100 Blades - does it require swordsmanship? - Guild Wars Forums

bobmcclune · Dec 14, 2005, 07:54 PM // 19:54

Recently I have completed the game with my Warrior...I capped 100 blades off of "non-spoiler" boss. Now I am trying a few solo builds and I was wondering does the damage caused by 100 blades differ depending on the amount of attribute points you have in swordsmanship?

I am looking to use a req 3 or less sword...giving only the minimum requirement to wield that sword. Will 100 blades be affected by this?

The skill itself is not linked to any attribute, so I would say that damage done is dependent on damage value of sword and attribute level in swordsmanship, just like any other non-skill attack.

Hundred blades does no damage on its own - it just increases the attack speed/area of your sword. So, if your sword does minimum damage (because of not meeting the requirement), then it won't change it - it will just change the number of times you hit your opponents.

By the way - the skill IS linked to swordsmanship, but I am unaware as to how the attribute impacts your attack speed under the skill.

what does a shocking plasma blade look like, any special look ?

capblueberry · Dec 15, 2005, 05:09 PM // 17:09

The higher swordsmanship you have the higher damage you inlict, so if you're using a low req. sword then the swordsmanship attribute will probably b lower thus you inflict less damage
