Great Weapon Fighting in
Sword Coast Legends is an
Ability tree used by
Paladins and
Fighters. Great Weapon Fighting employs the use of extremely large and powerful weapons, most of which must be wielded with two hands. While the attacks of Great Weapons can be slower, nothing can match their sheer power, range, and striking force.
