Who thinks Katanas look more sexy than Blades?

Cmon, I know there's at least a few people here who think the Katana looks better than the Blade, especially the Osm/RedOsm Katanas.

Show your Katana love; it doesn't get enough around here.

I think blades look better.

Would you take the hit in DEX to wear a Blade just because you think it looks better?

Either way you're only comparing 68 points, 340 str (blade) - 272 str (katana)

68 * .125 (def gain per str) = 8.5 def
68 * .15 (def gain per dex) = 10.2 def
68 * .1 (magic per str) = 6.8 magic
68 * .25 (magic per dex) = 17 magic
68 * .1 (def rate per str) = 6.8 def rate
68 * 1.0 (def rate per dex = 68 def rate
68 * .24 (atk per str) = 16.32 atk
68 * .23 (atk per dex) = 15.64 atk

dex gives 1.7 def, 10.2 magic, 61.2 def rate
str gives .68 atk

Cannot compare other factors such as armor pieces such as forcium because it will raise your int.

TL;DR - Doesn't make a difference, stop acting like it does.

just math it and think about it, the whole blade/katana argument is old now..

Except I wasn't asking for a statistical difference, I was merely asking which one people around here think looks better.

Let's say you do stat for Blades though. Would you be kicking yourself if you didn't wear an Armorsuit along with the Blade, since you would have the strength to do so at that point. Or would the Battlesuit still be just fine in PvM/PvP even if you had the strength to wear an Armorsuit?

Forget about Blades and Katanas....
Who thinks we need new weapons?

**Berserk_Fury** · 02-07-2011, 09:24 PM

Katanas are cheaper than blades, so unless I get a good blade from a drop I'll probably be sticking with them.

But I don't see why you're turning this into a stat discussion when you only asked about the looks.

I would simply appreciate an answer to my last question.

If you stat for a Blade, should you wear an Armorsuit as well, or would a Battlesuit work just as well still for PvP/PvM?

the difference between osm armor and osm battle is 6 defense, it wont matter.
