Curse

I've been starting to see more and more teams packing the PvE king [skill]Dragon Slash[/skill] when GvGing, they'll typically put it on the second warrior (first typically being shock and sometimes rend axe). Now I can understand that it's a insane adrenaline and DPS engine when it works but I always thought that the high amount of blocking in the meta would make DSlash sub-optimal?

What are your opinions on this? I haven't seen it even come close to replacing Eviscerate the the warrior PvP elite but I did find it curious that it would actually see play considering how fragile it is in the current environment.

used on a split warrior for NPC's (at least that is what we did for some matches)

I don't understand why people would use it.

I saw [StS] use it in all the games I saw them play, granted it was only a few but they definiently had it.

It's not any good, and I personally don't think sword has been good in the balanced meta since Nightfall. If you want to go sword, cripslash is far superior in terms of usefulness and even DPS assuming your targets aren't practice dummies.

I think euro teams are trying it out because its something new-ish and mildly exciting; a nice break from eviscerate.

That's my guess, then the dps is pretty wicked.

Coward sword is pretty gross, especially with FGJ in the mix. Kite and get knock locked or stand still while you get frenzied in the face.

I no reed Sword Mastry neware?

As for Dragon Slash... I guess it's just an adren-->DPS machine. Without the engine up and running smoothly the build seems quite susceptible to Total Failure syndrome.
