If you've search a bit you would have found what you want, Silverwing Slash + Sun and Moon Slash + Dragon Slash[elite] + For Great Justice is a great and fun combo for sword build.

The search function is disable most of the time so it is hard to find posts. I run the build Aramaki said but you could thow in sever artery for bleeding. Currently i am testing this build:

Tiger Stance (or any IAS <-- increase attack speed)
Server Artery (bleed)
Gash (deep wound)
Power Attack (energy damage)
Shove {E} (knockdown)
Hamstring (cripple)
Sprint (speed movement)
Pruge Condition (protect against conditions especially blind)

I am running this build for Alliance battle so there is no need for Res skill/spell. The hamstring will help with opponent running away and so does Shove. Another negative aspect of this build is energy. I am using Gladiator set so my energy is at 27. You can tweak this build for PvE, take out hamstring for Res spell. If you want pure damage then use Aramaki's combo above. Have fun.

P.S any suggestion on my build?

I'd say, replace Power Attack with Final Thrust, that skill almost counts as an elite.

Sprint/Rush to personal preference, I prefer rush since its free and lasts longer.

Dunno about Shove, a bit of a shame that its an elite, you might as well go for Quivering or Dragon Slash. Tiger or Frenzy, just make sure you got rush/sprint to cancel it with.

Bulls Strike for Hamstring, and Res sig for Purge. AB = bleh.

Sword wise, you should go

Ebon +15% Stance of Fort
Vamp +15% Stance of Fort
Ebon +20% when Hexed of Fort
Vamp +20% when Hexed of Fort

With Hexed and Stance shields.

If you have factions get the Sun and the Moon.

Final thrust is an elite

kovey00 · Jun 28, 2006, 04:59 PM // 16:59

sry, but i dont think final thrust is an elite

kkla · Jun 28, 2006, 05:10 PM // 17:10

Final Thrust is really not an Elite !

It may not be an elite, but is one of the best Sword attacks there is.
Its great for finishing off people who are trying to run away.

Also consider going with sword and high Tactics, low Swordsmanship. You can use a set of skills like Riposte, Deadly Riposte, Shove, etc that are all Tactics based. Not useful in all circumstances, of course, but allows you to specialize in 2 attributes (Str & Tactics).

Also, Final Thrust is especially nice if you have only 1 adrenal skill, so you don't need to worry about it killing all adren.

Raxxman · Jun 30, 2006, 02:22 PM // 14:22

another alternate is to take a util elite like Charge.

Swords have some really good skills that stand alone, and a few that chain well.

Sever/Gash is a good combo causing a deep wound + bleeding, nice for pressure vs pve mobs.

Final is a deadly skill if used right.

It's not always nessesary to use a sword elite. HB n Dragon slash are great adrenal builders but never underestimate the power of charge, helps squishies kite n allows you to move between targets at increased pace.

jummeth · Jun 30, 2006, 06:01 PM // 18:01

nothing too out of place, maybe a KD? although thats not important.

I was gonna point out Res sig but AB etc... bleh..

Mr Jazzy · Jul 01, 2006, 03:52 AM // 03:52

err..knockdown with a sword build? maybe i don't understand...but i don't think there are any sword knockdown skills

hated · Jul 01, 2006, 04:40 AM // 04:40

If you use either of the bull attacks in the strength skills you get knockdowns (provided they run).

Xx Cloud xX · Jul 02, 2006, 03:22 AM // 03:22

I got sun and moon it rocks if people are trying to run.
I always have sprint i should Hamstring to cripple them and perge condisons help alot.

Swords, to me are adrenaline power houses due to the addition of the wonderful dragon slash which must be one of the best new faction elites.
Dragon Slash gives you the ability to pump out higher attack based DPS than possibly axe by causing +40 odd damage as well as paying for half of its cost again (as well as your other attacks).

My personal favourite all time sword build at the moment is Fear Me Dragon

(original name)

Frenzy (or Hex Breaker)
Galrath
Sun and Moon
Dragon Slash {E}
Sprint
Fear Me
Healing Signet
Res

Use frenzy to gain adrenaline quickly initially, using skills when you gain enough. Sun and Moon really helps towards the 10 adrenaline cost of dragon slash due to its double hit and double adrenaline gain. So I basically spam Fear Me, use my attacks, then use dragon slash, use fear me and repeat.

I have enough adrenaline to really spam fear me so nearby foes are kinda lacking in energy which is always good

Hope you like it
