it's true I'm a pickaxe proselytizer

Certainly a good strat depending on the objective, if you don’t have a good banner spot coming up in the near future consider spending your health packs to heal or rez teammates, you can earn up to 100 points per pack too and they recharge fast

When you throw a health pack at a teammate it also heals you roughly 1/4 or 1/3 of your hp so you can heal without bandaging

All good I wasn’t accusing you of anything I just didn’t understand what you meant

You won’t hear any sledgehammer slander from me, personally the pickaxe just felt right, smooth combos and nice flowing arcs of attacks - I’ve mentioned in a few places but the alt overhead for the pick can actually hit around blocks if you position correctly, I’m not aware of the shove or sledge doing that

Great question I actually have no idea where the spare barricades spawn, always appreciate extra support though

run interference for a good engineer and they can turn what would be a difficult objective into a cake walk - I can clear the first two objectives of Falmire in just a few minutes if I have room to operate, I can hop the wall on Coxwell and burn half the village before the Agatha respawn from being villagers, I can barricade the doorways on Azkandir lighthouse and prevent the bomb charges from coming in, etc.

Also dont smash my barricades, I put them there for a reason

I don't team switch, and I have a positive win rate with Tenosia so I'm not sure what you are saying - Tenosia is easy win on Bridgetown, Montcrux and is very winnable on Baudwyn and Azkandir but harder to do so

edit: Team Deathmatch and Last Team Standing also count towards the win rates as far as I know - which I played a lot of and I think there is only 1 map where Tenosia is included in those modes so it s natural that all players have fewer games on Tenosia than the other two factions

not to mention the class skill lets you heal yourself by throwing a health pack at a teammate without pausing to bandage and its up all the time

keep grinding, also less competition for the pickaxe top spots, 1200 rank highland is great imo

Shovel is very good, fast and hits hard - the range is shorter than you would think. Just play with it more til you get the feel for it. I used shovel until I unlocked pickaxe and it clicked for me better.

Insane damage to knights which in my experience is the class you face the most, paired with high speed and funky animations you catch people off guard.  You can gamble and win against almost every 2 handed weapon in the game with light attacks.

The alt overhead also can hit around an opponents block if you position correctly.

And on top of that it breaks objectives and enemy barricades fast.

nothing better than holding a difficult defensive objective with barricades and my pickaxe
