thos r all basically most of the sword builds that would work best the only thing that i would change is to add for great justice in there + frenzy because sword skills have use alot of adenaline and those 2 skills together will get u those skills to regen really quickly that is what i found to work the most if u are going to kill lots of enemies

also only use final thrust if the enemie has low health because it hits harder when they have less than 50% health also dont use it that much because it drains all of ur adenaline when u can use it on something else

I'm suprised no one has chipped in the typical "Frenzy omgz0rs double damage" comments yet. People must be learning :P

I thought Tiger's was superior to Frenzy, but frenzy doesn't cost anything to use and has a short downtime. Maybe that's why...

Frenzy allows you to attack 33% faster for 8 seconds no matter what, costing you 5 energy. It recharges in 4 seconds. As mentioned, you receive double damage while using this stance. So, it does cost you something to use it.

Tiger's Stance allows you to attack 33% for 4..9 seconds and ends when your attacks fail to hit. It recharges in 20 seconds, but also only costs 5 energy.

Now, Tiger's Stance is only worth your while, IMO, if you have a lot of attribute points in strength. 12-13 strength gets you at least 9 seconds, GuildWiki is telling me 10 seconds is possible with 14-16 strength. 9-11 strength gives you faster attacking for 8 seconds. Since my builds usually have a lot in strength, I prefer to use Tiger's Stance. The recharge length doesn't bother me since my builds usually are high in adrenaline and I really only need this skill to get my adrenaline up faster in the beginning of battle.

Plus, I don't take double damage while using the skill. I know, I know. It's cancellable, but why should I bring 2 skills when this one skill is just as effective.

But that's just my own personal reasoning.

For PvE, I agree. I disagree strongly for PvP, where there will be Wards, Aegis, Guardian spam, Blind... Tiger Stance is pretty much a waste of energy.

I also use a Dragon Slash build, though mine is a little different

You can go either 16 Sword, 13 Str, and rest in Beast Mastery; or you can go 16 Sword, 9 Str, and 10 Beast Mastery.

Tiger Stance
Silverwing Slash
Galrath Slash
Dragon Slash {E}
For Great Justice
Comfort Animal
Charm Animal
Res Signet

I know this isn't the best build out there, but it is very fun

P.S. I use Kanaxai's Edge, an Exalted Aegis, and Gladiators Armor; though you can use Sentinels Armor if you decide to put 13 points in Strength.
