I would like some advice from you veteran swordsman out there. I just purchased a really nice gold fellblade with perfect furious 10/10 ,and was wondering if you guys recommended adding the sundering 10/10 or just leave it furious?? Most people I talk to in the game swear by the sundering so im leaning torwards that but would appreciate your thoughts if youve had some experience using both. Thanks

perfect sundering is crap. 10% chance @ 10% penetration...that's useless.

sundering 10/10 for 100K FTW noob

Anyone who swears by 10/10 sundering really doesn't know what they are talking about. Trust me I've played warrior ALOT and I would choose a perfect vampiric sword hilt any day. Heres why, its 3 extra damage each and every hit. Plain and simple that is alot more damage than a small 10% chance to have only 10% armor penetration.

VAMPIRIC FTW!!!

yeah 10/10 sundering is worthless. It amounts to a big whopping 1% extra damage on average over time! Woohoo!

Perfect Furious is much more useful, as it amounts to gaining adrenaline 10% faster.
Perfect Vamp is good if you counter the health degen.

veteran warriors would advise you to switch to axe.

yeah, switch to axe, then get 2 perfect ones...one with perfect vamp and one with perfect furious...and only use the vamp when in battle....okay so i guess you only need 1 axe and 1 anything...but why act poor?

ok, now youve all got me really confused. I understand the vampiric mod would be good from the standpoint of 3 points dam every time but have never liked the -1 reg thing. What about elemental damage mods,ie...fire,earth,shocking,icy??? I know they are much more common but are they good? What does changing your damage to elemental actually do performance wise? Thanks for your replies.

Changing to elemental damage would pass the +armor vs physical attacks, but rangers and elementalists have better armor against elements. That aside, if you're a W/E you could use Conjure Fire or the others to do more damage per hit.

About the Vampiric, you just switch to a different weapon while you're not in battle, thus keeping the -1 off of you until you need to use the Vampiric.

in regards to the -1 regeneration from vampiric hilt, you dont regenerate health during battle anyways unless someone casts a spell on you right??? so once the battle is over and you begin to regenerate health again the -1 is just taking a little more time right??? which doesnt seem like a big deal unless youre playing with some impatient buddies,lol

Try using vampiric before you give advice.

During battle, switch to the vampiric weapon for the extra healthgain and dmg. When not in battle, have a non-vampiric weapon ready so you regenerate health normally.

Trust me, the -1 health degen during battle is trivial.

heres my weapon:
Max Icy Dmg
15>50
20% weapon mastery (warriors should be pure offensive)

that fits absolutly any build, and unlike puting on 20% enchanting grip, u can use this as any W/ such as W/N

In my opinion 3:1 vampiric is the best thing your can put on your hilt slot.
