ok the other day im playing some sro, slowly trying to grind to lvl 32 and i come up with a thought. i am pure str and im dealing crap damage as all pure strs do. So i thought to myself " if i equip myself with a sword insted of a blade next lvl would the increase in the magical damage given from the sword be enough to cover the loss of physical damage and produce an overall increase in damage?"

I myself am not able test this out myself as a have a lvl 32+4 blade and the only way for me to test it is to get a sword at +4 with the exact same raitings, which im not willing to do. i could test this out with the 2 base lvl 32 weapons, but i dont want to waste the money as i only have 2.5 million left.

So what i am asking is for someone who can test this for me. If someone could get a base weapon sword and blade and test with an imbue (preferably cold as it dosnt do the extra damage effect as fire and dosnt reduce parry ratio like lighting). If someone takes up my task u will have to take into the account parry ratio's and do an average from 100 hits. And if someone could do this could they please try it with a full str. If someone can please do this for me it would be much appricated. ( an obviously write your results)

Thank you all for your time ( sorry for the bad grammer, i tried to edit it)

No it won't. A +2 sword is just as good as a +0 blade for a pure str.
