Curved. unless you get a hell of a speed slice on the Hack. Even then, the Hack isn't as readily obtainable as a good curved sword. Plus with Geo mods on the curves swords, you can get the min/max dmg raised even more and speed dropped. Check with some of the good MWSmithies on your server. I bet you will be able to find some really good min/max dmg spd sliced curved swords on their vendors. I used a couple 100/350 min/max (stats approximated) 2.3 curved sword for my entire grind. Didn't even bother with a hammer or scythe till master. The swords I used were fine for dmg and spd.

True, but why waste your scythe on grinding? Rather save my scythes and Hacks on high end mob, not grinding fodder. LOL didn't you want an opinion between the sword and the Hack anyway LOL?

I carry two power hammers, one grinding, one acklay. I always carry a two-handed or my hack for kinetic though, I wouldn't waste your hack or scythe grinding

i took my curved sword all the way to master... powerhammers are generally slow and it all comes down to damage per second
your best bet is to go here: clicky
put in the stats for your weapons and see what gets u the highest damager per second and use that.... attack speed plays a big part in how efficient you are at killing things, and generally speaking, your lower damage faster attack weapon is probably the better bet in a near tie... as you are hitting more often so when you miss, it isn't as big a deal. one thing i like about the lower attack speed guys is ifyou have any medic skillz that extra 1 or 2 seconds from your last attack to your heal can make a difference in life or death.

and why aren't you using a power hammer???
Because when I was GRINDING up to Master, I didn't want to waste my good hammers. And AGAIN, the questions was curved sword or hack! Not which weapon of all the weapon a swordsman can use should be used. Geez.

Sorry 
I also went all the way to Swordsman with the curved sword. I was always drawn to those fast speeds!

Don't be sorry at all man. I'd rather grind fast with good dmg per second than slow with dmg per second. Ain't nothing wrong grinding with the old curved. Most of the swordsmen I know used curved till Master.

I have been master for a while, and I have a selection of curved swords that I still use for hunting resources. I don't have a lot of scout, so I don't have a lot of creature to hit bonus, so the accuracy of the curved swords owns my PH for creatures mobs.
