My skill points are:
Sword:
1 Hack
5 Slash
5 Cleave
5 Flourish
5 Thrust
2 Sweep (helps alot in teams, when your opponent is really low health to finish them off and if you can't hit your opponent you can use sweep so his health doesn't go back up)
3 Endurance (I have 3.1k health, I only have endurance for team pvps, it helps. I wouldn't recommend maxing it unless you have low skills/level)
5 Bladestorm

My Dagger (not even 1 point in a dagger combo):
5 Viper Nest
5 Sidewinder
5 Adder
5 Blade Instinct
5 Finesse (cool down time)
4 Asp (to use against non-jumpers, or jumpers that cheat) really helps

I have 2 strategies that I use in PvP, I use vipers with fast switch (that makes me skip and they can't hit me) after I use vipers, I use bladestorm with fast switch (they should be around near half health then, I'd take out my sword and start comboing until I killed them or until they had so little health sweep/vipers could kill them.

My second strategy would be, start out with combos before you even get to the opponent (like hit them with flourish by the time you get to them, then jump sideways and hit them with thrust) then I'll bladestorm, use vipers skip and finish them off with combos.

I use these strategies depending on who I'm fighting, I can tell how people PvP on the first kill, then I'd make up a strategy during that match or use my main ones.

I use Nautilus Blade in PvP, it has a +2 Flourish boost and Critical Strike Rank 2. I also use my Nautilus wherever I go (like looting at darkhart, level at tormenta) even though I have the Barracuda broadsword which is much stronger then my Nautilus, I'm used to using cutlass because of PvP and it helps me get better. Its also funner to kill things when you're jumping with a cutlass imo. I also jump while looting/killing things, not just while playing PvP. One of the best jumper PvP swords are the Doom Rattler (it has a pain immunity, so you can't stun your opponent with combos and he can easily kill you if he has good aim) Thunderspine is also good, but I think Doom would be the best.
