Exactly, although I'd wager over the course of the run Cyclone does more total dmg output then the rest of the skills combined. I counted up in my one screenshot, one swipe of cyclone did a total of 389 dmg. For each cyclone you get one swipe of Cleave, Pen, Exec each, which won't come to anywhere near 389 total dmg. (that'd have to be an AVERAGE hit of 129 dmg each)

In my world, Cyclone IS used for damage, the adrenaline is just cake. Once you clear the mouth though..its primary use is adrenal gain.

.............. I just died in a FoW Beach run, and I believe I have found the reasoning behind it:




Is this new or have I just been lucky enough to never get interupted before?

Yep they've always used Savage Shot you must of left your Healing Sig too late.

And why do you always cover up your build?

I post on both this site and my guild site, and sadly, there are some little pricks in my guild who will only ever play with a build that is fed to them. I don't like giving them my builds because sadly, they're the type of kids who had their first character run right to Droks then power leveled. If they had played the game and I felt them worthy of soloing FoW, I'd give it too them. But I feel that some people don't deserve it and so I won't give it.

I can tell you my build if you want, lol, it's like Racthoh's build but with W/Me and no elite skills.

Reporting that since the last patch, ACSs will use Healing Spring even when you are engaged with them. I think sword builds just became markedly inferior to axe builds.

Yes.
On a second note, the defense isn't the only thing I use it for. I use a Stance CCS and a 15% Stance Collector Sword, so with Phys Resistance that is [basicly] +15% always no conditons and +45/-2 always.

Hahahaha I just try to maximize the value of my assets whenever possible. XD And you're not the only one well off enough to not have to deal with trading with other players most of the time.

Just finished a run and had no problems with this "savage shot" issue.

Never had problems with Savage Shot either.. Except when trying to cast spells. They will try to interrupt those.

Also, I thought I'd post my reward so far from this run:


Not from one run though

You know, Anet should really nerf this before triple chop and cyclone / quivering strike makes this build 1000x too strong

Quivering strike = faction elite, +42 damage, 4 strikes of adren. If it is blocked you are dazed.

I doubt it'll be used with Triple Chop, then. BTW, is that 4 strikes to use or you gain four strikes when it hits?

If anyone is interested in trying this build, I have four +15% while in a stance Collector Swords I could give away. Gimme a PM on here including your IGN and I'll whisper you when I'm not busy. Don't need them wasting space anymore. -.-

It's a sword elite, not axe.
