I've been leveling a sader recently, and now i'm trying to choose what i should do as far as end game weapons go. my original plan was the buy a 106/107 ST, potential it, then pams song+50% scrolls until perfection, then maybe adv enhance. however, i started reading about how people were saying 2h is going to be worse after bb. i don't know too much about the changes heros have post bb, so i was wondering if making a perfect ST is a bad idea? also, what att sword/shield combo would i need to match or beat it? Edit: i should probably also mention that i already have 50% scrolls, a few white scrolls, and a few pams songs (leftovers from scrolling a sky ski), so the only cost to me would be buying the ST and a 90% potential scroll, if i were to choose 2h. i also have enough dex from equips to use a stonetooth dexless.

The maximum attack on a clean st would be 105 att, just fyi :o And yes, the gap between 1h and 2h swords will be immense come the bigbang patch due the the weapon multipliers narrowing the gap between them. In fact even now, simply due to the fact that you can get more lines of potential on a 1h+shield setup (up to 6 lines of potential) than a 2h sword (only 3 lines of potential maximum), the gap between 1h and 2h have become larger.

[/quote] i'm looking right at a 106 att clean st in the mts right now o.o unless there is a glitch/hack or something.. what 1h/shield combo would be recommended then? funding isn't too big of an issue.

jts743 eww maybe the info in hiddenstreet is wrong then (on that website it says the max attack for a clean st is 105 att xD fail). You'd be looking at a 110~120 att red katana or a 120~13x sparta/executioners with at least a 16 attack shield, but a 20 att+ shield would be ideal. If you can get a potential scroll to pass on your shield and sword, even better. Also apparently red katanas can get 30% boss damage o.o I only found that out yesterday xD (ss here if you're interested) Due to potentials you can also skip getting an attack shield and aim to cube a decent % str shield (and maybe scroll it later) The shield would have to be over level 70 though to be more likely to get good potentials on it, and be sure that it has 3 lines of potential and not 2. About 14% STR would equate to 16 attack, so aim for at least that if you do decide to go for a potentialed shield instead of a scrolled attack shield. Generally attack shields are lower levelled and thus you can't get as good potential on them, so it may be beneficial to make your own high levelled warrior shield and scroll + cube it yourself.

didn't know that red katanas could get 30% boss damage..wow, i might look into one of those. i've been seeing some nice carabellas out there, would they be worth using? if i get a shield, it'll probably be 20-22 att. whats the best % str a shield can get?

lol completely forgot about carabellas, yes they would be an ideal endgame too The best % stats you can get on an equip depends on its level. On any equip: Lvl 1 to 30: Rare = 1%, Epic = 2%, Unique = 3% Lvl 31 to 70: Rare = 2%, Epic = 4%, Unique = 6% Lvl 71 or higher: Rare = 3%, Epic = 6%, Unique = 9% Per line of potential.

Its a lvl 70 item meaning it can have a maximum of 6% per line I was thinking an alien weapon or a reverse sword would be better to potential and cube. The extra attack would probably compensate for the speed lost

NaturalOnes It's a fast 4 weapon, the fastest attacking speed in the game, resulting in higher dpm. And 6% stats is NOT what you should be aiming for. On a weapon you should ALWAYS aim for 30% boss damage when cubing. If you get 30% boss damage on a decently scrolled rk, you will outdamage every other sword thrown at you. I'm not saying that other 1h swords aren't worth it, I'm just saying if you're willing to spend the most money on the best possible weapon, an rk would be the best thing to get over other 1h swords.
