Thread: 'Advanced weapons' aren't any better than a sword
Have a 45-145 2.7 ryyk blade that was crafted my Macross (also on LOWCA) but got it sliced down to 2.3 attack speed ![]()
If you're on Bloodfind and lookfing for a good sword, check with Caella. She is selling advanced 1-handed curved swords now that are very nice. the stats are:
68-174 damage, 2.4 speed. (Unsliced).
I'll probably stick with this sword for a long time. The rantok is not in the game yet (besides Jabba quest), and the Ryyk swords are fubar on their to-hit modifiers and HAM cost. Ever notice how horrible the hit penalties are on Ryyk swords?
One thing to consider is that armor rating will drastically lower your damage, so you might be better off in PvP going with a vibroblade.
Player made armor has an armor rating of 1 (composites can be higher). Vibroblades have an armor piercing rating of 1 - meaning they will do normal damage against most armor. All other 1handed weapons have 0 armor piercing, giving them a 25% damage penalty against player armor. This also means that a vibroblade will get a 25% damage bonus against an unarmored person.
I just carry a Vibro and a Curved sword, and switch out as needed. FYI, inspecting mobs before you attack and noting the armor rating and kinetic resists will save you from accidentally attacking that melee imune giant beetle ![]()
