Overlord question

Whats the best for an Overlord

a blunt + shield or a staff??

i haven't played an Overlord. i would use the one that has an SA that helps the most(like Health).
i like the blunt shield combo myself.

Depends if you go for the melee aproach or for the mage aproach. Imho, get both, staff for casting, blunt for stunning in pvp.

as said, both can be used. i use a shield/dama-focus atm for pve, nothing for pvp since i aint rich :p

making a SOM acumen for a grade so i can keep the shield, i dont think i need stun i got plenty of moves to keep people away, and maybe later on i`l lget a blunt

I have used the following at one time or another....

Viper Fangs (NG Fist)
Composition Bow (NG bow)
Skullbreaker (D Blunt)
Crimson Sword * Bastard Sword (D Duals)
Flamberge w/Focus (C 2 Handed Sword)
Cursed Staff (C Staff)
Cursed Dagger (C Dagger)
Sword of Whispering Death w/Empower (C Sword)

I am currently trying to get enough mats to have a Hellknife Crafted...

So far I have not found that big of a difference between them, in general though these are my thoughts.

1) Spirits shots do more for your Seals landing than Matk does. You notice a slight increase in your Drains, but you would be better off getting a weapon for Acumen/Conversion than worrying about Matk on it if your trying to find a 'best' weapon.

2) Stun is fine and all that...but in most cases it's just a drain on your MP. If you have MP to burn, go ahead. If you solo, the extra crits non-blunts give is better in my opinion.

3) If you solo, One hander + shield is good.


SO

If your the main buffer/healer....weapon with Conversion is 'best'.

If you AOE....Acumen is 'best'.

If someone else is healing/tanking/buffing...stun is 'best'.

If you solo casually...One handed weapon with a shield is 'best'.

If you want to 'do damage' a dual or two hander is 'best'.


....Now that you know you can cry your way to the poor house. --_--;
