im a spear nuker switching to sword (full sword when done farming)

on many occassions pvping against pure str my level, i came to notice i can hardly kill using sword.

i noticed its an easy kill to follow a ghost spear prince after a nuke on a stunned opponent but with sword, i just dont have a skill as quick as a ghost spear. is the blade force series anywhere near that quick as with ghost spear? i dont wanna invest in it if it aint that quick.... i have the book1 w/ i know casts slower than ghost spear, i wana know from those who's got book2 already. as long as its quick as lion shout... then its good, my weapon skills, so far, hits harder than any lion shout i have so looking forward into the blade force series as a nuke follow up

pls give ur input
thanks guys

No, its not fast.

I have an int hybrid sword. Many times I use the sword dance as the finisher IF I had imbued the nuke. Imbued the sword dance is stronger than lion shout, naked lion shout is stronger. Also uses less SP, but takes a little longer to use. Also the transfer is nice after a light nuke.

The only sword skills I use are sword dance, KD, and stab.

Hi cometfall, if u are pure int then you will want to use kd+stab every hit as you have low hp and the knockdown saves your life. However if you are hybrid int 2:1 for example..then use 5-hit chain and close range nuking as soon as the oppenent gets up from the floor. This will do alot of damage in a short space of time and make up for the lower damage of being hybrid.

Im assuming you mean in a pvp situation.

im a 90% nuker i have both sword and spear
i noticed i kill much easier using the nuke+ghost with spear
but with sword, there's just nothing to instantly follow a nuke

but i need a really quick nuke-follow up when using the sword other than lion shout. the sword dance is really useless in this regard, the cast time is just too slow, the only quick follow up to the nuke that can even down a bunwang w/o letting it hit me is the illusion chain... right now with book1 of blade force, it is really slow but the description for book2 says it's faster... i was assuming it meant a faster cast/execution

if any here are my level in Athens, im looking forward to PVPing especially those with farmed chars. im Lv47 atm with Lv42 masteries. don't take me lightly though, i have around 3200 hp due to gear and heuskal passive

well there are two cases here

1) you are only getting fire and light nukes...
In this case once you get the second book of shock lion series you will be able to fire, light, shout1, shout2, repeate till dead....

2) you have all the nukes.....
I have been able to cast all three nukes over and over and not stop nukeing, sometimes a good shock lion to finish of to save mp...

I have a the swoard mastery just for the passive

I belive sword and sheild is the only real choice for a nuker
