Return of Reckoning

is it viable?

The visuals of a dual-wielding dwarf, just doesn't appeal to me, so I wanted to know if a 2handed-Battleaxe-wielding dwarf was an option, and indeed, if it's viable in the endgame?

thanks in advance

Slayer is unplayable class rn.

Go with SW or WL.

NO.

Tommohawk is rocking 2 h slayer. I think it still is decent in smallscale. Ofc it lost parry lately, but so did all melee.

I imagine you could get some decent spike spamming spine crusher. Plus most healers don't notice an outgoing heal debuff. I say go for it. No, I command you to go for it.

for 6 man / 3 man play it can be viable. For solo play or WB .. I say no. The tactics required for it just make SL too squishy without good support behind you . Build up for any KD is too long with current TTK, and with current rdps meta.. ur just kited until killed as dont have any real way to combat range kiting, KB,KD,Disarms etc. ( same issue 2H / DW also) . hopefully when rework is done in 2 weeks.. it might change. but I feel its kinda a dead build

I say yes if you have the Sentinel weapon with the 40% speed debuff when you take damage (procs frequently). In solo for 2 hours, there are still some very effective Slayers, but I think some days must be quite tough. It's also possible to play it with regeneration using the rings, chest, pocket, and gem. Maybe later, with Sovereign Defense and the full rage tactic. There are many other ways to play it, but keep in mind that the Slayer is definitely not in a great spot right now, and you'll likely be bleeding a lot.

I'm not sure if 2h is safe to use.
Tommohawk runs with it and he pukes all the time.
I guess 2h cases stomach problems...

Start level up.
2h SL and choppa will get some love in the furure. I hope so.

I did use it too and had no such problems. Ofc it was before the WS change but i wasnt parrystacked anyway, i quess it still work. You need to prekite to get to red and have m1 up early enough to get your dmg up where it has to be and not to waste the healingchannel to parries/blocks.
Slayer will lose any prolonged fights. I used enevrvating blow to compensate bad crit reduction, 40ish parry and as much ws/str i could muster. I also ran the tactic which wont allow me to drop rage even with detaunt.

Gotta try the SL soon.
