What's with the Keshanberk?

General Discussion Started Last reply 55 posts
I see keshanberks being featured everywhere: C3 splash screen, C5 splash screen, C5 loading screen... Guess it was some dev's pet design.
hmm wonder that to but the Kes*Kes duels suxs [censored]
kesh*kesh duals make my BD what he should be IMO, huge DD, i'll take the +8% attack spd anyday over any other duals, and they look so ****! *hate useing duals of 2 diff swords, wish S duals were 2x DLE*
Keshs just look good. =)
they do look good, but after useing sls*sls for 9 levels and how **** they look *love curved swords, so pleasing on the eyes* it took a while to get acustomed to my kesh's *lets face it, looks just don;t compare to an extra 4% atk spd*
The SLS is certainly one of the best-lloking swords in the game - but I would probably use dual Tsus over dual SLS, just for the superior SA. =)
It's unfortunate that the best duals in the game (yay S grade) combine the best and worst looking weapons in the game.
One of the better looking swords, and a more believable sword is the Berserker Blade. And personally, I'm kind of partial to longer, straight duals. They are, for one, easier to handle. And more often than not they are much lighter than curved swords, and offer a wider range of motion. o.o

Correction, the best duals in the game combine swords that cannot be found anywhere else but those duals (Infinity Wings). They are, in my opinion, awesome looking.
heh, they way mt tats were set up, and based on looks of the swords, the sls were an obvious choice for me, gogo massive atk spd ;) but hey, different strokes for different ppl right?
Oh, this isn't about realism.

I figure if my elfin can climb a steep slope in that skirt and on those shoes, she has no problem wielding anything as a weapon.

If your elf is going to be climbing a hill in a skirt I'll be sure to watch your back....




In case you fall, ya know. I hear climbing is hella hard in heels.
I hear climbing is hella hard in heels. LOL

I would never give up my crit duals for attack speed, my BD is a heavy hitter. +8% attack speed would be nice tho :p
+4 dex +4 str - 8 con, tallum heavy, +4 or more dual kesh + dances and haste 2 potion = 684 atk spd
its not very good for pvp, but if you solo it 'hella' pwns

wait, why did i say hella? is that new fad about to start up? lol
Yes. Hella will now sweep these boards like a plague of destruction! And I caused it! BWAHAHAHAHA!
Tsu*SLS FTW.
I understand that they're slightly more practical, but they're also twenty times more ugly than Tsu*Tsus. Getting focus SA is worth the blow to style - getting a bit of PAtk isn't.

IMHO.
you all are missing the ultra cool and great atk power of the dual dama.....and best looking duals around, they just look mean
Damas are ugly.
damas are....
1. ugly
2. crappy SA
3. not much more powerful, and less compared to my +6 kesh's

even if both sets of duals are +4 i'm sure the kesh set-up would beat the dama set-up

an ugly set of duals is kesh, they look like they will break with the first swing, not a whole lot to them. Who is going to +6 their kesh's? only someone that has mulitple million upon millions to spare. The atk on Kesh's is weak, and everyone can use more accuracy. 307 atk on a pair of duals at only +4 is huge, you are better off +6'ing the dama's and get the more atk out of them then waisting your time with +6 kesh's to only get close to the 307 atk dama's have. Dama's are thick and mean...
i don;t need accuracy at all, i don;t use my accuracy dance.
and i do have hundreds of millions to spare towards the cause up plusing them some more. i have seen alot more high plused kesh's than i have dama's ever

and get real man, +8 atk spd makes up for the lack of patk easily, try to compare, you can't. well, maybe i should cut u slack, maybe you don;t know that bd's prefer kesh's and glads like dama's cuz they are so gimp, is your main a glad or a BD? if not, no argument on your side

as far as a BD goes
kesh > dama anyday
But a +6 kesh*kesh has more DPS. A %8 raise in attack speed means more chances to hit, therefore more chances to crit. Crit damage is the only damage in melee.
I understand for a thos class's that have dual masteries that either one of the other A duals is better than dual Dama's but for those class's that don't have masteries and are a DD then atk is best, +6 dama's and +6 kesh's shouldn't even be compared, I dont know what the atk on either of them at +6 is but for a class not dependent on duals dama's are best for the extra atk.
+16 TSA*SLS works for me with 344 Patk and 184 Matk and the 52 increase to critical - I have not had a chance to try Kesh*Kesh but I would be hard pressed to assume that the increase in atk speed would outweight my Patk and damage i can do with these red duals
Dam*Dam is a Crapest duels i ever seen i OUT damge it with Tsu*Tsu they are **** and Massive damage rate i think only very high enchent Kes*Kes can out damage a enchent Tsu*Tsu what use do it have to have a Atk.Spd of 1000 when you only hit for 10 damage =P
I agree about the 1000 atk speed and hitting for 10 dmg. I guess the theory goes...the more accuracy you have the more you hit the more you kill.
That only applies to extreme damage.

Remember, the damage you do is calculated per hit, not over time. The faster you swing the more chances you roll a critical hit. 10x10=100, but 8x12=96. So faster swings also equal more damage in the long run.
Actually, PAtk * ASpd directly reflects your DPS before criticals. Criticals, however, skew this picture, as they do so much more damage than a regular swing - at equal PAtk, to make up for a single crit you didn't do, you would have to swing 4 or 5 times extra - and I would bet that the dual Tsus have more extra crits than the Kesh*Keshs have extra swings.
Of course they have more crits, but they weren't in my example, so blargh.

but the dual kesh has a lot more patk than a dual tsu. even the sual sls has more patk, so they aren't that easily comparable.
but they are a +7 Tsu*Tsu is same P.atk as Kes*Kes it's not requested to have a +15 to have same damage output
and they eat A like a insane fliping machine compare to a Tsu*Tsu +7 with use cheap B SS witch overrules with Critical damage
And I'm talking from a non-dual using class that doesnt have crit dance or songs, so for players like us the more patk and more accuracy is better.


Abisha- not meant to be replying to you
now why sud a none duel class player use duels???????
I've always been saying that, I think

It's unfortunate that the best duals in the game (yay S grade) combine the best and worst looking weapons in the game.



Never understood why they just didn't make it DLE*DLE...

kesh*kesh duals make my BD what he should be IMO, huge DD, i'll take the +8% attack spd anyday over any other duals, and they look so ****! *hate useing duals of 2 diff swords, wish S duals were 2x DLE*



Dual Kesh are not the ultimate DD duals. Go overenchant some SLS*TSU and see the difference. ;)

now why sud a none duel class player use duels???????



Why non-archers use bow?
Why do D grade duals exist then, when noone has masteries for them yet?

hmm lets see D grade means 20 to 40 few skills to comprimise also D grade is like still learn level for players witch way they like to go :P
also with the bows when i see a healer with bow's or duels they have the skills for it :P called weapon mastery

To make a fair comparison, you would also have to OE the kesh's to the same OE as the tsu*sls, and honestly, as a BD who has tried different types of duals with SA's kesh*kesh is the DD weapon of choice.

As for who ever said *** is too expensive, if you can't afford *** you shouldn't be able to afford dual kesh. when ur talking about that much adena for a wepaon, it generaly means you have someway of generateing adena at a semi fixed rate, i make easily 30mil+ a week selling top D Weapons while i'm not home, that buys ALOT of ***
hmm selling Top D weapons from crafting not from your duels meaning they comsume more then they give :P alwas a bad bisness
who said anything about crafting the weapons? mammon is the key, easy 500k profit per weapon i sell, no sweat off my back :P
For bd's and their dances I can see why +4 keshs' are best
+4 str +5 dex +tallum heavy +dances and song... by default my atk speed and atk power not to mention my critical rate is already very high. I used tsu/sls vs sls/sls same enchantment and i can easily say my atk speed guarantees me a solid stable and very hard hitting critical rate.

TSU however with the weaker patk but nice critical, i don't see all that much difference in the critical outcome, course critting up to 12 times on a mob vs similare stats against both duals.

I won't disagree that the tsu has a high critical chance, but the problem is that it's still chance. My luck is terrible, when i need that "chance" to be now, never happens.

I'm still working on making some keshes... they keep blowing up on me the moment i try to +4 them... tiss a sad brutal day.
here is my XP i got with a BD
picture 1 is no Buffs at all
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j280/abishe/none.jpg
picture 2 is only with buff's of a SE
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j280/abishe/buffsnodance.jpg
and last one is buffed and danced
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j280/abishe/withSEanddance1.jpg
now you can see why SA on duels is the most inportend part in this game i Critical mostly out of 3 hits at least 1 time on white targets also i almost never miss target expect dark red critters
ALL about critical damage
hmm with a normaal spd potion i get a atk.speed of around 550+- have been age's sinds i used them
it's a bit hard to compare sinds i basicly a dagger dude with duels
thread derailed, from artwork to focus x haste discussion in 2 posts...
even the "Art" work of the Keshanberk sux's ***
even a Katana looks better i mean look close to the swords of keshanerk HOW the **** is it supoce to be a sword they so long they can better be called claymore the art work of them supoce to be D or something

wish S duals were 2x DLE*


agreed u just cant mix a long, thin blade and a short, fat blade it doesnt look good =/

kesh*kesh duals make my BD what he should be IMO, huge DD, i'll take the +8% attack spd anyday over any other duals, and they look so ****! *hate useing duals of 2 diff swords, wish S duals were 2x DLE*



hehe try an extra 16% attack speed with dual kesh and tallum I can get 713 attack speed on my bd with haste 2 and zerk, no dex tats,

I use dual kesh when Im DDing and Dama Kesh for hp when Im tanking works out beutifly.

Besides the DLE Kesh are awsone looking swords. I jsut wish they would come out with DLE*DLE :/
I for being a Duelist would choose a Duel kesh over a Dam/Dam or sls/tsu any day. Having 925 atkspeed with no dex tats is insane.

I webt when I saw that the Dam/Dam got +4 acurasy SA. and the blade of the sword looks cool but the hilt is its downfall IMO. It ruins the sword.
Also prays to god that when they eventually make a DLE/DLE dual that it gets a FOCUS/CRITDAMAGE/HASTE SA combined like the HP/CP/MP SA of the DLE/Tallum :)

try extra +16%? if you would have seen my screenshot or possibly botherd to read all my posts in this thread, you would know that your toon has what seems to be the exacts set up as mine, yes, i wear tallum heavy, in the SS i don;t have zerk, but with it, ya, i clear 700 atk spd just like you, so rly, there is nothing to 'try'
Atk speed and crit chance are the same improvement to combat. Atk faster = more crit chances

While the tsu/sls crits more than kesh/kesh, the damage is pretty even due to the immense difference in patk. Obviously, in pvp, the kesh/kesh will dominate due to the 20% damage modifier as well. Still, for pve, tsu/sls overenchanted will bring home more dps for weapon price. But, it's pretty simple to state that A weapons with SA > B weapons with SA for pvp.
hehe, i forgot bout the pvp bonus, hehe
