Crude Swing Question - Guild Wars Forums

Crude Swing
Description: Attack all adjacent foes. Each foe you hit is struck for 1-8 more damage. This action is easily interrupted.

If I use crude swing and I hit more than one enemy would I get more than 1 strike of adrenaline? If I hit two enemies would I get 2 strikes of adrenaline?

Apply Poison
Description: For 12 seconds, enemies struck by your physical attacks become poisoned for 3-13 seconds.

Also if I use apply poison first (from ranger wildrness ) would that affect all enemies when I hit them with crude swing?

Yes to both. Skills that deal multiple strikes, like Hundred Blades, Barrage, and Cyclone Axe (much better versions of Crude Swing, by the way) deal a blow to each and every enemy. That means you get adrenaline for each strike, you add the effects of any prep for each strike, you get any damage adds, for that matter, from Conjure to Judge's Insight to Apply Poison. However, you also can get hammered by things like Empathy or other skills that punish you "on attack", too (Want some fun? Use Hundred Blades on a pack of enemies when you're hexed with Empathy. They'll be peeling you off the floor...).

Thanks.

I've noticed that. At least Hundred Blades is Elite, so I guess it should be slightly better. I think that Cyclone Axe should have been the same as Crude Swing. Maybe Crude swing could do more damage so that it compensates for the interruption. +2 Damage difference looks low if taking into account that it recharges 1 sec later and there is always the chance to get interrupted.

old topic, I know, but I would like to know; where can get Crude Swing?

So far, i havent' seen it for doing a quest, or from a skill merchant...
