For PvP... Axes > Swords. Evis + Exe gets kills, and nothing the sword does really shines after you leave AB/RA.

Ahh... thank you kindly!

I was looking through my old old items from '05, and found some 15-22 sword w/ req 8... is that rare now?

Also, are shield handles not applicable to Prophecies/Factions shields?

sorry alex, but triple chop/cyclone/whirlwind beats a DS bar.

and yeah, that req 8 is pretty rare, better give it to me for safe keeping.

I've run frenzy through every single campaign, exceptions being HM and a couple dungeons in EotN.

Thanks for the input.

Another question - is adrenaline generated on a per-hit basis? Do skills like sun and moon slash or 100 blades generate adrenaline based upon each enemy hit?

Also, how much extra armor equates to the '-3 damage' that a knight's insignia grants? Is it equal to the +10 AL from other insignias?

-3 dmg is only for physical dmg so it wont work with elemental dmg.

Soldier's Stance would be good if it wasn't an elite, but since it's an elite it's pretty much a waste of your elite slot.

Triple Chop benefits from on-hit effects like Splinter Weapon or Great Dwarf Weapon, but a Barrage ranger works better than a Triple Chop warrior.
