I think I remember skilling up to 220ish in Kuftal on Robber crabs as /BST

edit: Sorry, it was the Tree... but still /BST

Besieged is a good way to skill up/cap uncapped weapons.

Edited. Mamool and Lamia have such absurd AoE damage that it makes it not worthwhile to skill up unless you've got someone else curing you. You'd get more out of soloing Crabs than you would with those two. Trolls are nice because they attack slow and very few have AoE attacks.

Lamia are annoying indeed, but with Barfira, stoneskin and Shell V the ground bursts from the mamool become quite easy to survive.
And honestly, whms in besieged even when meleeing shouldn't have a hard time surviving either.

[edit]
To keep things on topic a little:

Sorry no Mjollnir yet, working on it and will hopefully be around stage 4 by the end of the year.
B.Jad has been replaced by a Purgatory mace for now but below between spoilers there's my melee TP setup.

I'd say it's a complete waste of time.

Black halo - If you like to be completely done with your jobs, i'd suggest getting it. You can use it to make light with other whms though.

Rev mail is a nice piece for TP and not that bad of a mob to take down. Spectacles aren't a bad option if you don't want to get a chiv chain or pcc for your neck.

If you take being a dd whm seriously, it wouldn't be a bad idea to put merits into club skill which also helps ur acc. I geared up for whm melee and ive had 2 whm cannons in 2 years lol. Lucky most of the gear transfers over to your other melee jobs.
 
Sweet.

Which one of you tricked out WHMs wants to face my RDM in a parse of DD mage gimpery? Always wanted to try that.

We'd just have to find four suckers people willing to do it. Bird camp would be ideal I think. Optimally the BRD would be throwing on a madrigal too, but that might be asking too much, lol.

Sorry but I decline.
As we whms would have a major advantage on bones with our clubs, your joytoy and daggers with their piercing capabilities would have a major advantage on the colibri.
So no, not fair game.

What do the Whm's use for weapons? I dream of Kclub, but I imagine Hexa Strike to be weak. Kclub / Purgatory if you want to zerg with enhancing hexa at the same time... but if your going for damage output?

I know first and foremost it's Str that affects a WS and then the modifiers. Does the DMG of a weapon affect the weapon skill as well?

Yes the base DMG effects the WS so no you wouldn't want to main hand Kclub. You also wont be zerging anything on WHM, sure melee WHM might be fun, but there's a time and a place for it.

^
Like any other weapon type the weapon skill damage is indeed also based on the base damage of the weapon used for the WS.
Mainhanding a K-club would only work well if you sub /drk and top Hexa with a souleater.

Let me correct you, whm melee is fun!
However you are correct, whm melee is for fun mainly.

As for me, my whm/nin weap combo is a Purg. main and offhanding a prudence.
