We already have low level versions, cold snap, firecracker, etc etc, but don't you think the nitromine line should have a status branch?

Spur is somewhat depressing, normal damage, flashy animation, but it has no kick, nothing truly amazing. Give it some fire, shock, or even stun.

And the cutter... It's exquisite, and terrifying in skilled hands. But so far, all it has is a poison variant. Don't try to include the FOV, it doesn't swing like a cutter, and it should.

Give us a shock and ice variant of this magnificent beast, and don't be stingy on the damage this time

Fire could be added to Irontech line, because you know, Gremlins love fire (and shock, but no shock plz).

The Cutters are fine the way they are. DVS is perfect for any striker-situations. Much like Valiance, and BTB paired with EV. FoV is fine the way it is too. You should get a Combuster if you don't want slow attack speed or suicidal charges.

However, OOO made themselves clear through CONSTANT ignorance that the Winfinity should be cut and never mentioned in another meeting related to SK. I would support the Winfinity if OOO would show at least SOME affection towards the Spur lines, and we, your paying customers that are the main foundation of SK, have been asking for a Winfinity since who-knows-how-long and really want it. We don't care if you screw it up completely like the Sun Shards. Just make it!

Also I hope the Guntastrophe will bring a new Valiance branch. +1 on your ideas.

I dislike the brandish lines,

I dislike the brandish lines, the fang is just a Levi with a cutter skin, and the actual cutter lines, need some brothers. They should be on par with the brandishes status wise, brandish is a heavy, three swing range attack sword... Cutters require you to get close, and they have no natural cancel effect until near the end of the volley. They're a fast, ruthless class, and needs more attention

Cutters?

I'm a huge cutter nerd. Notice how WHB wasn't defended? Fantastic looking sword, okay when used solo (interrupt), matches DVS abilities with Makeraith, but when you're in T3 with a full party you don't kill jack in a full combo, you get hit almost always when trying to finish full combo, and you don't interrupt anything besides... what mini jellies- maybe the new mini monsters too? I need to reintroduce my cutter thread more organized...

gods ain't gonna help you, son.

I'm a huge cutter nerd too. you should use DVS over WHB, WHB was designed specifically for beasts. I really mean it, I would prefer it to DBB if only it had some more damage. DVS is fast enough to make you hit and retreat, even without asi. it also has poison, useful for many situations. I agree that they need a buff, but only in damage.

Whb has an effect which dvs

Whb has an effect which dvs does not. It juggles. At least from what I was told. I also dislike the effects of poison, I feel it's less of a challenge with it.

it really helps with the risky nature of DVS. yes, WHB has interruption on the charge, if you are brave enough or a calculating risk-reward machine enough to use it.

well... my WHB is maxed on

well... my WHB is maxed on all sides... damage, charge, and ASI. so i think it's pretty decent. hasn't failed me yet, and it's amazing at greaver control

I thought someone called me...

That person's name is too similar to mine... ._.

I have my normal DVS and it's pretty decent.
well, it has a construct low, but that's beside the point.

WHB vs DVS

I have both, my DVS has vs Slime Bonus. I have Vog Set, and use SSB. I have 2 UVs on my WHB High vs Slime and Med vs Undead then natural VH (or High) vs beasts, plus 2x elite slash modules. I feel confident in using both weapons but WHB is cooler looking and more fun to use. DVS is better in damage output... but if that's what I was concerned with I'd switch weapons :P

WHB: Max vs Slime Undead and Beast; VH vs everything else, and ASI max

EDIT: DVS is only better damage output by a little. It doesn't poison often enough to really make a significant difference when you have a maskeraith (and use it).
