seeing that you are hybrid int i would say lion shout as it is a 100% mag damage based skill, i dont know if the sword dance is phy damage based or not though...

well im a hybrid int ,
i resently took out lion shout series becouse its damage was lower conpaired to the blade force series

i already have the snake sword dance series , it dus do more damage than lion shout ( by far) and has better aoe effects . the only down side is its regen time and execute animation , vs the faster animation and regon time of lion shout series
there for i picked up the blade force series to replace the lion shout
altho it dusnt have aoe effects it dus do more damage then lion shout and still has fast animation and regen time
and both lion shout and snake sword dance have chance to critt lion shout dus not .

do you think i should get sword dance? cause my combo will then be:
Light Nuke, Billow Chain, Sword Dance, Knockdown, Stab
and then repeat,
i think ill have enough time to let it reload

how about

chains SUCK in pvp as damage doing skills

thay mainly take to long to aply total damage witch means you will get either stunned . or knocked down or knocked back befor you can finish it

if your lucky you wont be stoned stabbed of kicked away . but than in the end all you managed to do is kinda counter part of the targets pot speed

in pvp chains can be used as pot speed counters not as damage doing skills
I sometimes use em right after a targets gets up from a kd + stab series
when all my other melee skills are still in cooldown time but thats about it

Oow no wait there is another use , i use em to look realy cool when killing low lvl's

but chains kick butt in pve tho . usualy pomp out more total damage than a nuke on hybrids in pve ..
chains are mostly mob fighting skills , mainly becouse mobs dont pot so the dot remains ( dot = damage over time )
But players will potion healt redussing the dot effects to almost nutthing

very interesting.. instead of having 2 books of shouts in my hot keys i should replace them with the 2 books of sword dance, i should be able to finish off power earth ghosts alot quicker, anyways we'll see how it goes.

which one does more damage and is best in pvp?

the 2nd book of sword dance does more damage than the lion shout with or without crit, but u dont use these kind of moves in 1on1 pvp, i just nuke kd stab, if u want to use some long range move in pvp use evil cut blade, with my build, it does more damage than sword dance and lion shout.
