dex or attack ring & sword or blade

[L3r0y~J3nk1n$]

Considering PvE only...
Sword gives more dex so an atk ring works ok with club/sword.
With club/blade, dex ring is probably better, since both weps are rather clumsy.

However...
The skills fb and ss always hit, if you aim correctly. Your dex is not important for these skills. Further, one-hand weps have a very short range and it's hard to melee with them, therefore direct hits aren't much of an issue. So, most tros use an atk ring and fight with fb/ss. Compare that to a warrior using a two-hand wep...they definitely want a dex ring to improve the chance of a direct hit.

@Zangetsu: atk and dex ring have the same bonus values for composition. I.e. a +4 atk ring and a +4 dex ring give the same additional damage, although composing a dex ring is cheaper. Also, dex does not make you attack faster, and sword is no faster than blade. Frequency is the rate at which you attack (swing the weapon). Dexterity affects how many of those swings hit the target. So, dexterity influences the hit rate, not the attack rate. The reason a sword appears to be faster is that it hits more often due to a higher dexterity/agility rating, but the frequency is the same.

Pending on ur class if ur an archer ud want dex ring but seeing as ud want blade or sword ur eather Worrior or Trojan Now with melee class Dex rings are strait up less attack witch doesnt help eather class So ud deffinatly want a good Attack ring...


As for sword or blade, Blades strait up have more attack than swords but is good when u wanna kill fairly fast and Use Fast blade to have strong attack for a bit of range...


But then swords have Pheonix skill as well as Scent Sword making it very versitle ANd seeing as Pheonix when fixed is 2nd strongest skill in the game compaired to other fixed (Penatration dagger skill behing the 1st best) So "Nix" does hit really quit ofton when meleeing with is good for pking when u run out of stamina u can always close ranger ur opponent fairly easy...


SO between blade and sword it really depends on How you Level....If u mainly Tg u should go with blade for more attack for more exp but if u Grind alot as in lvling majoirty of the time your on TG then Deffinatly go with swords....

Good luck and im glad i could help =)
