Silly people, Shadow Blades are better than anything else. So what if you can't actually get one, they're still pretty spiffy.

Both stance and enchanted are crap. Seriously, it's a fact, it's not an opinion. You can never ensure you'll be in stance non-stop, so sometimes, you don't get the 15% bonus, and when you drop to 50% or less Health, you should switch to 20%<50 anyway.

You should carry a sword with +15%>50, +20%<50 and +20% (while hexed). The mods are most likely your own choice, it fully depends on what you're doing. I prefer a +5 Armor pommel in most cases.

I have ony 2 swords that I use

Grognars sword, love the 3 life stealing, not so keen on the -1 degen.

My new addition is the Icy Dragon Sword, just added a +28 fortitude pommel

The IDS never dropped for me, it was given by a guild mate.. Still going to try to get one myself though I hate being beaten.

Flamberge looks best, or longsword, both got slick sword skins, rinblades arent too bad either.
Another nice skin is the HoD sword, like a beefed gladius.

I use the stance collector sword for my R/W Evasion Tank. It rocks.

Rinblade ftw.

Stance, yes, about the enchanted, no. On my Mo/W I use a plain sword, but if I could get one of those 15% when enchanted dealies Id be happier :] Anyhoo, thats swords skin looks like crap. Flamberge, Fellblade and Crystalline (when dyed silver) are sweet. Wingblades look to...malformed, longswords are too common, gladius' are too short. Great swords and fellblades look best on a large warrior with bulky armour, like Plate or FoW.

Other than that, Shadow Blades look the best of the best, but they dont count ¬.¬

I like my flamberges... I think they look great. Fellblades I've always found quite nice but a little too expensive for my taste. Brute swords are also quite pretty...

The weapon crafter in Droks has a 15>50 sword.

I like Fellblades myself, animated shadows on the blade really rock : )

personally i like the look of longswords its the sword that seems the most realistic as it is actually was used IRL. If anetmade it so different swords have different reach then the longswords would own every other sword.

always thought fellblades seemed more suited for the final fantasy universe.

Flamberges are my favorite.

Candy cane swords are awesome, but a tiny female monk wielding a fellblade is spectacular.

The best sword in the game, is that sword with the higherst mods.
That can be a sword like a gladius or a crystalline (or others ofcourse).
Only de value is different.
So a gladius can make the same damage like a crystal.
I'am using at this moment a sword with always 15% -5 energy.
One of the best mods (iam wearing gladiators armor +7 energy)

IDS THE BEST !!!!! I realy love my IDS with perfect swordsmanship upgrade, proved to be the best for fighting, and it's very cute by the way. Now I'm eger to make another one for running with +30HP pomel. Why IDS is the best, cause there is no good sword hilt in game: sundering simply don't work, some people know it, and u can add a pomell of your taste to it so it can be everything and it's the most beautifull sword in game!

Zealous/Furious of Defense 15%^50

Zealous/Furious of Defense 20% below 50

Zealous/Furious of Fortitude 20%(while hexed)

with the zeal vs. fur depending on which attack skills I bring

as for skin I prefer a Falchon, most of the others are either huge(fellblade, longsowrd(twohanded looking), brute) or ugly imo( FDS/IDS, Gladius(which is really sad...should look more like the sword in Gladiatior...or at least be more Roman looking), Forked.

Best Sword attributes? well thats like the question 'Best Profession' It simply doesnt exist. As for the person who seems to think there opinion is fact, well...

With my R/W i am in a stance 100% of the time, thanks to tigers fury. There is no point me spending oh so much more cash getting a 15%^50% weapon. Likewise, my W/Mo smiting build would be no good with a sundering hilt rather than his usual zealous. What sword attributes are best really depends on what skills your using. For the Record 13%-15% do exactly the same damage. There is a post on it somewhere, but i cant find it. Because GW rounds up,on average 13%^50% and 15%^50% do the same dmg when all said and done, and a fraction of the cost.

As for sword skins, that is just a matter of opinion. There is little point telling you want my favorite skin is, your may be different. Fellblade skin is nice, but its kind of like FDS swords in the early stages, they are just craved by every single n00b out there.

Flamberge are the nicest skin imho. They are nicely shaped, not as popular as the Fellblade, but still have that great black sheen on the blade which looks so cool.

If you have the money then the best sword skin in the game is Victo's Blade skin. Its jet black and is a exact copy of a beta sword design. If you can find a gold version of that skin, all the way back from beta, then your really in the money.
