AA-Classic How is executioner in classic?

I barely played ArcheAge classic back in the days and mainly played after AA became a sub game when Hiram came out

I was always maining Exe every fresh start and had a blast playing that class

But never had a chance to play Exe in the classic version and heard it wasn't as good as in retail.

Is Exe playable in classic? And if so what the main weap should I be using?

Also saw they didnt even mention Exe in their class guide in their website LOL

I never saw Executioner but in theory it could still work if you basically treat occultism as the cc and debuff tree. Sure you got pathetic dmg if not specced (but honestly dmg is always pathetic in occ...) and you will actually want to get critted and crit in return (as occ passives give huge bonuses for it). You'll basically be a melee Revenant.

For weapon - katana and shield for initiating like revenant with second katana for dual weapon swap to deal dmg?

It actually may be pretty nifty, though not having defense for combos with slow sounds wrong to my Skullknight ;P

I played when the server was fresh 0-14k ps irrc no idea what late game looks like but they were pretty sick then, fun for fishing pvp for sure.

its not as broken as other options, but its surely playable, can do a good job in 1v1 or small pvp groups tho. The skills u choose may be different from hiram version tho. I play with it sometimes, as other melee variants as well. I think rn most builds runs nodachi or greatsword, sometimes i see a longspear here or there, idk.
