Default Crippling Slash now causes Bleeding!

Bring [skill]Crippling Slash[/skill] and [skill]Gash[/skill] for 3 conditions, including a snare, on 2 hits. FTW!

Now I don't have to lug around that bloody Sever just to get a DW on someone... (yes - Sever IS useless by itself)

Now... what to do with the free skill slot?
Mending?

Because Warriors don't have any viable and effective methods of poisoning a target?

If you suggest Apply Poison I will kill a puppy.

You obviously don't see the synergy of this skill with Gash. An ideal PvP build:

[skill]Crippling Slash[/skill][skill]Gash[/skill][skill]Sun and Moon Slash[/skill][skill]Final Thrust[/skill][skill]Frenzy[/skill][skill]Rush[/skill][skill]Healing Signet[/skill][skill]Resurrection Signet[/skill]

Swordsmanship: 12+1+1
Strength: 8+1
Tactics: 10+1

Can be played around with, though. I was wondering, since Crippled is 50% slower, can you possibly use Flail instead of Frenzy? I feel like I'm gonna get flamed, but just answer xD

I have found [skill]Dash[/skill] to work a lot better with frenzy than rush, since it has a fast recharge, and does not require adrenaline before you have a cancel stance ready.

I also do not think flail would be a good option since after the spike, or you would need to switch targets for whatever reason, the slowdown is just too much of a drawback.

sure they can, at least in a scrimmage situation, since you need to hit them first.

In a flagstand battle RC is going to clean everyone up unless you're applying a lot of conditions around (such as bringing a ranger) in which case sig malice would be good already.

But with so many warrior skills to pick, just make the midline remove blinds. That's what they're there for anyway, mirite?

I still like the idea of mending touch as opposed to sig of malice (mainly since you need to hit them for the sig to work, and if you're blind you can't hit )

You do lose out on dash though...=(

Well, it's your choice... you can bring Mending Touch and Sprint or you can bring Signte of Malice and Dash xD. Since, I don't want to use Frenzy every 20 seconds, I choose the second one! Blind can be a problem, but as long as you can get CripSlash off, its 2 removals xD. ur choice, again.
