How well does Awe + Coward Work?

PVE – You move like a dwarf [skill]awe[/skill]

PVP if you use a melee weapon (RA minded response)

[skill]balanced stance[/skill] [skill]drunken blow[/skill] [skill]awe[/skill] Eh? How would you kd them with Drunken Blow?

Eh? How would you kd them with Drunken Blow? I am not sure what I was thinking….. For some reason I was thinking both got knocked down. I will pull it off oops

How well does this combo truely work anwyays

would like some feedback I tried it in the past, it doesn't work as well as stunning strike, you need to think about the fact that most caster enemies run away from you if they are being hit rather than towards you, so when you use coward! you still need to spend some time running towards the KD foe, as KD is only 2 seconds long, the chances are you won't get there in 1.25 seconds to cast awe on them.

In other words you need to be relatively close, and then you have to wait for them to move before you can KD. Also, you need to remember you could be in the middle of an attack skill animation when they move, which would mean you don't cast awe immediately after a KD (unless you press escape then hit the awe key quickly).

Anyway, yes it does work, but it involves a lot more skill than hitting both buttons to get it to work successfully a large percentage of the time. It certainly has advantages over daze attacks, as it works if you are blinded & ignores blocking. (but you won't get the main advantage of daze if you can't hit the target anyway).

[edit - This is all PvP related]

Except you also have spears.

Anyway, if you're willing to use up an Elite slot for a dazed combo, why not just use Skull Crack?? Now, you have 7 slots left. Skull Crack is a melee attack, won't work with spears.
