, & Shield Defense Bonus), so my question is: Do many Warriors play this way? Do they try to DPS Tank it up with a 1h Axe and a Shield?
I know a lot use GAxe to do stupid amounts of Dmg, but could a Warrior increase their survivability with a shield while still maintain "decent" (emphasis on "decent," not amazing or GAxe numbers) dmg with a 1h Axe?
Does anyone have any experience with this playstyle? I'm curious because my Warrior is coming up on a few of these traits and I'd like to know if I should just go GAxe all the way to cap or would taking advantage of these traits pay off in a duo/leveling situation?
