Question About Great Swords

what's the best great sword for drk war and pld Aside form relic.
i already have a broken subduer. just looking for options mainly using it for drk

Algol is pretty nice as well as Naglering. Second one might be a bit easier to get if your LS doesn't camp Cerberus.

Scythe > GS for Drk anyway. So, I wouldn't bother except on the rare occasion you need to use something to sc with someone to break a weapon or another 'non-damage' scenario.

And yeah, the Subduer's gonna be your best DoT on a GS btw.

well i am a taru so GS does about the same or a bit more damage for me. i have a MUCH higher int then mnd

Try parsing a Perdu Sickle vs. Subduer with the same gear for TP'ing and gearing each for their respective ws's with atk/str/mnd/int/etc. I'm putting my money on Perdu.

need to get perdu first lol only 66 drk

Subduer is the best nonrelic. roflAlgol and roflNagerling.

GS is only situationally useful for DRK anyway :/

dont base weapon choices off secondary mods for their weapon skills. a Taru will do better with scythe in the same situations any other race will.

Martial Sword is also a great choice

Not 6-hit friendly.

If you're /SAM with a GS, Naglering is probably your best bet as it's very easy to get a 6-hit with. Algol basically forces the use of an STP body, ie Askar or Aurum. If you're /NIN instead the 444 delay GS may be marginally better, depends on hits to WS among other things. Don't have to be /SAM to have an x-hit.

What the *** is with all the 3-month necros lately, or has it always been like this and I've just forgotten?

Cruadin is really good in Campaign Battles.
