1H+Shield [Targo's Hammer vs Trample]

Hello.

Currently playing a physical damage oriented commando.

I am torn between those two. Which one is better?

Right now I only have maxed Vindictive Flame from DEMO, leveling soldier mostly. Can withstand a lot of incoming melee damage so Targo’s hammer could come in handy but Trample has got some nice AOE.

Or maybe getting both?

I intended to get Shieldmaiden first, but it requires a lot of prior points before reaching/completing it. Besides, I am not aiming for a retaliation build specificly.

I still like Targo better then trample. Use Blitz for all your AoE needs. Targo isn’t as OP as it used to be but its damage adds up fast. Shield Maiden looks good on paper but it is a serious investment and by the time i get it i always really feel the lack of killing power i could of used in other constellations.

Thanks Ward. I am alredy using Blitz which is pretty nice to keep foes at bay. I will go Targo’s first. And I agree the investment for Shieldmaiden is too high.
