Oxlade.6931 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 There are many uses of the 1H sword in GW2.I like to experiment and not always follow the meta.But, what classes is viable with sword together with new elite specs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiggles.6823 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I'd imagine lots is viable in open world though harder work in fractals, wvw, and raids or spvp.You could perhaps:Power sword mirage. Power or condi sword weaver. Condi spellbreaker. Power Holosmith. Power soulbeast. Power Renegade. Condi Firebrand.Power deadeye. Basically any class that uses seord will do some damage with sword you just need to trait and gear according to how the damage works on that class for that weapon. Sword on warrior is condi through bleeds. On mesmer it's direct damage.So there you are just gear up and go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justine.6351 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Sword on firebrand feels pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refia Montes.3205 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 All classes except for Necro can use a sword. For viable sword use, Warrior, Guardian, Mesmer, Ele and Revenant use Sword pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwiceDead.1963 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 @Refia Montes.3205 It's plenty viable. Optimal DPS wise? No... But viable? Absolutely.For PvE it makes you pretty much immortal with the right traits, no matter what you face. For WvW/sPvP it makes you pretty damn sustainable (as much as a thief can be, at least), and honestly does pretty well against pretty much anything that isn't Scrapper. It does have a tendency to get completely wrecked by other D/P thieves though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
