I was wondering if a very fast or very high damage would be better forsoloing elders...just master swordsman, no +speed attachments or anything...

Find out what has the highest DPS! AND! Use that when fighting elders.

That DPS calculator DOES take into account the delay mod of specials, it's a very handy tool for comparing weapons

Man, thanks for that tool, really handy. Turns out I've been using the wrong hammer for elders by about 100+ DPS. Speed was definately the way to go if your not Capped. Also when killing any others my best scythe beats any PH by about Double. Man I need some Speed tapes.
Thanks,
Ictar

Your best bet is not to bother.
If you're looking for loot, you can clear a stalker or protector spawn in the same if not less time and get more loot.

i haven't crunched the numbers but i am pretty sure that with only master swordsmen speed mods you are much better of with a good speed sliced hammer . i have 2 identical hammers ( one got a 32% damage slice and one got a 32% speed slice ) , i would estimate that i kill elders twice or atleast 1/3 quicker with the speed sliced one.
regarding the poster with the link to the damage per second calculator , its a very nifty tool but without delay mods of special moves the results are meaningless .

Well speed maybe, unless you could get yourself a nice Acklay PH with 5 or 600+ max damae and get a damage slice, even a good speed slice would be nice with that as a max damage. I'd say just really figure out what will do more DPS, DPS is your best bet against a 300+k HAM mob lol

I go for speed solely because it seems the speed of applying intimidate is based on the speed of your weapon, and I use intimidate a lot
