IMO the best way to grind is xx1x(spin-attack1) and than doing x41x(speed)...gettin the boxes of the last tree(accuaracy) as soon as u have enough combat-xp...

you get spin attack 1 in lvl 4 of bralwer (i think?). and do more damage per second with it than spin 2 until you hit 4 in the speed tree.

if you got spin2.. you would get less xp per kill since that tree has damage mitigation in it.
go up the sword tech branch (speed)
then offense(swordsmen area attacks are better than spin anyways)
then finish with defense.

that isn't true. accoding to dmg calculator spin 2 under XX1X gives better dps than area 3 until you are speed capped. Do XX1X, then sword tech like the other dude said.

ok, that may be correct but i still stand by the fact that your better off to get sword tech first... if you get spin attack2 with bad accuracy your going to be working pretty hard for your sword tech tree. stick with spin1 and get up the speed tree, easier to do with less accuracy. I am certain though, that if you get spin2 you will also get less experience per kill, every box you get in the damage mitigation tree will give you less xp per kill. so not only will it be harder to get the xp if you get spin2, you will get less of it.

ok, so the accuracy will be a problem no matter what he does first. I used to use speed/accuracy power-ups on my damaged sliced +15 range 2 hand curveds till I got to the scythes.
The slightly less xp per kill could be off-set by the higher dps of spin 2, but I am not aware of an experiment that supports that notion.
I personally did swords man in around 4 buff cycles or so that way. But at the time I was also grinding slower than I am now.
I heard of a person that did it in 3 cycles.. maybe they used your way.
