To be honest I think all the ‘oomph’ for using sword in a power build is final thrust. I use it from time to time in my power build and seeing that hilariously huge number on final thrust when the enemy’s hp is below 50% is always nice.

not sure why its only 111% crit dmg but i hit 120% ingame

the warhorn boon conversion is really great for the condi heavy meta right now, if you are still being bombed with condis just run berserkers stance instead of bullscharge.

i hit 8-13k final thrusts depending on the enemy, just make sure to immobilize them before u attempt to hit final thrust since it has a 15s cd

even in power builds if you consider the bleeding damage then Sword Auto is not bad at all with more bleed stacks it can surpass GS auto damage, plus the cripple on auto makes it way better than GS/Axe auto “stick more on enemy”.

Savage Leap a gap closer and a cripple, flurry beast immobilize skill great setup for other skills,Final Thrust an Eviscerate that doesn’t consume adrenaline, honestly i like sword & i wonder why people pick Axe over Sword.

Thats a build without any condition cleanse skill or cleansing ire.. You atleast need cleansing ire + 1 condi remove skill or lyssa/melandru runes or something.
But you run static +stats runes without any buff.
So yeah your damage is fine in this build. But yeah have zero ways to deals with any condition

as i said, you can use berserkers stance instead of bull’s charge, duh

I tired power sword and found it remarkably under whelming. Savage leap is inconsistent with actually connecting and not over shooting. Flurry can self root horribly at times. Final thrust is slow and clunky on a good day and not very responsive. Go axe, then you just have inconsistency with always trying to get that third strike to hit and eviserate either hitting very hard or making a very tiny bump.
