The issue is that earthshaking strike is only good early game.  Most 2H builds will sink a few points into the top of the 2H tree, and at most dig down to whirlwind or pommel strike.  But to get earthshaking strike (upgraded) you need to drop at least 3 points.  That's 30% of your available skills at early levels.  Those are points you desperately need other places to give some utility, CC, etc.  Combat roll, charging bull, grappling chain+ & mighty blow+...all great stuff.  But you can't have it all AND sink points into earthshaking strike+ unless you use cheatengine, at least not early levels.  And early levels is when it's useful.

 

Earthshaking strike should be comparable to other deep damage skills.  It should be something you do as an alternative to specialization trees.

Maybe they should have stuck with DAO skills.  Then I could spam Sunder Arms and Sunder Armor over and over.

And I could have my creation and entropy tree's? And FORCE FIELD? Yes plz.

Yeah, but that is why I feel railroaded into Reaver when I play 2H.

I've only seen its advantage in narrow spaces where foes are more likely to get hit by it. Even when I use a combo that keeps foes in place it doesn't get enough targets for my liking. Still if I started with a stun, stagger, or knock down it's a fairly good follow-up.

Oh, this is the Earthshaking Strike thread?

 

It deals great damage with Whirlwind

Good, there is a 'sploit that makes it decent.

Much as I like Reaver's DPS, I see what you mean. I find little reason to go into the Two-Handed Weapon tree when I become one. The most I could actually use was Shield Breaker.

Yeah, I finally saw that video and I agree it's pretty nice damage using Whirlwind.
