If a warrior didn’t have EDL sword yet, like my alt for example would you say use DL sword or a void necro sword?
Or should I just stick to my dark lunar frost gele axe?

Lunar frost on bosses weak to ice, but otherwise dl sword

Dont use sword. Its simply, swapping for axe (unlikely u will carry a sword and a high calibar axe) will slow u down for rupture. 175 slash + 500 attack vs (shadow) 200 slash 215 str 500 attack 215 heat dmg is hard to compare. Divine strike is NOT as OP as ppl make it to be.

Death rings (sword rings), are considerably weaker than Fate rings (axes rings), being vit foc vs str dex.
U cant use gele brace cus the swords gele brace is utter trash, vs havoc brace which is better dps than prot brace.

Being sword user means u stack a lot of attack but at the end u stack and stack attack but being just high attack doesnt mean a lot, as ppl underestimate the stacking of dmg. I use 2 havocs and not prot braces, because the dmg bonus on havoc is crazy high. Not to mention that the higher ur physical dmg (void axe 210 slash, edl sword 175 slash) the more str will affect ur dmg, and the more dmg frenzy will add because frenzy adds x% of dmg and not fixed dmg (lvl 50 2200+ str will add roughly 200% of physical dmg), and hence higher physical dmg means higher frenzy dmg.

Attack is not a big issue for warrior. I use sun helm (thats the helm I have atm) and not any attack helm which is 600-1000 or higher attack boost unelixed, nor do I use reaper, but I rock 11k unelixed attack and almost 14k elixed. Stats Id not be near to with sword unless I have superior gear.

Godly fate ring - 1128 attack 170 dmg boost. Consider that as I dont think any other ring gives that.

So you're saying there's no increase at all?

Divine glows not op?
Tell me free 1.5k to 3k unresisted damage that lands a lot is not op...
Not all bosses are weak to physical damage, nearly not even many are... 175 to 210 slashing damage won't make much difference, plus having str from axe won't make difference much, I have 2.5k str and I don't see much difference from 1.7k str to 2.5k str, it's kinda useless adding it more and more...
Bosses like hrung mord necro some edls and gele have massive physical damage resist, only divine glows could be the most unbeatable thing on them, 1.5k to 3k damage every bit would beat the slash difference from weapons..
As much messed up as sword rings look like, but if you use DG then the vit and foc from them will be much handy..
Just because you get kills easily in your server doesn't make you tesr new builds and stuff because lack of competition in your server, you even get prot kills without running from rotors and mord ones... just shows how horrible dps is in your server.
Frenzy in no way adds 200% attack, I've went up to 3k str and tested frenzy with all type of weapons and it only added 800 damage 2.1k attack tops, and I've tested shadow lunar frost axe with all axe rings and edl sword with sword rings, the damage difference is not that big to cover up divine glows, in no way I'd recommend an axe over sword at a chaos bundle boss.

U used a wrong train of thought right at the start of the post. I didnt say the dmg isnt op, I said the divine strike isnt.

I've had an EDL sword for years....what is this "divine glow" you speak of??

5% divine strike proc is the only thing that appears to be different than any other sword. Please elaborate on this extra 1.5k - 3k dmg per swing you speak of.

The divine glow is the 5% weapon proc. It hits around 2-3k each time it goes off

Ok, "glow" isn't a term that is used on my server, that's a new one for me.

I'm still not sure how 5% is "a lot". That's 5 procs out of 100 swings.

I'll stick with my void axe, I get 95% of kills on all bosses (Mord/Necro/Gele/215/210/Event) other than Proteus, which is 100% ranger kill. I used to get kills on that when I was one of the only with void Gele weap and/or DG, however rangers have gotten the kills every day for 6+ months. I used to stay in rotor blades because I'd try to bash it, which helps all dps, however I run out now (count to 15, run out, run in, repeat), and we just plow thru prot as he is pretty easy now a days.

If you want to use a sword and rely on a 5% proc, by all means go for it.

p.s. Been speaking with a warrior on the top clan in Herne, he says they refuse to give warriors DG because they believe they are terrible dps and should be tank only. Yea, I sent him about 10 screenshots of a warrior getting the kill from last week alone; told him to show it to the warrior haters on that server.
