Dont know if thats what he was asking.

Sword~BEtter Magic Atk, LOwer Phys Atk.
Blade~Better Phys atk, Lower Mag Atk.

let me know if that helps.

Here are the specs on the armors.

Armor~High Phys. Defense, not much magic.
Protector~BAlanced, but not high in either mag or phys def.
GArment~Magic defense high, physical defense very low.

Sword = Caster Weapon
Blade = Melee weapon

Early in the game its not so distinct but later you will see the damage differences on the weapons. Nothing says you cant use a sword for melee or a blade for magic btu they arent optimal.

If you had say a Sword with high crit and a Blade wiht really bad crit and the damage differences are minimal.......the Crit will usually pay off more especially if the damage isnt alot different.

can you please elaborate...like if you are pure str and always use ur imbue (fire,cold, or lightning) to attack everytime + your weapon skill, would a sword be better to use than a blade to inflict the most damage???

im not very clear on this issue as i have always been a blade user just b/c i think it looks so much better than a sword :/

so im just curious what the debate would be regarding this issue??

thanks in advance for the replies ^^

They are saying...

since you're PURE Str...it would be in your best interest to invest in a Blade seeing that it deals more Physical Damage...

Pure Int should use a Sword, seeing that it gives more MAg. Damage

use a blade for that. when you attack, there's WAY more damage coming from your weapon or skills than from your imbue. maybe not at lower levels as much, but it gets to be a bigger gap as it goes on.

ok since im pure str/fire/blade&shield

and everytime i attack/approach a mob, i activate my fire imbue as well as one of my bicheon skills to kill the mob.

so with that said, my question is what weapon (sword or blade) would inflict the most damage if i did that???
im not talking about just using my fire imbue and attacking NOR using just my weapon skill to attack...i am talking about using BOTH at the same time...

sword or blade??????? (for example: lets say both sword and blade were same crit and had +3 on both)

Blade, nuff said. You magical balance is low, therefore the amount of damage done by magic is miniscule compared to the physical since you phys balance should be in the 90s

either way...

YOU'RE PURE STR...

so why would you need a sword if you pumping more points into STR...

The Blade is the best choice...
