which flourish

which flourish is the best choice? includes barb one as well. mostly PvE.

The wiki's down right now, but if it were up, you could read my answer to this frequently asked question at

The short version is: Final Flourish and Barbarous Thorn Blade are about equally good. The other two are less good.

Flamberge takes longer to kill them and inflicts fire which means that they're in the most pain for the longest amount of time possible. A+ in my books.

...also I'm being smart and leveling up to a Final Flourish (bc lordy i love the way the Flourish lines feel to play) buuut I'm still taking my Rigadoon all the way up. I'll choose the FF at times when the higher damage counts, but the Stun is just plain Fun xD (and it stuns quite often, certainly enough to make it my sekritly liked "lesser" weapon of choice, hue).

Yes, stun is fun, especially in the pure form of Stagger Storm. But then I start feeling sorry for the monsters.
Regular old Final Flourish. The charge attack is better than BTB's for all intents and purposes.
Status flourishes have pitiful proc chance.
