Heavy attacks vs minions | Forums

[Dark-Thomy]

Aside from some characters who have heavy attacks that may strike multiple minions at once , why would one use a heavy Stamina consuming attack against minions ??

(let's ignore an instant that the animations are waaay cooler though x3 That's not enough)


There's a bit of rework to do I think.

You said it, some characters have heavy attacks that strike multiple minions. The Kensei and the Warden can combo from a light attack into a heavy attack that strikes multiple minions. Those two classes also have a feat that lets them regenerate health and stamina by killing minions so stamina loss against minions isn't so much of a deal for them.

Okay but for the others ??...

The Conqueror heavies are even worse than his lights !

Beserker has a good heavy string with jumping on the back of one to kill another (awesome animation btw) on quite some distance.

I never use light attack on mobs as Beserker.

The Conqueror's main job is not to take on mobs. He is meant to be the tank class that sits on capture points and beach slaps 2v1s

Conqueror's actually pretty great at killing minions. Infinite light attacks mean slaughter without pause, and the RB+LT attack is a huge 360 degree double-sweep. Conq's heavy attack is terrible for it, that much is true, but he's got other tools.

For me, a tank that has the feat body count is way more set up to fight on the front than a single targeting assassin with low hp.
(you even gain renown by doing so....... but nobody seems to know what purpose it has !)

Conqueror heavy on minions doesn't make sense however.

Conquerors are the best at minion clearing because they have an infinite area attack. Add Body Count to the mix and you can stand in the midst of the minion wave and clear them all in a breath as they walk like lemmings into your sweeping flail!
