100 Blades is terrible. Two other warriors and myself who captured the skill at the end were like WTF?!11!!!11 (with the AOL translation enabled). All the hype and we get this crap? And this thing is an elite too?

100 blades useless? Think about it some more. Look through the necro skills while you do it.

Which necro spell are you referring to?

100 Blades is far from useless in PvP. There aren't many warrior elites that I would rather use in it's stead. For 5 mana, clumps of people can stand near each other and give me free adrenaline.

But wouldn't cyclone axe do the job better, as the attack hits everything around you instead of just foes next to your target? Oh.. and it's not an elite.

Sorry but axe > sword.

Okay look. No matter what, Hundred Blades, if used correctly, can build a ton of adr. Also, its not a sword skill, just a "no attribute" skill, so you should be able to use it with an axe.

But yeah. I find other 1337s like Defy Pain, Battle Rage, Gladiator's Defense, and Warrior's Endurance much more useful. Especially Defy Pain (almost killed him... almost killed him... WTF his health randomly doubled???).

Hundred Blades and Barrage were the skills I really wanted ever since I started playing. I tried my hardest to get to Fisherman's Haven in the two betas I played, but missed it by a little... that was where Barrage was. I get there after release.
"WTF?! WHERE'S BARRAGE?!"
"I hate you Markis. You betray me and then you have my skill. I'm marching to the Shiverpeaks just to kill YOU, forget fighting the White Mantle. DIE!"

And Hundred Blades, I had it in the betas. It was available right in Post Searing Ascalon city. Was a great skill. Wasn't elite.
Release came, my sword warrior was bereft of his favourite skill. I hate you ANet.

And then I found out that one of the best PvE skills is available only in the last (LAST) mission. WTF?
Then I heard about Hatemonger. Ooh Goody he's in the Breach! That's easy to get to! So I take my level 20 BACK to Ascalon and sit there with a henchie letting Hatemonger hack and slash at the both of us for 20 minutes. What do I get? Nothing.

Prince rurik, last boss of the last mission of the game.

For that reason, 100 blades should be the elite of the elites

Besides, the name of this skill is cool

If it wasn't an elite anymore, then IW mesmers would be too good.

Ahh... the memories.

Then they mind as well make cyclone axe elite if that is the case. Flurry while they are at it also.

100 blades is a crap elite. It is not even worth elite-hood. Cyclone axe is better than it. It adds damage and hits everyone around you for the same cost. Sword is deprived of usefull elites. Look at axe, 2 powerfull elites.
