S&B GS bastard swd, your fav or best recipe

[Captain_Wizbang]

Just curious. I've got 5 S&B tanks, all with gs bastard swds in one form or another.

What would you make, if you only had 1 choice?

This question was raised 2 nights ago, with a newer player in a pug. (I had a trip poss & + 5 mithral tower.)

I couldnt give him a direct answer, as most answers are situational.

So, I told him to look for this post to get the feel of the community.

My preferances..

1)Min2 is probably your most versitile weapon with keen/metalline and extra's. and which ever option for holy or good burst you prefer, either will give you a good all round damager.

2) Lightning strike weapon is likely more damge overall (inconsistant) and some mobs are lighning immune like DQ.

3) 3xPos after the above 2 (raise dead clickie and portal/skelly beater..blunt preferred) I generally dont get past 2nd tier for this one.
