I am working on a template, I can get either 1034 or 4031 swords, my question is would it be better to get Improved Critical Strike and the Regular Power Hit or vise versa...
Also anyone have a link to a thread displaying all the attack modifiers?

Critical definatly because you get the accuracy mods in that tree aswell and power attack has a rubbish pup bar like db

iijin so the lack of damage with the mcm/tkm temp brought you down like me, I went over here to get more damage too..straight up after testing i went with critcal hit over power attack...and the extra accucacy makes a huge difference

critical hit does almost as much dmg as power attack anyways. It's somewhere between 50 and 100 pts but if you land a +critical+ you will do about 150 more dmg than a power attack. Anyone dabbling in swordsman should try and work around xx34

yes get critical strike power attack seems to suck to me long warm up cost a bit more action i think and it's not much of a diffrence in damage

Critical is much much better than Power Hit that only has limited applications, use before KD for example.

i'm almost about to take power attack off my toolbar. all you really need is sword flurry, headhit, and critical strike
