I love the longsword, I love how it has a ton of evasion with dagger offhand and I love the inability to escape the 1 attack chain once contact has been made, and I love how I can keep poison active all the time….the problem is I just can’t seem to nail down a good all-melee spvp build.

I’m running longsword+Dagger/Greatsword with Hyena/fear wolf on my setup, running healing spring, flame trap, viper’s nest, guard (to set up for fear howls and to double team knockdown with hyena) and rampage as one.

30 skirmishing – 30% pet crit damage, placeable traps, trap duration
20 wilderness – shared anguish, sword/GS cooldown reduction
20 beastmastery – F2 recharge, shout recharge

Running Valkyrie with knight gem, flame legion runes for more damage vs enemies hit by my flame traps.

Any suggestions on what I should do with this? I want to keep Guard but I can ditch the traps if there’s another setup that would work better

edit: shifting my traits to survival cooldown and swapping the snake trap for mud seems to be doing wonders, although I still want to hear from you guys on this

Very clever…
There is a longsword, it’s just shortened to “sword”; just as the Greatsword could be referred to as a two-handed sword.

That depends on which skin you pick :/
