Best weapon to pair with the Hatchet?
Tried a bunch of the weapons and I don't like any of them as much as I like the Hatchet so I keep going back to it for my main.

Should I go Bow for some long range to pull enemies towards me or life staff for some heals. Hatchet will be the main weapon because I like how fast it is and that when you use some Beserk you get some heals as well as the ability to not be staggered when hit.

I am a fan of great axe/hatchet personally.

I maxed hatchet and great axe... I like both of those. I started sword and spear but I'm not a big fan of those yet.

Got some decent gap closers for pvp on great axe and lots of healing if you go the aoe route in PvE to level it up. I found a spot I can get a pull of 370xp (sometimes 407) and 185 xp (rarely 227) on a non-stop cycle of about 90 seconds for both pulls(other players sometimes mess it up). Was very quick to max out.

Honestly, the hatchet pairs well with a lot of weapons.

Hammer also scales with strength and can provide solid damage and lots of CC when your berserk is down.

Life staff allows you to throw down 2 healing fields and then switch to hatchet to become virtually unkillable for 10s.

Bow/Musket gives you some range options, if you need them.

Ice Guantlet helps in pvp for locking down enemies.

Sadly as fun as hatchet is in early game it falls behind as you level in my opinion. By like lvl 45 you can CC and 2 shot groups of mobs with a hammer... hatchet poking seems pathetic compared to the hammer which also heals you. But its still officiant to use hatched for some heals between the pulls.

Ill have to check out the hammer some more then. I just didn't care for how slow it was.

Convinced me to do hammer next lol...
Bonking wolves and screaming at turkeys is top-tier gaming. I definitely recommend! :sarahsmile:

Big Axe is a wonderful combo with Hatchet. If you want something with a longer reach could go Spear with hatchet.

I like Warhammer.. only got to lvl 18 but I think Great axe is better combo myself.... Although the hammer is much easier to survive aoe with 35% of dmg heal with shockwave and path of destiny.
