Sword or blunt

I just made 95 and i dont know what's better for tank : sword with haste and health or blunt with haste and critical damage. Till now i used only sword. Looking for some opinions about blunts and this critical damage sa.

Honestly.. either one.. with Haste and Focus. :)

Bumping the topic...
Right now I've got Apo +4 150 with Health. I CAN get specter cutter.
Now the question is: How much would that improve my damage (since we're mostly skill damage based and I'm a def tank too)? Or should I rather keep both and use the health Apo to tank in PvE and get specter as a PvP weapon?

Can you afford to purchase the specter cutter, and drop dual SA on it?

If no: I would suggest instead dropping dual SA on your apocalypse cutter. This improves PvP damage by 5% which is more than you'll see from an upgrade involving a specter cutter with a single SA. Also, get your apocalypse cutter to 300 element attribute. This will make a big different as well.

If yes: Get specter cutter, 2 SA, and 300 element.

Also, one other question: Does your Apoc Cutter have a good Augment, like passive reflect? Cause if so, it could take Billions to get a specter cutter that matches your Apoc.

So Apo it is.
No way in hell I can get enough adena to drop 2 SAs on Specter.

Now the question: focus or haste (I lean towards focus, since hate no longer affects the reuse time of skills)?

haste as it will be again in Lindvior and there are other ways to boost ur crit rate..

I suppose now would be the time to buy unbind R scroll to add that 2nd SA for haste.

Also, I think Draecke is right about the crit rate. There are so many ways to improve it. Increasing the crit outside of the "focus SA" might cost a lot of Adena, however, those costs come with extra bonuses.

As for the blunt: I still believe a blunt haste/critical damage SA would be good combination since you can stack so many critical damage modifiers to make the most out of each critical hit.

Blunt with Haste/Crit damage is truly awesome, but only if you have the gear to soft-cap crit rate. I believe those of us noobs without 400+ crit rate suffer with a blunt in our hands.
