who the fuck uses longswords for shatter strike? (IMG:[

I don't think you need to do a shatter while targets have PA. You don't get a damage bonus anymore for shattering penetrated armor targets (hidden change) so it's still optimal to shatter when your OC is near max and you have Spirit Stance on just for the SS.

What's wrong with that? 100% hit are nice! (IMG:[

I often use an Exquisite eth longsword of balance when using shade or sometimes power armor. Its the highest bleed eth i have & its got a nice AAB/ACB. Using that I don't need to use shards.
I must have close to 200 2HD weapons I can pick from and I like the sword. And I haven't found a weapon I feel I need to upgrade yet. I did pickup
THIS from my Faux Rainbow Mane Cap. If it had higher bleed I would think about upgrading it.
The thing with SS is you can do this on any level, if I had upgraded gear/weapon I could do this on IWBTH.
