Archive talk:D/W EDA Sword Dervish

yes it is serious. Frostels 22:54, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, I can tell... it does almost 100 points of damage just from the bonus from EDA and the bonus damage from gash, + bleeding and deepwound... not counting the regular sword damage as well... plus it has cripple, blind, and blind removal too. looks fun Lania Elderfire 23:03, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
 * You so evil, Fros. Karate [[File:KJ for sig.png]] Jesus  23:52, 21 February 2011  (UTC)
 * could get to the 8 or 9 breakpoint in mysticism, not that energy is a big deal-- Relyk  talk  01:04, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
 * This build looks quite sexy to me. Smity Smitington 01:08, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I concur the sexyness. maybe go 12+1+1 earth, 10 sword, 8+1 myst. --Saxon 01:11, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Isn't the bonus damage the same as a conjure? Why is this better than, say, a conjure warrior? Orphus 01:18, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Warriors are a lot cleaner, ie they do not spread massive stds like this. Also, ims and ias at the same time plus anti kd says hi. Smity Smitington 01:33, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I saw them run on obs a couple of days back. This thing is lineback faggotry at its best and the unblockability and retarded +damage makes for mean ass spikes. --Tyris 01:41, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
 * The main advantage over the conjure wars is twin moon sweep basically. Frostels 07:23, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
 * dont have to worry about it getting stripped either-- Relyk  talk  07:41, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Love the bar compression in this build, and the OP blind effect with dual strike attacks. It's Bsurge+Conjure sin rolled into one. Minion  10:27, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Is there an ebon sword mod merch somewhere? I've been trying to find one for days to try this out. --Saxon  12:47, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
 * No, you either have to salvage or buy from other players.  Lania Elderfire 16:09, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Wow. First time I've seen a /w use a sword and become meta. Zyke 03:37, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I had the same thought when i saw the meta, i knew it was good from update, but didn't expect that. lol.  Akio _Ka  t  suragi   Akio_Katsuragi_Sig2.jpg 07:02, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I was about to say R/W, but then I think there was only ever axe and hammer. Strange day indeed. This update really opened up a whole lot of overpowered shit, like PR on steroids and stuff. -- Jai . -  03:00, March 2 2011 (UTC)

Aura Slicer is a scythe attack. 62.131.122.68 19:26, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
 * It's a melee attack, silly. PvX just isn't updated yet. Karate [[File:KJ for sig.png]] Jesus  19:40, 5 March 2011  (UTC)
 * No HA tag?--Haseo 20:28, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
 * In variants there is IMS for AB/CM but fleeting stability is already a good IMS. Wouldn't it be better to list mystic regeneration? because in AB/CM and RA to having a selfheal is kinda important imho. this build works in PvE to btw, blind, crippling, bleeding, deep wound, craked armor, blind removal, IMS, IAS, good damage (exept against monsters who are resistant to earth) is fun in PvE to --Rhonin Soren 12:22, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
 * A bad pug team asked me to play EDA in HA but they could not ping me the build they wanted so they could have meant EDA scythe. Scythe may be better in HA so that you can attack their balls.--War Pig5 03:53, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

Hold up...
"PVP Strength Shields of Fortitude with +10AL vs X damage as well as -20% Cripple and Blind. The reason you use PVP Strength Shields is that, unlike any other shield in the game, it will give 9 armor when not meeting the requirements instead of 8 armor." - Is this true? How long has this been prevalent? 128.119.156.172 16:31, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
 * It has always been like that, it's a bug but I don't think anet care. Frostels 16:57, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

Archive?
This is not meta anymore, is it still viable? 79.50.118.222 16:11, 2 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Still periodically seen on a scythe, but the sword is rare. I'd suggest a clean-up over archive. Aonsephonie 19:08, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
 * That's the build. I think the split is Earth 12+1+1, Scythe 11+1, Mysticism 6+1. Aonsephonie 19:23, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Probably should be a new page. -- Toraen TheJanitor [[image:ToraenSig2.png|link=User:Toraen]] 19:42, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
