Noob Swagger has some SA questions
Hey guys I decided to try out SA and so I decided to join some guild quest hoping to land me a rad SA.
At the polish screen of the very first hunt I was greeted by this http://imgur.com/sq9clbh
Now here comes the question. How far does this go for being a end game SA? In sword form will I get poison status or do I need awaken? How much better is evasion+2 than evasion+1 both with evade extender?

needs awaken
seems decent enough. could be better but also could be much worse
Awaken seems like a waste for SA. Sword form gives you awaken and mind's eye.
To OP: Evasion +2 is only slightly better than Evasion +1. I would grab it if it doesn't stop you from getting another useful skill, but otherwise I'd go with another skill.
Oh so I will get poison status in sword mode. I was beginning to think this only happens if the SA has either poison veil or para phail.
Pretty sure Sword mode only gives you awaken if it has an element phial or the matching status phial. In this case it does, but if you get one with an element that needs to be awakened and a power phial (like the Conqueress for instance) I don't think sword mode would give you the element. Correct me if I'm wrong, I'd love an excuse to disregard awaken.
I'm no SA expert, so I can't answer that, unfortunately. You probably know better than I do!
Dang that sucks.
Do you think awakening it is worth it or should i just have more generic skills.
depends how much time you spend in axe mode and if poison means that much. it might not
I would argue no. I played a fair amount of swag-axe in P3rd and always felt that sword mode's status application was sufficient.
