Soulbrew.7165 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Hey guysI've been seeing a lot of topics about how sword is weak and stuff, but when I am playing with it feels like the most powerful weapon to do things (I am playing with kinda hybrid stats, I have 700 condi dmg and 2,3k power)I don't know if open world still don't count to anything, but why this isnt used for raids and fractal? It does low damage there? It lacks mobility when bosses are running?I really hate to use staff, so when I see thats the only viable way to do raids and fractals, its kinda demotivating.

Theros.1390 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Hi,I do play condi sword, and my average DPS on Golem is 31-33K. For sure, the Sword will never be as good as the staff for damages, but still, you can do the job with it (with a good rotation, as always).

Bladestrom.6425 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 pve is irrelevant you can do any build and its fine apart from instances with certain types of people who confuse optimal with viable. In pvp sword has issues in that its a bruiser with 130 range with non competitive dmg, its playable, but you need to have a very high skill level to eek the most out of the build in comparison to other professions.

(and will be more with the next balance patch incoming) You just have to know how to play it. I admit that you have to do more than other professions, to reach the same result, but it has been always like that with the ele. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ye it may be, range with sword 3 is an issue, fix that for example and the build could settle in a good place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retsuko.2035 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 imo, issue with sword in pvp is the "difficulty" in landing your hits. Some skills range and AoE radius are too small. Opponents simply need to "outrun" your range basically. We can close the gap, but there is a limit to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jski.6180 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 It dose not fit weaver if it was on tempest or core with out duel skills but its 3ed core skill it would be far better.Its the 1 skills being a chane attks that dose not fit a fast swaping class like weaver if it was a channeled attk it would work much better but sadly you must sit in an atument and spam 1 for 3? sec to get its full effect.130 ranged sux but you can make that work you cant make the chane attk work with such low cd on swaps.Sword / WH tempest would be unbelievably strong i must say for support and dmg.
