not a pure class build? Aweso...oh wait, it's a 12/6/2 swash PDK build.
I don't go pure for the sake of being pure. It's not my fault they started adding compelling capstones to classes. I had a Cetus-style centered Kensei, monkcher and plenty of others back when multiclassing was the best option.
Also, only half of the builds I've posted are pure.
Pure:
Fighter, Shuri, Pally, Barb, Warlock, Ranger
Multi:
Wolf, Mech, Assassin, Swash, Monkcher, Pastlife
Are the pure builds better? Or do they just get more attention?

Similar to what I run since swashbuckler was introduced. I love my "Swashguard".
It is hard to do wrong. That's mainly why I didn't post a swash build when they came out.

Ok, it looked OK until I got to the light mace?
Is it a troll post?
At the risk of yet another "I trolled you" - why light mace?
Why not Rapier or something else Five?
http://www.ddovault.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1446957115It is more damage. Like the other guy said, swash stance equalizes the crit profiles of the usable weapons and none of the TF or GS weapons that you use at endgame have an expanded crit to take advantage of so pulverizer puts light mace in the lead. This doesn't preclude you from using any of the excellent keen piercing weapons with expanded crits while leveling (e.g., Tiefling Assassin Blade, Balizarde), but Skullsmasher and Mournlode are also decent choices.

Love how once in a while 5fs posts 'proclamations' of builds. It's like his character generator got broken and is self posting 'builds' without the knowledge of master builder.
Steelstar is the new benchmark for build creation in my book.
Well thought out builds, field tested and explained, both weaknesses and strengths.
Sorry, I don't do write-ups, videos, etc. To be honest, the main reason I post builds is for easy reference. I used to write out everything on paper, but then to often I couldn't find them when reincarnating/leveling and didn't have them with when I wanted to work on them. If people wanted to actually discuss, that would be great, but in practice it's mostly troll drama responses. Still, if you've got questions, I've got answers. This is a minmax DPS build like my others. I believe it to be the best available right now, but I'm not necessarily attempting to convince anyone of that.
