pff chains knock down + stab

Word to that.......I would follow up the stab with the three sword chain and the turn stab.....Instant ko by the time i finish.......Or rather a few more hits and the guys dead......Also the knockdown is kewl coz it will interrupt the attcks of the monsters and those who are ksing you too......Works REAl well for giants....hint hint
But the chains are good for 1) fast dmg 2) giving status effects.......Do you realise that when u launch a chain sword it will nearly always give the monster ur attcking a status effect when u have imbue on? Be it ice lightning or fire.....It always works........Not so sure abt the spear chain but the bow one doesnt do the status as often as the sword.....
