== {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} Overview=='''Sword damage ''' is actually quite goodtypically one of the first combat skills a new player finds, along with [[Unarmed]]. Predictably, the main hurdle it requires a sword to get over is to find ways to manage the Power Cost of abilities (ed: it may be just bad luck as I haven't seen any power-enhancing equipped in your main hand. Sword augments yetfocuses on damage and rage reduction, they are probably there though)with a side of armor shred.A well-geared swordsman can completely block a monster from using Rage attacks!
