Brave Slash

Does Brave Slash work with 1 handed swords? I haven't seen it be used with one and since Shield Mastery was taken out of saders I wondered if they're less 1h friendly.

I see no reason for it not to.

2H Swords typically deal more damage and have a longer reach though, which is probably why most people just stick with them. Not like there's any point in using Shields now that Shield Mastery and Guardian are gone.

Yes, Crusader/Hero skills work with 1h weapons.
