with for great justice, on and 14+ strength, can u instantly recharge dragon slash every time u use it and just continually deal +40-ish damage?

sever+gash+dragon slash spam, any good?

Neither For Great Justice or Dragon Slash at linked to strength so having +14 in it does nothing. If you meant Swordsmanship, then yes. People either use sever+gash+dragon slash spam or sun+moon/silverwing/dragon slash spam.

I hope to god you meant 14 swordsmanship.

Sun and Moon Slash + Dragon Slash for endless fun.

People tend to forget that you get 1% AP for each point in strength ^_^ you can have 15 in sword in 14 in strength

A good Dragon Slash template is this:

Swords 12+1+3
Strength 9+1
Other attribute 9

1. Galrath Slash
2. Silverwing Slash
3. Dragon Slash
4. Flail
5. FGJ
6. (optional)
7. (optional)
8. Enraging charge

Im giving you a template which is good by itself but incomplete cus I think people should use their own brain instead of stupidly copying builds from others

corrected. Which makes it a little bit more useful than sundering depending on how often you use attack skills.

I should have a quote on this... strength for sword damage is useless. Due to the sword's low damage, the armor penetration bonus goes at 1 point of damage per 2-3 points of strength.

In Dragon spam builds you use an attack skill nearly all the time.

15-22 is more than 6-28, Though I heard you have a higher chance of critical hit with an axe, dunno if that is true, but if you have a critical hit when by chance its 6 or 7 damage you wont get much benefit. My point is that sword is more reliable than axe.

Why don't you try it out yourself instead of asking it?

It isn't based on type of weapon, it is based on weapon attribute. The closer to 16 you come the greater your chances of a crit, regardless of axe, sword, etc.

What you do get is a bigger number when you crit with an axe since the max is 28 rather than 22 for sword.

With such a wide range as with the axe its not allways sure if an attack is critical or not, and I have used axe in the past and I prefer the sword for pure damage dealing
