Yes, pincer is really that good. It's HUGE damage, it lags, and it's really difficult to protect against.

You've got two crit-styled hits against your opponent in one move. If you wield axes their vuln to, which is really all that matter for an axe spec, you can ruin half of their HP just on initiation.


Then just rely on deathblow. If it fires at any point during the fight, you win.

If it doesn't, just pincer again.

If for some reason they are outdamaging you through DB/Pincer/resist/stoneskin - Then pull back. Heal up. Come back, repeat. RNG will go in your favor at one point.


Mixing in the huge natural dam resist from being a svirf villager, along with the damage output of an axe spec with deathblow, you really should have no problem.


If I can get over a hundred pks with it - ANYONE can.





You asked about other specs, and that's dandy - But none of them offer such a high damaging, lagging, initiation attack.

Consider again, at level 29, how much hp mages have.
Then add out the damage you're putting out in one pincer.
It makes sense that it works so well with such little effort.

And you really don't have to care about gear - You've got fucking DB, just pincer and wait for it.

Don't try a power combo? Hah! Just role up your fire sword basher/ svirf pincer warrior, thirst and then call what you kill skill. (n/t)

Let me make it a bit more simple: Village pk builds: Berserker. NT

Batman March 09, 2012 06:50AM

if you plan to hang around mid ranks defender is better

Quas March 09, 2012 11:03AM

100% true here. Axe + Defender + low lvl (max 33) = I win button

Dirt March 10, 2012 07:54AM

On the other hand, deathblow at low levels is a lot more decisive than deathblow at high levels.

vortexmagus March 09, 2012 12:59PM

yeah but you just can't bring that to bear

Quas March 09, 2012 01:47PM

Yup. Get the traveler edge for mv regen and with FD there is almost zero down time. And a villager with no down time to heal/regen can be a pain.

Dirt March 10, 2012 07:59AM

Assassin, svirf, arial or cloud.

First off, rush 29. Second, rush village. Third, get 10 pks per level. Slowly go to hero, since it's harder at hero. NT

There's very good Svirf only armor in Lower Svirfland. I think it's limited, but not very. (n/t)

Outfit. Get the notched axe from the ruins for mainhand, thin hunting axe from udgaard. Go pincer people, tada. NT

If you're going villager, and want to survive to an awesome degree - I still say svirf. There is a reason pincersvirf is famous.

Batman March 09, 2012 08:37AM

contrary to what he said, Go giant(any) or human

Quas March 09, 2012 10:00AM

Not to mention you can be a faggot and get permafly on a svirf rager (n/t)

RobDarken March 09, 2012 08:48AM

And not really have to worry about weight because you don't need a huge prep bag (n/t)

Coumidin March 09, 2012 09:06AM

except the build is all about damage output, not dam redux
