I really miss the Ret already! Ret is hands down better for large monsters (which includes many/most bosses...) DK sword is only good when it crits... Other than that its just a glorified Tsu with some hit bonus (that a high level knight doesnt need, I didnt even miss with Ret which had no hit bonus...)<br /><br />The only thing I am enjoying about DK sword is being able to wear my +7SoE again and having my AC back... But with a heal slave 95% of the time AC isnt that important really. And I dont even use the shield in PvP (because taking it off to equip stun sword strips me of my haste at same time, so I just leave it off the entire time to simplify the process..)<br /><br />I havent gotten to test it against Lich or some of my other favorite bosses, but I anticipate it will not be great.... It was only mediocre on DI spirits... Lich used to take me 140-160 pots with Bkat a long time ago... Then I got it down to only 90-100 pots with Ret.... I think DK sword will put me back up closer to 150pots to take him down. And I have a feeling Grim is going to spank me...<br />One place DK sword absolutely rocked and seemed to crit every few swings, was FI. So I may be spending a lot of time there. (Although I fell in love with 40f over the weekend so may be there instead, or back and forth.)<br /><br />I havent tested in PvP yet, looking forward to that soon.<br /><br />Sk8's final conclusion...<br /><br />+9Maph Ret > +7 Dk Sword in 90% of scenarios...Sk8http://www.blogger.com/profile/00756649170845687045noreply@blogger.com
