What is the armor piercing value for the Stun Baton? Does anyone know how good they can get now that they have that added component? Is this the only 1h sword that doesn't do kinetic damage?

Lastly what weapon do people use and how good can you find them? On my server (Eclipse) I'm having a very hard time finding 1h swords that are comparable damage wise to any of the other weapon types in the game really (even VK's are starting to get better damage on them now). I currently use a curved sword that is 78-169ish speed 1.8 (sliced down from 2.3) and while this is nice I've seen noticably better weapons of each of the other types (2hswords, polearms, all guns). I was wondering is that common that the 1h swords are just weaker?

Your 1H curved is as good as any I've seen or used on Bloodfin. In combat I use the older style vibroblade with the lower HAMs than the advanced core ones. I like being able to spam hit3 without killing myself. The only time I pull out the curved is when I'm berserking on high HAM, unarmored creatures, or if I'm passing through a town for looks.

I don't think the stun batons have any armor piercing per se. I thinkthe damage reduction on armored creatures applies to them if they are not 100% vulnerable to stun damage.You are correct in that they are the only non-kinetic sword.

The stun batons are indeed AR0.

With advanced reinforcement cores, they do like an extra 30/30 damage, and are .4 faster or so. HAM costs are higher. My server's down so I can check, but it's a DEFINITE improvement.

The stun batons don't pierce armor, but I don't think armor resists stun at all, or not much...only PSG.

Anyhow, I use a Vibroblade at a 2.5speed with 91-170ish damage (master sliced for damage) with HAM costs around 20/20/20

I also have a Ryyk Blade that I equip for mid level mobs sometimes that is 2.5 112-225ish damage...High HAM but I use it when I think I can get a 1-hit kill with a special
