Is there much difference between these skills in damage output or state effects.
I know area attack 3 does dizzy occasionally and attempts to lower posture and the damage is pretty good.
But I actually forgot all about spin attack 2 (I've been master for ages but it wasn't on my toolbar :smileyhappy

I tested area3 vs.spin2 in the geo cave yesterday. Both attacks are x3 damage.

OK thanks thats why I removed it from toolbar then. Great another useless special for a master swordsmen to go along with sweep attacks.

anyone else confirm that sweep 2 is the same damage as area 3? seems strange, since sweep 2 is a level 1 skill, and area 3 is much higher. (but hey.. no surprise given other professions' skill blunders).

i STILL use spinattack2, because stormies now follow you in star ports, that is the ONLY time they will not kite. So try this, get buffed, armored, and if you're rebel go to somewhere with a crap load of ST's...
Get them all to aggro on you, then run inside the detach HQ or star port, then spam spinattack2.... it's hilarious.

But why wouldn't you use area attack 3 since it does dizzy and lower posture too.
