Calling all T2 Guardian players! Should I use a sealed sword or a twisted snarble barb as my main guardian sword? Should I just use them both? That option is not very appealing to me since I like having an antigua to interrupt enemies. I'm hearing different opinions on each sword and I can't decide...

Flourish/barb is just the

Flourish/barb is just the easier weapon of choice for many guardians. You don't get max asi without uv's, so any fast sword will help.

You have 2 weapon slots, sword+gun works.

Heavy swords are good for breaking guard shields and as a recon popping out of stealth. Or as a finisher when you need that extra damage.

I personally prefer sealed sword lines for lockdown, because the wide sweep makes it easier to hit those annoying Strikers.

Thanks for the comments!

But I'm still not sure... On one hand, flourish also has pretty much sealed sword's range. Yet, sealed sword has that nice damage...

Definitely a rapier.

With slower swords (including brandishes,) strikers are likely to hit you first and interrupt your swing in a one-on-one confrontation. The big swords are situational, mainly for swinging into groups that are distracted by someone else.

I've decided!

Thanks for the input guys! I decided to take the stick sword path, as they both have the same range anyway. Plus, it deals damage directly...
