I've seen a Brandish - Bonus VS slime very high in AH today, asking for 100Gs +
Regardless of the price, when it is transformed into a nightblade, is it a very good weapon against JK? Does the very high bonus help a lot?
If consider about the price, does it worth?
Brandish - Bonus VS slime very high
I don't know I rather like a FF Fiend Very High and my BTB Beast Very High, The extra edge particularly for Devilites, is nice, and a fraction of the cost an ASI would have gone for.
Oolon, Thefirstgamer's point is that many sworders use armor, shield, and trinkets to obtain damage bonus Maximum! against all enemies. Once you do that, a damage UV against slimes becomes superfluous.
Ceduna, that would be a very strong weapon against the Royal Jelly. But how strong of a weapon do you need against him? If you have 100,000 crowns sitting around, then aren't you past the point of worrying about RJ?
As far as that specific price goes, I don't know. I'm not in that market.
If I were you, I would get a CTR or Gremlin UV on your Nightblade instead.
The ideal armor and shield for Royal Jelly (or any Slime stratum for that matter) is full Skolver with a Barbarous Thorn Shield. That armor and shield will give you a maximum sword damage bonus, so Slime VH is kind of pointless.
On the other hand, the ideal armor for most gremlin levels is elemental, usually Vog. Those armors do not give a sword damage bonus, so a Gremlin UV would actually be very useful on a Nightblade.
However, the UV that would be useful for both Slimes and Gremlins is CTR. Not surprisingly, CTR is, by far, the most expensive UV for Brandishes.
My loadout for Royal Jelly Palace is:
Skolver Cap and Coat
Barbarous Thorn Shield
Acheron (UV: CTR Low)
Combuster (UV: CTR Low)
Polaris (UV: ASI Medium)
[Another weapon I am heating]
CTR Trinket
ASI Trinket
I've done RJP many, many times, and this loadout works fine. CTR Low Brandishes are very cheap on the Auction House (around 5-10k crowns). No need for crazy UVs to do Royal Jelly Palace.
so no one is actually recommanding a slime UV. Right.
But it is just a question i wanted to ask, I don't have that money, though...LOL
Now, damage bonuses against enemies tend to not go for much - The Brandish is very handy for UVs, though.
A Slime VH would be worth 100K on a Brandish, but in terms of usage, it won't do you much good if you plan on using gear to increase Sword damage (Wolver lines, etc)
In the end, you should look for CTR UVs (And ASI if you can find them on the CTR ones as well) As damage bonus VS Monster UVs tend to become useless after a while.
