okay. So since the ToF build came out (i keep an eye out for updates) I made a Para/wa and began lvling. I've got to lvl 20 to suddenly realise i didn't just want a char that plays well, i want it to look good too, (fine, i'm wierd) none the less is their a way ToF could use a sword? (whether it was less effective or not) and still have a decent effectivness?

The major difference with the use of an axe in comparison with a sword is the potential amount of foes that can be hit with Cyclone axe compared to any sword attack. Hundred blades and Triple Chop are close, though I believe the axe build is best for multiple opponents.

Hundred Blades is much more hassle to line foes up for multiple hits, but it will give you more on-hit bonuses like zealous, vamp and such.

I use a sword with the ToF build as well Unanimous, i cant stand my para not looking good without a sword in his hand. anyways just take out Triple Chop and cyclone for Hundred BLades and Leviathens Sweep, then take swordmanship down to 9 since u wont get extra dmg by upping it. does the same effect, i still hit adjacently, the only real diff is the dmg diff. I deal about 20 less dmg now when it cone to the elite skill, cyclone and leviathen still do about the same. yea its a pain to go cap the Hundred Blades elite but i figured what the heck, i want rank 3 survivor so ill be heading to lutgardis anyways, might as well make a quick stop in sunjiang to grab it.

O and why sun and moon slash? thats 8 adren to use and it doesnt add dmg nor does it hit multiple targets, simply atks twice, plus it takes longer to get Go for the eyes up as much.
