Any lists of best stagger weapons?
Since my old builds and weapons are useless with the new patch anyone have a good guide of which weapons per class stagger the most

I found that fast staggerweapons like Mace/hammer (one handed) and DUal Hammers worked best.
Greathammer was often way to slow when Bestigors charged and knocked you back.

Also Shields work well, best on Ironbreaker because you can get 70% stamina regen.

Copied from my other post:

So I noticed that the teams worked best if 1 or 2 had FAST mass stagger weapons (tried Shield + Axe on IB; Greathammer and DUal Hammers on Slayer (Win was with Slayer).
The fast mass stagger weapons (Mace/Hammer, DUal Hammers, Shield) tap the enemies and give them stagger.

Then the other 2-3 teammates hit the enemies with fast DPS weapons and talents like Assassin or Mainstay for mass dmg boost against staggered enemies since further hits stack up the stagger-condition.

Most hordes were no problem with that "tactic", against Bannergroups, the Shield+Axe really did shine when you were stuck in an area where you can not circle around (IB with 70% stam regen) so you could bash and push your way through to the Banner.

How good is the halberd for stagger? I ran that on all my kruber classes before the patch

Did not test the Halberd yet, but I don't have a good one on hand anyway. Saw one Huntsman with Halberd and he managed okay with it.

Just played Legend with Huntsman - ArmingSword (1h sword) works really well with heavy swipe attacks for stagger. Also Bow is in a really good place right now, took the 25% higher crit after Headshot, 7% power increase and 50% Headshot dmg increase together with 20% vs chaos and 10% vs inf and it worked rather well for sniping specials and elites (especially the Besti- and Wargors)
Shields.

I played Merc with Spear and it seems really good, you have the 20% dodge talent that let's you dodge better and one of the alternative attacks works like the Halbard cleave but seems with a little better range and damage (could be wrong tho)

I just find Spear to be better then Halberd, but hey, that might just be my impression

Yeah just found that out, built an unkillable dwarf for my new legend runs. Used to be stupid good before 2.0 and now he's even more broken
