soo Cyclone or Heavy Strike for HLD?

Can't really decide between the two. I use 1h sword + shield for pvp. anyone have some feedback :D?

HS: Knockback, Higher DPS, can run it on mana
Cyclone: Movement, AOE, Lower dps, needs BM gem

Other things to consider

Cyclone

Pros:

cant be stunned or knocked back
Can pass though ice wall
Can move while dealing Damage
Can Destroy traps with cyclone (sometimes)

Cons:

If you trigger a bear trap without destroying it you wont be able to use cyclone

Heavy Strike

Pros:

Can still attack while bear trapped

Cons:

A lot of people have Can not be knocked back on their boots

Cant destroy traps with HS unless you use some ComK setup

Dont want to use elemental gems. Phys damage should be viable and i'll use it until it is :)

Frost wall has either always been bugged or it works as intended. If you get a frost wall ontop of you you'll end up stuck draining your life really fast. Can try this on a master in hideout, same interaction
It's hard to remember what you have forgotten

Ive been having this problem too, not only on frost wall, there seems to be certain objects in the game that you can get stuck on with cyclone and you will get drained, without passing through them or stopping when you get near them.
