SwS Equipment

What's the typical SwS armor progression, C,B,A?

My guess is Comp, BW, Maj/Tal? Is DC a no no?

How about weapons? So far it seems 2h Swords, Sword and Shield, and Bow for PvP.

Any suggestions?

You got the general idea..

C->Full plate
B->Blue Wolf
A->Majestic or Tallum

I prefer one-handed swords as main weapon, with either crit damage or focus SA. +STR dyes for more damage so I can level faster. Bow for certain pvp situations, not all! UD+Bow can be really good.

Many like 2h-swords, they do decent damage too, but no shield! SWS has great shield defense rate, with their passives. With buffs they block alot. Dagger is also an option, for great crit-rate, but I prefer a sword for balance between accuracy, costs and patk.

As for weapons, I am also a member of the "Shield + Sword"-fraction...although the extra damage you do with a 2h-sword with Focus or Crit Damage....nice! ;)

As a healer, I prefer the faster attack speeds on 1-handers combined with a shield. The block rate combined with VR makes SwS's ridiculously powerful alongside SEs. Add a prophet to the mix and you've got yourself one shiny blender.
