my 1st character that I ever made for pvp still works and is a hard hitting chiv/bush axer.
110 anat
90 bush
80 chiv
90 heal
120 swds
115 parry(will add 5 more now that my char is 48mos)
110 tactics

i use a quick and hard hitting ornate axe/hatchet/cleaver combo. this character is great for spawning and can stay alive in most situations. the axe i have has all 3 leeches over 40% ssi 25, di 48, and 1 hit spell(been a while since i looked at it) hatchet has 2 leeches, ssi, di, fc1, hit spell. no resist, but heals pretty quick and usually fights through the damage. use petals and pots when needed.

i have used this character through every patch in the last 3 years and it still survived all the gimp templates through the ages, minus the AI/WOD BS. Nobody survived that crap.
