A bit of information for those who don't know:

Bladed Ferver: max of +1% crit,+3 attack,+1 def on weapon

Saber Rattle: max of +3 attack on weapon

Krav Maga: max of +5 def (+2 and +3) on weapon



I personally prefer Krav Maga, since my sage adrenal puts me up to 40 def (and yes I do use saber rattle for sins/anyone else that askes for attk)

So, what do the rest of you prefer to use and why?

    For PvE, it's always Krav Maga on my r8r sword and Bladed Fervor on the r9 one. If people want attack, I just switch to my 3rd sword and buff them (that way I can save a bit of time recasting buffs ._.).

    For PvP, I kinda prefer going with Krav Maga on both, but in some situations I'll use my PvE setup.

    I only play PVE. I typically blast off Krav Maga to buff the party members, followed immediately by Bladed Ferfor to give myself a bigger offensive boost. Krav remains active on other party members.
    I'm so P.R.O... I Press Respawn Often.

    Krav Maga for big pulls.

    Bladed ferver for fighting bosses and general fighting.

    I usually ask the squad which they prefer. Sins want Saber Rattle for some reason.

    Krav is my default. The others are situational for me.

    It all depends on what's going on really..

    For Warsong pavilions, I usually cast a Krav Maga on squad mates before they run off on their own. Then I'll put Bladed Fervor on myself. Sometimes a sin might ask for saber rattle, so I'll pull them to the side and give them that buff separately.

    For PVP such as NW/TW -> Krav Maga for everyone including myself.

    Running through a BH/AEU/FSP -> Saber Rattle for everyone. With all the full class buffs on everyone already, I don't think that having 5 defense levels in addition to those is really necessary - so I opt for a damage output boost instead.

    When I played Seeker for about three days, I always used Krav Maga. It sounded cooler than the others and I liked having 40 Defense levels.

    It's completely situational.

    For PvE:
    I factor in who is in my squad, what we are doing and how well I predict we can pull it off.

    For PvP:
    Again, it's all about situation and who I am fighting/what buffs I have etc. For NW and TW I run Krav, and sometimes switch to Ferver depending on who I am fighting at the time.
    For 1v1's (also situational) I usually run Krav on my R8R def lvl sword and Ferver on my RRR9, but then again it depends on who I am fighting and how well I can take hits.

    Kitty prefers Saber Rattle as squad buff to make stuff go down slightly faster, thus meaning less hits taken -> less need for healing and smaller repairs.
    Kitty doesn't find Krav Maga to have any real impact as when heals aren't enough anymore, 3,5% less damage taken wouldn't probably save it anymore, while boss going down faster might save from running out of time and receiving killing blow. Having 350 HP left doesn't help if mob has 700 HP left and so needs one more hit to die, and like we know, mobs get the last hit.

    As self-buff Kitty prefers Bladed Fervor for even further damage increase(~2,5% as full T3, Saber Rattle would be 1,5% at 90 base attack levels).

    I honestly find myself only using Fevor when it comes to self buffs, and usually krav for squad buffs. Imo 4 defense lvls arent worth crying over in a 1 vs 1 situtation. As far as Tw/Nw go, it depends on what im doing. I'f im being offensive id rather fevor and jones Blessing, and if defensive then mailey and krav.
