Hi all,
I need some tips to play skald, because I don’t want play another Mid-Melee with Hammer, I prefer use Sword, is insane for you? h/b you can find template:
50 Sword (for Ragnarok)
43 BS
remain in parry

What do you think?^^

I’m awaiting yours! 
BB!

For group, sword is an epic fail. For solo it can work, but I think axe is better. Still, you will be at a disadvantage. If you really wanna play a sword character, make a warrior. Go for 50 sword, 29 hammer, rest shield(autotrain your weapons if possible). You will still have backsnare but you will have your sword. On skald it's lame. Drains too much endo, and your shouts and songs drain endo as well so you will have serious problems, in group or solo rvr. There is a skald on this server that was telling me how he can 3 shot a caster with his 2h sword on skald. You will never ever be able to do this against any normal group, and it's not your job as a skald to chase casters and try to KILL them instantly. Also, I know for a fact this guy plays late night US time, when other realms bring out weird setups which don't work and pug up with anyone, hence his "success". Sadly, weapon lines are not balanced on midgard but without the backsnare you are pretty much useless as a skald.

sword = better to hit bonus on anytimer but more endu drain
hammer = snarestyle

but hey, even my fail sword skald made it to rr11 with swordspecc so do whatever you like : D

dim mak!

Ahahahahahha yes DIM MAK XDDDDD.

"Pro rvr grps" won't accept u, because swordspec is a visible sign of gimpness . In solo slash dmg type also gimps u, but atleast u will look cool when u die!

yea what everybody else has said... doesn't work on a skald.
also hammer has a very low end usage on the anytimer which you need when all your shouts and chants take endo. The back snare is a must have and the 2 second parry stun is a nice bonus. If you plan on soloing crush has a bonus against most classes you'll face too.
if you want to play sword I'd suggest a hunter.

Firts thing, thank you a lot for all reply.. also "noononononononno"
Atm my skald is lvl 37 and trained Axe, at lvl 40 i can respec, probably i will change to Hammer.

I will think it!

The answers will the same also with Thane right?^^

BB ty!

yes same with any midgard melee class that has access to hammer spec.
its not like you can't go with sword, its just that hammer is so much better.
