i use both :/
cut is like an extra lion shout, a bit weaker but it works to finish monster so i can light nuke + shout, fire nuke + cut, and not have any cool downs

Same here, I have both. I find that I use cut more in pvp because of the better range, but shout alone should be sufficient for pure int s/s.

shout for sure
you won't get much damage out of devil cut as a pure int because your str is really really low.
unless you are hybrid, which needs both, that's a different story since hybrid have some str, you get more damage on a imbued cut blade then a imbued shout. also the low mp cost is a +
proven by me

when i was playing my int s/s hybrid
unless you are going hybrid get shouts only

Cut also does a little more damage, but for pve the splash of shout is more suited.

For pure int I would go for lion shout the splash is great and the damage is great.
For hybrid I would go for the blade cut, mainly because since a hybrid has more phy attack the crits on the cuts will produce more damage overall using cuts then the shout would.

Hey well guy i have to disagree with most of u..
i have a lv 65 9 gap farming pure int s/s 117% mag balance and i have both
evil cut and heaven lion shout.. well shout has range but cut blade does morre dmg the shout especially when u crt.
In higher lvls u will want some extra hp so u need str on ur equip which rizes the dmg of cut again overall i do about 2.2k at devil eye lv 70 wit hshout 2.6k with evil cut and over 3k when evil cut crts.
That what i gt say to this topic^^hope it helps

but let's not forget the bicheon skills need imbue to be powerful for a int. so if your imbue runs out it's much better to just use a shout than imbue+cut (imbue is very mp hungry).
PS: i use sword dance instead... a bit aoe and more powerful than cut.

get snake dance its like a SHout, but it splits the damage into 3 parts
