Best Sword

Would someone please let me know what the "Best Sword" is in the game. Alot of warrior builds say "best sword" but what is that.??

A wepon rundown would be nice. Just like the rune and armor listing.

There are no 'uber' weapons in GW. So I wouldn't say there is any 'best sword' but there are 'good' swords.

literally the best sword you come across and have upgraded to you

not a specific master sword by name

While it's what most would say, my money's on the dragon sword.

It affords you pure elemental damage and still gives you room for two more upgrades.

TY for an actual answer. Not really looking for an Uber sword just the better sword names. So that i know what to look for.

its that firey sword you see people carying around incase you wanted to be able to spot it... those are dragon swords

It's the sword that Rurik carries.

...now if only he'd drop when it died (oh so very often).

You mean when he gets his head wacked off.

It does seem like the Dragon Sword is the most popular sword of the game, at least once you start getting to the Lion's Arch. Luckily, I found myself a nice rare Dragon Sword whilst drake hunting right at the end of the event, so next event I'll have to check it out and see how much I can sell that bad boy for

I'm Broke but I would love to try it. Or at least see it. That would be real great.......

Dragon swords look nice but aren't actually any better than any other sword. What "best sword" means is a sword that's at maximum damage, with a max modifier, and max upgrades that best suits your build. There are a lot of mods and upgrades and there are a lot of ways to take advantage of them so it really varies not just from build to build but from person to person.

Personally, I look for +weapon speed with Zealous, or +dmg. But you want them on a sword that does that 16~22 maximum damage or whatever it is these days.

Believe that swords top out at 15-22 (min-max) as of last beta.

And yes, having mods that correlate with one's build type is always best.

And Dragon swords don't always have a max 22 dmg, so they aren't always the "best sword" out there. Any sword with a max of 22 dmg and some nice stats (either found on or you added yourself with upgrades) is what you really want when you get to high lvl.

I think that Dragon's Sword that was dropped is at max damage then, from what I remember at least. Finding out all of this stuff has made this day a great day, even as I continue suffering from my lose of sleep due to too much playing time on Guild Wars last weekend.

But yeah, any sword with the maxed damage could be considered the best, as long as you have a nice hilt to add and customize it. Everything depends on what you like, there's a lot of freedom to create your "best" sword.

OK this has been very informative. Now is thier a hilt and pommel listing.???
So that one can best know what to look for when "Creating" there best sword.

Upgraded? You can upgrade? other than the 20% extra D from customization?

hilt

pommel

Not all Dragons swords are that great ....
For instance, I found a dragon sword that was white (yes, not a rare) ... it was still the max damage however.

Another dragon sword I found only did elemental damage. (sure it can be upgraded), but I just wanted to emphasise the fact that some dragon swords, are actually quite ordinary... However, when it comes to looks, the dragon sword is the "sword of choice".

On another note, some dragon swords can have great stats ... But yes, there are other swords that do the same damage range and can have great attributes.

Personally, the Vampiric swords (life steal) are a good option as are the Zealot modifications (+1 energy per hit -1 regen). Anything with + damage (preferably without the while health is below 50%).

Ok Back to the original question.

Can anyone put together a listing of the swords and their attribuites.?

And the pommels and hilts and their attribuites.?

I have seen people walking around with a flaming sword, like Rurik's, what is that, and how much on average do they cost?

Thanks.
