i´m not sure about things to start as a blade guy, so i want to ask to the pros of the forum about good swords
for what i´ve read i need:
-a piercing one , but want i dunno the only i can afford now is snarble barb, but is good?
-a elemental one, but brandish has many variants
-a good shield , in that point i´m completely blind
-about armor, the only thing i know is every body shouting: "wolver, wolver" anywhere, so im sticking to my solid cobalt until i build a decent amount of money
and that is. bye
- yes Snarble barb is good. For piercing swords, there are only 2 optimal choices, which are either Snarble Barb or Flourish (the path without status). The only difference is the charge attack, and both are viable
- for brandish, the only difference, again, is in the charge : they all have the same, but the status is different. Fire do damage, freeze do crowd control, and shock is in between. I would advise fire. There are threads with more detailed information, it's generally a tie for the question "which is better".
- the most populars (for a reason) shield are the Bristing Buckler shield, because of the damage bonus for swords, and Owlite, because it's a reliable elemental shield. Are you going to farm RJP a lot ? If yes, you should take the Bristing Buckler for the time being.
- yes, for swordsman, wolver is optimal, because of the damage bonus, in a game centered about offense and not taking damage in the first place. Cobalt will do until you get more money though.
