Ugh... Skills are killing me!
I've have tried to research a lot about skills for fighters as I could among these forums, but I'm getting very mixed up... Does anyone know what would be the best skills and distribution for an all-out 2-Handed Sword wielder like myself that would be great for the long run?
Right now I have yet to buy a skill or distribute any of my empowerment points because I'm afraid I might screw up without any backup knowledge to support me... any help would be appreciated. I don't really care if its PvP or PvM just throw those builds out here anyway...
Thanks in Advanced.

According to zotius' compilation, 2hSwords are not as good as axes when it comes to an attacker (as opposed to a tank, where it is suggested that a 1hSword and Shield is best combo, despite any notion that shields=phail :P)
2hSwords lack a slight critical/damage bonus from 2hAxes, while getting a slight boost in attack speed and accuracy, but this slight boost it recieves is not useful enough to account for the axe's boost. However, if you chose the 2hSword due to visual effect, it would seem that you would be more of a casual gamer as opposed to WIN AT ALL COSTS NECESSARY!!!1!1 sort of person (not an insult), so you shouldn't have to worry as much necessarily concerning metagame issues and just focus on what you want, which is this basis of ALL mmos, that is, to have a good time with the world! Just because you lose in a fight against a assimilationist fighter with stats similar to every single fighter doesn't mean you suck-it means you're original! So chill out, my friend. Just have fun. Melt away that stress. Do what you feel like. If you say, "I don't like x skills sp cost, I'll empower it!", then do it! That's just life, man. Have a good time. Enjoy Fiesta!

Seriously
After the recent change of events
I've found the sword MUCH better grinding weapon in comparison to the axe..
Its an underestimated weapon really, and works great with spr and str builds although
Much more consistent damage and accuracy. Later on in the game the crit rate stack up much more and that extra 1% crit rate from the axe becomes insignifcant as your critting more because of the faster attack speed.
i would never walk into pvp with this unless i had nothing else...
Like the 1handed sword, its pretty much a grinding weapon. The grinding VARIANT of the axe...
Skillwise remember
Pump powerhit Damage and optionally cooldown.
Devastate (ATLEAST 10 points this will be your TRADEMARK skill for a while.) Either in cooldown damage and STUN DURATION is a must
Increasing durations on vitality bone slicer or fatalslash is optional
Don't forget about whirlwind and vampiric strike later on.

The meaning of victory is not to defeat your enemy but to destroy him, to eradicate him from living memory, to leave no remnant of his endeavours, to crush utterly his every achievement and remove from all record his every trace of existence. From that defeat no enemy can recover. That is the meaning of victory.

Saving up for devastate will take me until level 50 since they only give me a point every 2 levels... Well I guess I take my points out of concussive charge once I get the chance.

+1 Rep for halcyonstorm
i for one am playing the same way. ive read trough many guides, but in the end i made my char as it is, because thats the way i like it. made some researches on my own, decided whats important and what isnt, and spent my (stat and skill) points then.
my fighter is lv48 and i have 7 skill points left. what? that means i havent spent a single point to empower devastate?! but.. but.. everyone is saying that i have to.. *confused*
well, my fighter is no tank, and im really safisfied with devastate as it is. when i got to stun multiple enemies for 5 seconds, woohoo, it does just that
this was just an example of course, not trying to talk this skill down, cos its a smeksy one, really.
im happy with every single point i've spent, cos im 100% sure i couldnt have put them in any better places. and my remaining 7 points will find their place as well soon, im sure of that

Well if you're no tanker then I suppose you could save the points for some other skill lets say... Whirlwind? Hmm but I thought we supposed to get 1 point each level...
