Looking at pretty much every one of your posts, you haven't figured out what we're asking you to do. Perhaps a week off will clue you in.

That being said, neither sword spec or axe spec compare at all to mace spec. Seeing a warrior with deep thunder or stormherald makes me afraid... it is like dealing with a whole new class.

yes exactly. the only time i'd rather have a crit than extra attack is during a huge execute, which rarely happens in arena. for everything else, sword proc is just as good, if not, better.

sword spec can miss, but has a much higher chance of critting anyways. top that off with the extra attack's BASE DAMAGE NOT BEING AFFECT BY RESILIENCE (the -CRIT DMG part), it's definitely better than axe spec. sword spec also makes the chances of procing CoH effects more frequently (Mongoose, WF, sword spec, etc).

@ Samurro: i know axe spec adds to crit base, but it's only *5%*, just like sword spec. the chance that you crit BECAUSE OF AXE SPEC (meaning you don't crit that attack if you didn't have axe spec) is the same as getting an extra attack from sword spec. i have about 35% in arena on average with BoK(situational) and Mongoose while being sword spec. i know better geared characters have much more than that.

seriously, sometimes i think no one reads/understands what needs to be read/understood. when will the day come that everyone agrees sword spec is better than axe spec by fact?

@ mace spec: the stun does diminish in value the more people there are, but for 2v2, it's godly. for 5v5, i think it would depend on what your role is, what the group strategy is, and who you are stunning with it. mace spec is around 15% proc chance which is higher than the other two, so yeah, it does a beter job at it's function than the other two.
