A couple of questions, would savagery allow the main to crit in banish easier? And is it a good choice in PVP, since the CW champs were using it it cant be bad can it? And what about the alternatives (gutshot, dervish, sweeping slash)?
the right question to ask is here if your main needs savagery in banish. at lower levels the main is usually the first sacrifice and at later levels the main goes out anywhere between round 1-10. it wont apply the skill until round 2 and its not the same skill as lance got, its a weaker version.
so in the end i wouldnt waste too much effort on getting savagery, but would mind getting skill scroll either. on the other hand, i think the main reason for players not using sweeping slash anymore is because at the higher levels you dont have enough PVE content (no more HR, no more quest = 0 ) to justify the purchase. i have been told savagery seems to be the same power as driving blow but you have a slightly raised crit rate when skilled.
that being said i'd like to point out that if you add a lv12 crit to your main and star it up, it crits a lot as well, not as much as lance or pomp but still significant.
sometimes i wish they would have added a stunshot to the main instead of dervish, that would really raise the strategies.
