Talk:Silverwing Slash

At least in this campaign they managed to get the skill owner to actually use the skill. :) --Karlos 10:15, 28 March 2006 (CST)

Could someone explain what's good about this skill and the duplicate. They look very straightforward with no added effects or requirements. Anything I'm missing here? I'm not saying it's anything wrong, I'm just curious. Seb2net 18:35, 26 June 2007 (CDT)

Who ever said it was good? :p They are just as you say: Straightforward with no added effects or requirements. Sort of like Executioner's Strike but for a Sword, and of course with less gratuitous damage. Axe goes Eviscerate->Executioner's, Sword goes Cripslash->Gash->Galrath or Silverwing...if you want to build a parallel build. For Swords, though, there are a lot of better skills that you could be using that Adrenaline on. Such as...Sun and Moon Slash, Standing Slash, Final Thrust...Very few high-end Sword builds use this or Galrath Slash, because of the large Adrenal cost and the meh overall effect. That doesn't mean it's "Bad" per se, just...average. Plain, basic, boring... (T/C) 18:39, 26 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Exactly why Steelfang Slash doesn't see the light of day. --Kale Ironfist 18:41, 26 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Well, the main problems with Steelfang are it obviously can't be used directly after a previous adrenal skill; you need to gain back a strike, and there aren't any Sword KD skills anyway. This makes it extremely difficult to get the adrenaline bonus unless you're using Shock (or Gale, lolz) or the KD is caused by someone or something else. It would've been better as a 5 Energy, maybe 8-10 Recharge, considering how conditional it is. Arshay Duskbrow 21:28, 26 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Furious Axe had a 9 adrenaline strike cost and gave back 3 on a block/evade, but was changed to 5 energy 6 recharge. Considering this is even more conditional than that, and taking into account Pure/Jaizhenju Strike, it'd likely have a 6 or 8 recharge if ArenaNet moved to making it an energy skill. --Kale Ironfist 22:15, 26 June 2007 (CDT)
 * After some research I've found that there's not really any point to using this skill. If you got 11 tactics or more, you're much better off with Soldier's Strike. Same Damage, 5 energy, semi spammable and unblockable if you're using a shout. This is outdated and boring. Seb2net 05:58, 27 June 2007 (CDT)
