Okay, let's do this.
Lv. 97 (1H) BW White Knight
Pros:
-People are less obsessed with 1H BWs compared to certain swords... (ZOMG RED KATANAS AND THIS IS SPARTAAAAA!!!!)
-Can train anywhere (not quickly necessarily, but reasonably) as long as mobs are elementally weak or can be frozen.
-ZOMG SHIELDS BABY!!!! (Although I don't really see a lot of W.ATK shields in FM often.)
-Power Guard, High HP, and freeze make WKs a forgiving choice if you're clumsy. (You won't likely get 2 shotted by mobs until you begin training at Leafre mobs.)
Cons:
-The range for 1H BW is extremely short. (This makes mobbing at places like Wolf Spiders quite annoying.)
-Unstable damage due to BW formulas.
-Not as many scrolled BWs to be found in FM because of the lack of obsession.
-Slow movement, dependent on speed gear and speed pills to keep up. (Low DEXers don't really have this luxury if they need to wear accuracy gear to train wherever they do.)
-Lack of range in general with mobbing. (I envy how I/Ls can freeze things behind them, while I have to position myself so the mobs are in a nice straight line.)
