YOUR OPINION? What is the BEST "Inherent" Sword Mod? What ADD'L upgrades do you use? - Guild Wars Forums

bobmcclune · Nov 08, 2005, 07:45 PM // 19:45

I am thinking of the ideal sword...I just got the 3/1 Vampiric Hilt last night, but I am having a dilema on what to use in addition to it.

I am wondering if:

A. The +5 Pommel of Defense or +30 Pommel of Fortitude is better
B. Which 15% Inherent MOD is the right to build this on...?

Also YOUR OPINION...?

What is the Best Skin...

A: +5 Defense vs +30 Fortitude:

B: My personal choice would be while in a stance, because most of the time Warriors are in a stance anyway.

C: The Long Sword is a pretty nice skin.

A: I'd go with +5 Armor, cheaper, usually better.
B: I like 15%>50%
C: Personal Taste. I like Long swords and Wingblade swords.

A. +5 armor generally suits me better
B. It varies, often 15% while enchanted, as its easy to maintain against most groups, but of course, in areas with lots of shatter'ers, while in a stance usually.
C. Longswords and Wingblades from me as well.

I use the crafted sword from Drokars with +15%>50 and +7AR against elemental and I have one of each of the following... zealous or a +3 vamp that I can switch between during battle.

Im currently looking at the differences between +5AR overall and the +7AR offered for meele and spell protection.

+5 armor,20%below 50 and customised. i just luv the flamberge then the fellblade.theyre just so dark looking

The long sword that can be crafted in Droks...is this a GOLD/PURPLE/BLUE/WHITE sword?

Argentus · Nov 09, 2005, 01:56 PM // 13:56

The Long Sword you can have crafted at Droknar's Forge is a blue item.

bobmcclune · Nov 09, 2005, 02:23 PM // 14:23

thanks! What are all of the possible inherent mods for this sword? I might as well build the sword until I am further along. I have the vampiric 3/1 hilt and the +3 armor to go along with it...

Can you do any of the max inherent upgrades or is there a short list of what you can put on the sword?

Adambomb · Nov 09, 2005, 02:42 PM // 14:42

I love the long sword... it is awesome...

Anyways, I haven't yet got the ideal sword I'm looking for because as we all know, gold doesn't grow on trees... some Griffon farming should sort that problem out... hehe....

My ideal sword when I can afford the upgrades will be:

Armour + 5 [Already nabbed this]
15%^50 while enchanted / stance

I'm a W/Mo and generally I always have some form of enchantment on me.... Mending usually. However I wouldn't mind a stance one...

Do 15^50 mods come without limitation, like its in effect all the time?

Thanks,

-Adam

My warrior uses the ugly black longsword found on the desert collector just outside of Dunes of Despair. It has +15% dmg while enchanted, and can be obtained for only 5 Jade Mandibles. I almost always have an enchantment on me as well, so this is the best option for me. I carry about five of these swords, all with different mods, but the one common mod I use on all of them is the +5 Defense. It makes a noticeable difference while tanking, and I find it far superior to the +30 (or lower) Health mods. Health is fleeting, but Defense is a constant benefit.
