Default Favourite Sword Elite

i got curious over the past few days and wondered what the overall favourite sword elite was.

[Hundred Blades]: 7
[Dragon Slash]: 8
[Quivering Blade]: 0
[Crippling Slash]: 3

For me it has to be Dragon Slash

post your thoughts

and we are talking PvE

Hm i dont use sword much, but i preffere dragon, wouldnt mind the adr being about 8 though, and maybe lessen the adr gain to counteract the adr cost lowering.

Axe ftw.

Hundred Blades. Even if you're blind it procs, on top of that throw in Splinter Weapon or Mark of Pain and things just die, plain and simple. Screw DS and SY in HM, Hundred Blades eats everything so fast you don't need it.

If you're going by efficiency, DSlash wins, no argument. If not, I find Cripslash to be fun aswell.

100 blades here.

I used to run quivering a lot, and I still run DS, but most of the time I'm running 100 blades.

[Dragon Slash] for sure.
But well, sometimes when I feel like mixing it up I go with [Hundred Blades].

[coward] is ftw :P
well, not really a *sword* elite but it's mostly used on sword bars, so...

anyway from those elites [crippling slash] is the only one that's really viable for serious PvP. for PvE it's either [hundred blades] for massive AoE damage or [dragon slash] for single target DPS and constant [save yourselves] spam

Honestly when I PvE warrior, I either use axe or hammer because they're far more fun to me than a sword, so when I play a sword build I do it for lulz. I run junk like [[Rage of the Ntouka] and [[Flourish] for sheer awesomeness.

If we're talking about PvE effectiveness, it's either Hundred Blades or Dragon Slash. The other two just can't compete. Crip Slash is the only legitimate one for PvP.

Are we talking PvE or PvP?

For PvE, it's obviously [dragon slash].

For PvP, I don't think you want a sword elite at all.

Cripslash for PvP
D-Slash for Hard Mode PvE
Hundred Blades for farming and easy mode PvE

No love for Q-blade....
