Im not done with the game yet, but i a need to know what 1 skill to add to my bar should be...

Heres by attribute points:

Str: 11 (10+1)
Sword:10
Tactics:10

I've done the first +15 attributes quest and after i do the second one i plan to have 11 base strength.

Heres by bar:

Spring (Hamstring in PvP)
Power Attack (seaking blade in PvP)
Distracting Blow
Sever Artery
Gash
Healing Signet
Resurrection Signet

As you can see that only 7 skills, I'm making this thread to to see what to put into the last slot. I'm thinking of "Watch Yourself!", "Fear Me!", Galrath Slash, Bonnetti's Defense, or even Savage Slash, anyway I'm open to contructive criticism.

Oh and please note that i play with a friend (E/Me) practically every session, so far we've done pretty well, but i've always been perplexed by that one skill slot.

Try Final Thrust.

Final Thrust was another viable option, but i really don't like how it drains all your adrenaline. I'll try it out again tonight but i'm afraid my opinion will remain the same. Meanwhile are there any other suggestions for that one slot, or arguments in favor or against Final Thrust, i'm up fom pretty much anything.

for pve, you should use at least a couple of stances. The only thing in there from tactics is healing signet. those stances will save your but a lot of times (unless you're up against an enemy with wild blow).

The most common combo for sword wars is to go sever > gash > final. It's probably the most efficient, skill slot wise, and can be really effective. Gash is only useful when the target is bleeding, but since sever only takes 4 adren, that's easy enough to do, and despite final taking away all your adrenaline, it's a great finisher, especially because you can save your elite slot for something like hundred blades, which can replenish adrenaline quickly in the right situations, and is pretty spammable. In fact, now that I see you don't have an elite, hundred blades is my suggestion if you're set against final thrust.

Alright, i'll stick with final thrust and try a couple of stances (shield stance looks good in pve). I don't have Hundred Blades yet, can anyone tell me where to get it?

100 blades can be aquired at the end of the game. sad, yes. But for an elite, it really stinks. This is, compared to the axe aoe, cyclone axe, which isn't elite but does a full 360 degree circle as opposed to 100 blade's arc. I personally think glad defense is a great elite in pve, but that really depends on your build and your secondary prof.

My secondary profession is Ranger, I've been thinking and maybe Antidote Signet should be in that place (it cures blindness, disease and poison), what do you all think?
