im figuring out what to punch to try to get an asi uv but im not sure which wep to choose.Divine Avenger,Gran Faust,or suda/trig i have a DA,GF,Trig and was wondering which is best for lockdown.Im thinking gran faust because shadow resistance is probably the least common because of all those chaos sets and skolver clones.Or is a tri/suds normal damage worth it? i rarely see them in ld.
Best lockdown slowsword?

Divine Avenger and Gran Faust are the best. The Gran Faust wins out slightly because of the chance to curse.

Roll on a sealed sword for flexibility. For example, if you get a CTR VH, you'd want to make that into a DA.
Though I can imagine the pain from trying to level it up now after post-patch. But for what you're planning to spend, it'll be a better route to take.

Wrong. The GF wins because Shadow defence is way more uncommon than Elemental. The curse is nice but extremely far from decisive.

Armor defenses doesn't matter
Armor defenses doesn't matter that much, snarby/chaos users survive 1 extra first swig.
DA, GF or WRH are good choices, normal damage weapons are mediocre in LD.

@Krakob:
In Tier 3 Lockdown, I see more Snarby than Vog. I see more Shadowsun than Nameless (or even Justifier). Bombers I guess are elemental, but usually I just see Recon Bombers. Anything other than that I tend to disregard, except maybe Chaos.
No need to go all Phoenix Wright on me.

I love trigalav/sudaruska,
I love trigalav/sudaruska, but I wouldn't place priority on punching it. Plus, the troika line has innate asi decrease high compared to sealed sword line.
I'd say go with Gran Faust, because you might eventually get a WRH.

From best to worst
From best to worst choices:
1) WRH. Make those pansy skolvers wet their diapers with this.
2) GF. The damage, look, and curse are too sweet for most to handle.
3) DA. Even though it looks like a big yellow male genital, it works against people with little elemental defense.
4) Sudaruska: I do not recommend this or triglav. Both suck majorly due to super slow speed. Even asi max doesnt do crap. (I tested it with asi ultra: a recon aGFer beat me easily. No clue what idiot decided to make this crappy sword)

Voza, the troika lines were likely meant for PvE

Trioka lines are still underpowered compared to the other heavy swords, even in PvE.
Gran Faust is the best. It's not even up for debate.
