I have yet to cap hundred blades, but they both are very important to me. If i was to say go ettin farming, i can use galrath, silverwing, and dragon slash, combined with "For Great Justice", im constantly using attack skills. But say I was using a Live Vicariously/Vigerous Spirit build, Hundred Baldes+Sun and Moon slash can result in gaining lots of health. Whoohoo

They are both great skills in thier own but you are asking more of a farming question so I would go look into the farming forum.

Hmm...Dragon Slash is better overall, but if it's damage you're after, I would go W/Rt and use Splinter Weapon + Hundred Blades. But of course, it's easily outdone by Triple Chop and Cyclone Axe...So if you're going sword, Dragon Slash is better.

Id suggest DS over HB for normal pve any day. The use of For Great Justice and Flail (with a cancel stance) generates phenomenal amounts of dmg. Sure you arent generating area effect damage but you are able to kill level 20+ casters in 3-4 seconds. Warriors take a second or two longer at most.

If you compare how quickly you can tear through multiple opponents one after the other to what you could do to multiple opponents with HB you will realize that HB is not in the same league as a good DS build.

Of course the effect of health gain froma vampiric weapon with HB is nice as is the benefit of various skils that give you health for attacking. On the other hand inn general your party will benefit more from you killing off the opposition quickly than from an increase in a warriors defensive capabilities. Let your monk heal you. You kill things.

On a side note recent changes to Lions comfort are such that it can be very effective as a self heal for those situations where you really need one. The fact that it now gives you adrenaline back when it is used makes it almost spammable!

Hope this is helpful.

PS: remember that the best build is the one you enjoy playing the most. If you really like HB and it gets things done for you...enjoy it!!!! cookie cutter builds may very well be extremely effective but this is a game and is meant ot be fun.

Yeah we know, but you don't have to bump up a 1.5 yrs old thread to make this point. Back then, there isn't pve skills to take into consideration. With pve skills like "Save Yourselves!", brawling headbutt (+steelfang slash), the difference between the 2 elites is widen.

Hundred blades is a good skill as it is, but I wouldn't be outraged if it got a buff ^^. Its not really that comparable with Dragon Slash, theyare completely different skills. Dragon slash can keep the adrenaline pumping, only so long as you have an endless supply of foes, and lets not forget it huge original adrenaline cost.
Hundred Blades is great to, if you wanted to run it with "Save Yourselves!" it powers it quite well as you can get it up striaght away (not having to charge adrenaline).
And lets not forget that under "For Great Justice!" you only need to hit 2 foes to get an instant 8 adrenline with Hundred Blades, and thats every 6 seconds, which is fine by me.

As I said earlier they arer different skills, I perfer to use HB as I cant be bothere dot charge 10 adrenaline to start my adrenaline chain off .

Fix'd.

Dragon Slash > Hundred Blades, hands down.
With Flail you have "Save Youselves!" instacharged every second, and you have ~80 DPS.

Rhanoct is baed

MasterSasori · Mar 28, 2008, 08:34 PM // 20:34

Hundred blades is one of the worst Warrior elites. Dslash doesn't take nearly as long as you think to charge up, especially with flail, which you should definitely be running in PvE.

I don't think there's any contest, unless you don't own Factions... Cripslash just doesn't pull its weight in PvE (but what else would you run?).

Dragon Slash any day 100 Blades needs a buff like ' Attacks Target Foe and all Adjacent Foe and Deals +10..30 Damage' we can hope till then Dragon Slash best sword elite.

Sir Pandra Pierva · Mar 29, 2008, 03:05 PM // 15:05

if they buffed hundred blades that would be awsome. but still not even close to par with a d-slasher
