Recommended Weapon Combinations

Sword & Shield

Sword and Shield is the perfect melee pairing for the Greatsword, if being a front line Tank is your kind of playstyle. Both weapons benefit greatly from each others Passives. For example, Passive that grant Maximum Health, more damage when a target is Stunned, Damage Reduction and more! You can become the ultimate nuisance with this build. It is also worth mentioning that front line Tanks are extremely desirable in Guild vs Guild content.

Dagger

The Daggers grant Greatsword players the ability to be a true melee assassin. Both weapon Skill rotations provide a fantastic way to get onto targets, lock them down and burst them. Unlike traditional assassins that would have lower HP pools, this combination provides a fairly bulky set-up. This combination would be heavily considered as a “Bruiser” role.
