Re: To n00b WARs: you are not a PLD
WAR has a B in just about everything, including Dagger, Club, and Staff. Do you think a WAR can do good damage with those? That's exactly my point...granted, it's more extreme, but it gets the point accross - anything that isn't Axe or Great Axe just isn't optimal. That aside, not using Axe or Great Axe will have negative repercussions in the future, seeing as you NEED them if you want to play WAR seriously. Also, Great Axe has most of the bases covered for skillchains: Breaks will close Fusion, Iron Tempest will close Distorion, Sturmwind will close Fragmentation. The only level 2 skillchain it doesn't close is Gravitation, which is rarely ever done and only a few WS are of the Compression type anyways. The only thing sword offers is being able to open Fusion; the only thing GS or Polearm offers is being able to open Distortion and Fragmentation; the only thing Scythe offers is being able to open Fragmentation. Honestly, I'd rather just use my most effective weapon, closing the skillchains, or even just solo Breaks (because they're that good.) Moreover, noone is going to expect me to carry any of those weapons; if they need one of those WS so bad, they'll get someone else to perform them. Finally, at low levels, swords, spears, and zaghnals suffer from low DMG, and Lances/Scythes (real ones) are unavailable to WAR.
EDIT: Oh yeah, and like I've said many times before, the damage on Sturmwind or the damage done as a result of Shield Break's Evasion -40 outweigh almost anything any other weapon has to offer. I think the only reason you wouldn't want to use Great Axe at those levels is to be able to use a shield (with Axe) to mitigate damage.
does anyone notice that everyone on the thread is saying the samething but arguing lmao. I want this ws cuz of this sc but i hate that weapon even tho it does good sc. War is versitile people and if you havent noticed on your servers no to players play any job the same way so why is it a big deal if someone doesnt use the weapon YOU want you say its all about the party but its not the whole pt complaing or they would leave right? So you just think that your right and they are wrong. War can use almost any weapon so why tell them they are wrong for taking advantage if they werent suppose to use a weapon the it wouldnt be on the combat skills list for war. Just relax and worry about your job on the game people not someone else if they dding or tanking good then why change what they are good at so you can feel better.
and the big point was about taru plds which almost every person here missed. Taru plds rock they have the ability to keep hate alot better then most plds due to them taking slightly more damage and with the higher mp it saves ne one from getting hit tho in dunes they really dont show as well as they truely are, due to being a low level or not having proper gears.
oh and ghetto plds are one of the "only in the dunes" comments that you should enjoy and laugh about not freak out. And wouldnt a war/whm with a sword and shield basically be learning a bit more about pld, and then be better off as a pld down the road.
