As I have observed, Swords seems to be not on par with the other 2 main weapon that a Warrior use ( Axe and Hammer). Are there good builds for Sword beside Dragon slash.

Is there a Good Sword build out there besides Dragon slash?

Hundred blades, sun and moon strike, and whirlwind attack.

Add in a little SoH and some necro spells and things go boom.

Try going with a Hundred Blades build that would synergize with a MoP Necro:

Swordsmanship 12+1+1
Strength 12+1

"For Great Justice!"
Hundred Blades
IMS (Enraging Charge / Rush / Sprint)
IAS (Flail / Frenzy)
Whirlwind Attack
[utility]
[utility]
[utility]

This should do fine. FGJ! keeps your Adrenaline rolling in so that you can fuel WW to pump out lots of triggers of Hundred Blades which will fuel insane numbers from Mark of Pain (on a Necro in the party, not from you).

Sucks that you don't have Factions, Sun and Moon Slash pumps out lots of damage from Hundred Blades+MoP combo as well - and you're missing "Save Yourselves!", the party buff of the ages. You should be able to find 3 skills to slot in there (Rez, maybe go /E for Grasping Earth to keep mobs close, another attack or two, have fun, mess around with stuff) and wtfpwn everything that you come across.

Mobs will explode. XP and loot will be earned. Hundred Lolz will be known for more than exterminating the Raptor Nestling menace of Riven Earth. And the people rejoiced.

Honestly, Swords are a little bit underpowered when compared to Axes and Hammers. Hundred blades has made swords a little bit more viable now though, so pretty much slap Hundred Blades on your bar and go nuts.

Always thought asking for builds was illegal >.>

Uhm, dragon slash is typically best since you dont have Factions, it doesn't work.

Hammers are best imho. PvP and Hundred blades doesn't combine well, so thats out. If this is for PvP, use Cripslash, if it's for PvE, use HB. Barbs+Mop+HB+Whirlwind attack=sword bomb.

Yes but HB still adds the extra DPS so even in PvP it's still worthy IMO. Though thats not what that mean trolling guy told me last RA match. Ah **** em anyway, I do as i please.

Good point. Until we know what build Spider is using and which campaigns he does have there isn't much we can do.

Not much we can do to help you then. Try to get the best build you can come up with and then let us know what it is so we can give you some feedback and help you.

Try searching the warrior forums for a build or two you can use.
