**2h Sword:** [Is Kerillians 2H sword any good?](http://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/is-kerillians-2h-sword-any-good/21611/9)  
**Similar playstyles to 2h sword:**  
-Dual Swords (ult on charged can kill 2 elites at once)  
-SnD (as above)

**Glaive:** [Shade still useless](http://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/shade-still-useless/21253/51)  
-Now running 15% crit, 20% Chaos, 10% Armour and Resourceful Combatant, Cooldown Reduction+Crit on trink

Most other weapons would take similar builds. I see spear getting talked down atm, which is one of the best and most versatile weapons. I expected it to be bad too until I was topping damage easier than some of the other builds I’ve tried.

All weapons are viable, but I’m yet to test 1h sword other than a few patches ago. Glaive is obviously best with Spear/Daggers following it.

At the minute I’m using a boss melting build.

**Dual Daggers build:**  
Dual Daggers: Crit/Chaos (resourceful combatant)  
Hagbane: Crit/Monster (hunter)  
Neck: Stam/Health, tempted to go Damage Reduction/Health  
Charm: Chaos/Armour (decanter)  
Trinket: Cooldown Reduction/Crit or Curse Resist/Crit, depends how confident you are in playing defensive (shrapnel)

**Talents:**  
3, 3, 1, 3, 3

**Strengths:**  
boss melting, destroys chaos warriors, fast charged attacks, solo potential, top melee kills, ranged horde clear if needed/ammo box  
**Weaknesses:**  
hard build, relies on team for stagger, relies on team for some special kill (hag can knock gutter runners off people though), relies on constant headshots, low ammo capacity

**Playstyle tips:**  
-VS single enemies push \> attack for safety  
-try to stand behind your team mates spamming headshots during hordes, go for elite kills whenever possible (you have to make up for not using glaive)  
-2-3 attacks and then a push in hordes  
-kite and use dodge as much as possible  
-VS elites, spam charged attacks and try to get their backs  
-chase specials in stealth during hordes and then kite the horde until your team can help  
-if you don’t need to fight the horde, don’t fight it. play safe  
-spam left click with hagbane on bosses or ult with a purple pot
