    Its because of staking mostly, but pvp more generally. The gmaul can kill almost instantly, but its high risk high reward since if you don’t manage to get the instant KO you’ll get out dps’d by more usual damage options.

    Because its partially luck based people liked to use it to gamble in the Duel Arena, betting on the outcome.

      PVP was never my area but I looked up the gmaul spec and it makes sense, I just don’t see where the d2h comes in. Is it a ‘more usual damage option’? I thought people used like abyssal whips

        TBH I think people would choose a ddp over a d2h because it has utility to use alongside weapons in other builds later on. They did clearly say using the d2h was a scrub move, though.
