Since I have been back I have few combat encounts outside of events( a couple of spars and getting jumped by Ixion on water), and there are very few combatlogs of pureblades. The few times I have won its ended in my opponent bleeding to death. So I just wanted a few good tips on what I should be focusing on as a pureblade, such as what are the main afflictions I should be looking to score and such. My main weapon is a 430/230(with wounding greatruned) speedwounding katana, I plan on getting a good claymore forged soon.

Rupturestomach (stacks hunger levels) - at least it did when I was a PB

Slitthroat

Tendons

Amputations


All those are what you normally strive for. I don't think the chest one does the same endurance loss like it used to. But you could also add in the SeverPhrenic to hit them with something like asthma.

Other than that, ask Geb and a few other PBs for spars. Watch how he uses his PB skills and try to devise a similar strategy but combine them into something that works for you.

Like if you were a tracker, you would want to combine pits that enhance your PB attacks, as a Night User you would want to combine slitthroats and tendons with choke. As a moonie, you want to try for aeon tactics or other Moonie affliction ones. As an Ur'Guard.... Tendons with Contagion, etc....
