Stereo Wrote:Why set everything else equal? The 1h swords are in general faster than 2h swords, which gives them about an 8% boost in dps, and it's not like you'd use a statless shield. Even a fairly average scrolled warrior shield with 10 str 10 atk is gonna be about a 5% increase in base w.atk, so you only need to identify it with another 5% str to beat the 2h setup.
think you missed my point... which was that the shield + 1h needs to make your range 117% of your 2h range to make up for the smaller multiplier. speed isnt really a point for comparison unless youre talking fast4 swords. fast5 2h exist and are fairly accessible, which negates the advantage of everything but red katana and lunchbox (unless ive been gone faaaar too long).
...are stonetooth prices high again? i stopped soon after the box events that dropped them, coincedentally. thatd do a lot to validate your argument..
