Thread: Gaderiffi Baton Best for 1-Hand 1-4???
I'd use a curved sword for box 2 and three, then switch back to the Gaderfi (speed sliced preferably).
The 2h Curved is really the only sword you need for the 2h line in Brawler, though i'd reccomend getting a 2h Axe just so you dont have to keep usin gthe Heavy Axe (man i hate that weapon.)
from a former master fencer who DIDNT hologrind it: Use a speed sliced curved sword for the entire 1 handed tree. In fact, if you're going fencer, use that same sword to go up to footwork 3, THEN switch to a damage sliced gaffi. It's silly, I know, but the 1 and 2 handed curved swords are the best bang for your buck weapons in the melee field.
And yes, you should go up and get footwork 4 FIRST, then do the rest of fencer. Same goes for every elite melee profession, go up the speed trees first. TKAs just have it easy because their speed is the same as their damage.
