Ok, i want to hear all your opinions with what weapon i should stick on. Before you post, keep in mind that i'm only considering all about the pvp - no pve !
ATM i have a 1h hh90 gold blade with zerk (http://www.pwdatabase.com/pwi/items/14804).
Got it refined to +6. It's pretty cool when zerk (or even zer+crit) occurs. Tho the dmg from skills is not that big. (each zerk takes away 300+hp)

And i got my eyes on a lvl 95 lunar dual blades (http://www.pwdatabase.com/pwi/items/16066).
Let's say they would be refined +6 as well. So my skill dmg is way bigger. The duals add-on +17 dex would give me more accuracy and evasion - also i calculated, it would give me +1% crit. Besides, stun skill is nice (i think so) - just dont know how often it would "land". So im curious, which blade (1h or duals) is better in pvp. Throw your thoughts here. And it would be nice if you say why you think so. Thanks in advance.

p.s. don't say - get GX - end of story. I know axes are good, but somehow i like being sword bm...

    lunar blades....not evaen a contest in me opinion

    far higher base damage far higher refine rate and a chance to seal?

    true you'll lose out on the squishie squad one shots from a zerk crited myriad but i'd rather rely on consistant high damage rather than hit for mediocre dmaage and just pray for that spike

    but hey that zerk blades already bound whats t stop ya from usein both?b:chuckle

    b:bye

    Hehe, well what is stopping is the price of lunar weapon. I really wanna make the right decision before i throw away millions of coins.

    If you already have the TT 90 Gold Sword. Then do you really need another. I would suggest getting great weapon for another path (axe/Pole?) That way you can combo more skills.

    IDK seems a waste of coin to get two awesome sword weapons. But its up to you man.

    Only one problem using a weapon with stun as a proc as your main damage dealing weapon for PvP; stunning someone stunned unstuns them. This will ruin your stunlock timing for your chains.

    TT90 gold pike has that same proc, and only reason I'll get that is for chance hit before stun chain happens. After that I swap away and don't use it again until chain ends. So it's a nice extra there, without getting in the way of normal chains.

    Though one interesting thing I'm planning on trying is stun fists to act as interrupt spam. TT90 green fists have determination, and if it ends up not working they can be decomped for TT99 ones.
    Fist are the worst at PvP AND PvE, if you disagree, as I said, take it to PM's or make your own guide. Go here if you want to debate about it. - Lyndura

    Okay am throwing my fair opinion on this topic(regardless am lvl 90 its my opinion).
    Single handed blade/sword is good in matter of fast dmg deal as it has better attack rate then duals but on the other hand it doesn't provides you with better dmg as duals.With that in mind i would solely chose duals because i prefer having better dmg output then having slightly faster hit.
    On another note most ppl say zerk is good(yes it may be good but still 5% of hp loss is something that constantly deflects me towards using such weapons having in mind that 5% hp loss chance may struck more then once during the TW and cause others to kill me easy which is rather bad thing as well since in TW your charm will be prone to ticking faster).As for global topic well...it all depends on players preference and their builds(talking only about sword/blade builds)but personally i chose to be dex build(meaning that i caped vit to some extend and loosen some str in order to boost dex to ensure my evasion and accuracy).
    That should be all i guess but feel free to correct me on anything i missed.

    I like the fact you brought this up. Through my level 80's I used some axes with the stun proc.

    First let me correct you. Stunning someone stunned does not unstun them. But stuns don't stack.

    So here is a problem you'll run into ( i ran into it) You hit the enemy and your weapons ability activates and you stun them......but you just hit Roar of the Pride. Now roar goes off but no effect enemy is already stunned....now your like ****...you attack...you get maybe one hit in and now enemy is no longer stunned (duration up) and your six second stun is on cool down.

    Something to think about. I used to hate it so much......

    Well im dex built BM (well for sword bm u sure have to have more dex). For the second weapon path - well, i see reasonable to do that only with axes. For stun skill mostly. But sword skills "recharges" fast - so i can even make 4 skill combo and repeat over and over, time to time including roar of pride. So basically sword will be equipped most of time (well yeah, maybe in aint that pro to switch weapons and skills, but i like it the way i pvp now). Also, i've got all except one demon skill book in sword path (yeah, i went demon).
    Btw, thanks, AdvanceZero, for explaining about the stun stuff. Cos i rly was like "wtf - stun from skill can be worn of by weapon stun ?!!!".
