what's the affect of attack speed on sword DPS? i'm debating between the lvl 64 maple swords (1h and 2h), and i was by how much the faster attack speed helps with covering up the damage formula gap. (i dont mind the range because the swords are for my dawn warrior, and i understood soul blade is the same range for both.)

Asked the same on Sleepy and didn't get answer yet so :
I'm a level 39 Page, i got 3 SP to use and i don't know if i should use them on FA. Are Non-FA builds common with Pages/WKs?

I'd put off FA until the end of 2nd job. It's pretty useless in 2nd job since all you need to do is spam Slash Blast at super mobby places.

Look at http://www.southperry.net/forums/showthread.php?t=3217 and http://www.southperry.net/forums/showthread.php?t=855. They should provide you with enough data calculate it out

Never have less than 15 FA or so. At early levels it does such horrible damage and so rarely that it is not only unpredictable but weak as well. Save until you have 15 or so before using them all at once.

OK then, but should i go Power Guard first or start saving for FA first?

[color="#cc8899"]Hmm - do you find yourself using a lot of potions? If so, PG may help. It's a 40% reduction at max of all touch damage.
If not, and most of your kills are 1v1, then go for FA. However, be aware that it WILL weaken your mobbing ability with slash blast.[/COLOR]

Look at it this way - warriors have the lowest accuracy of any class on average. Regardless of what gear you have, your accuracy will never be more than "oh, that's good, for a warrrior."

Or you will get, "wtp, you must have messed up DEX."

What's a good place for an Aran (just assume PA Spearman I guess) at level 38? I've been at Iron Mutaes and it's been great but there's hackers on every channel.

Depending how strong, Block Golem or Cold Eyes would probably be best for a regular Spearman. Neither is a flat map though so I dunno how that affects combos.

One question:
As my Spearman is approaching DKhood, I have a few questions about my build I plan to undertake.
Here's the build that I plan to do:
Advancement: 1 Spear Crusher (Buster)
Level 71: 2 Spear Crusher (3), 1 PA Fury (1)
Level 72-80: 3 Spear Crusher (Max)
Level 81: 2 PA Fury (3), 1 ER (1)
Level 82-90: 3 PA Fury (Max)
Level 91: 3 Sacrifice (3)
Level 92-97: 3 Dragon Blood (18)
Level 98: 2 Dragon Blood (Max), 1 Dragon Roar (1)
Level 99-104: 3 ER (19)
Level 105: 1 ER (Max), 2 Dragon Roar (3)
Level 106-114: 3 Dragon Roar (Max)
Level 115-120: 1 Power Crash, dunno what to do after. D:
The build is designed so I can quickly get down to where I want to train, notably Himes starting at Level 90 or 100. But I'm always open for suggestions; if you see anything wrong with it, please let me know. Thanks!
Training questions:
1) Is Windraiders good until Level 90?
2) Is Evil Dead ("Elderwraith-infested area" off Forgotten Path) a good mobbing place for PA Fury from Level 90-100? Also, will that prep me for Himes at the same time?

1) you can do better than windraiders in 8x. kents, stormbreakers, wolf spiders, and dual ghost pirates all have similar hp:xp ratios (slightly worse, but more time is spent killing than moving to the next platform).
about the build, if youre hybrid enough to want early fury you might as well get that 1 point at 70 and get it to 3-6 by 72 so it completely replaces slash blast. at wr fury will be much better than weak crusher and you can still max crusher by early-mid 8x and max fury by 90.

I personally went for pure PA fury first, it was amazing exp at WR until I left there at about 79 or so and fought at the stormbreaker map in CWK. I know not many people go up there but I found the exp to be even better than WR albeit more expensive. Just circle around the map clearing everything out(if you go there its pretty obvious how to cycle through it) I stayed there until I was ready for himes at around 92-93 I think it was.
Also, never tried the Evil Dead map but I don't think that the exp you would be getting there is better than you could get at the stormbreaker map I mentioned. Anyways, good luck to you and hope I helped slightly.
