Only had one set of racial GS's prepared(they were all chess Greatswords). I have decided that this second set will all be Elite Daemon Slayers, so one Asoka uses EDS, the other uses Blade of the Emperor's. Obviously my pvp greatswords are Passion of Regulus's.
After playing around with her, I can now give my personal analysis of her stance Sect of Moonlight.
Personally, I believe Sect of Moonlight is one of the most powerful PvE stances. With its 2 hit 3target auto attack using Greatswords and a 40% multiplyer, her auto attack is better than calypso's in shadow sting in almost all situations, AND it hits 3 targets rather than 1. Further more, in a squad based DPS environment, aka if you were to do Tower of Chaoes or something with a full squad, she would benefit from hound unlike calypso, thus gaining another 20% of damage. Although she is fairly difficult to speedcap alone, in a squad this isn't an issue.
Skill Analysis
Cresent Cut Slash: 1 target skill with moderate damage, adjacent targets only with 25% chance to double dmg from moon curse(in my experience 100% chance). The prefered skill not to max, the dmg increase isn't that great, and its utility in PvP isn't good as moon decision is better. Would only be used as skill spam to kill scouts and stop them from potting, in PvE also not so great, as it is outshone by asura, acrobatic evil slicer and moon decision
Destructive Wind Slash: 3target skill ranged 5-10m. moderate dmg, ignores block. For PvP great from chasing down people who run away, and a great way to get first hit, also can and will kill weaker armoued people if you have decent weapons. For PvE not useful at all for dpsing, HOWEVER, it is great for interrupting mob skills and the like.
Air Slash: 5target skill within a range of 4metres, moderate damage, 60% chance to moon curse, ignores block. PvP wise, just as good as volition from Hanging Guard, moon curse drains hp and sp, good range and decent dmg. PvE great skill perfect setup for a devastating Asura.CD isn't too long so it is fairly spamable.
Acrobatic Evil Slicer: single target, 1.5m range, high damage. PvPwise, a killer skill, absolutely shreds leather and soft armour, pretty much centella for greatsword. PvE good dps skill, adds to total dps. Not much else to say.
Asura: range 2-6m 4m radius, 5 target, 25% chance to double dmg with moon curse(in pvp seems to be 100%). PvP, incredible skill, 5 target finisher with chance to double dmg, not much else to add, a fun combo is Air Slash, and as their chars move to get up, start casting asura, and it should hit them. Pretty devastating. Same for PvE.
Overview, PvE wise a very very strong stance, PvP wise, it is weak to metal armour and flyers, and to a certain extent toons with high block. Her damage in pvp vs metal users is pitiful, her finishers don't ignore block, and non of her skills hit flyers. Personal opinion. PvP:B(good but has certain limitations, not well rounded.)
PvE: A+(good for basically everything, flyers you should know in advance, and be able to bring the approapriate team)
