![]() Someone who likes the class more could likely offer more insight on this subject.īut I'm not a fan of Crusader because of randomness and as such I generally try to avoid it, so I could be missing something. However unlike multiclassing two spellcasting classes, half your other class will count for your Initiator level.īut I'm not a fan of Crusader because of randomness and as such I generally try to avoid it, so I could be missing something. Its just like multiclassing two spellcasting classes. Yes only the maneuvers known and readied by your Crusader levels will refresh via the crusader method. So picking up Crusader to get the prereqs seems a solid enough choice.īut to answer the other question. Given the maneuvers and the like available to both Warblade and Eternal Blade I imagine if you aren't going Diamond Mind you'd concentrate on White Raven with your Warblade and Utility maneuvers to boost it. And really the only reason I can see going Crusader 2 is to get this and take advantage of it, otherwise Warblade 9 seems to be a better value.ģ) If you haven't already gotten your prereqs for Eternal Blade its a quick and easy way to pick them up. As Warblade and Eternal Blade both have bad Will saves, getting a boost to your Will saves can really help. Specifically Vanguard Strike, Defensive Rebuke, and Thicket of Blades.Ģ) Indomitable Soul strikes me as important if you have good Cha. So pick the maneuvers/stances that remain good regardless of level or initiator level. Meaning you don't have to actively renew them, they just do their own thing even if you don't use them. Making it longer by increasing its size will lower its swing speed and handling for extra length, which is largely an unneeded stat, and a slight damage boost.Looking at the classes and options in question I'd say it comes down to a few things.ġ) The Crusader recovery method is automatic. Changing the blade to make it shorter would make it deal almost half the damage and lose its shield bonus for an insignificant amount of extra swing speed and handling. ![]() It has the highest stats that are achievable and needed for a siege battle. Using a two-handed sword WOULD be the highest DPS of all in siege battles, but it is more risky than a one-handed sword since you have no shield.īack on topic, this is the ultimate one-handed sword. There's literally no point in using a glaive in a siege battle regardless of the situation. Also, this sword is fast enough to land two swings (possibly killing 2 enemies) where a glaive would land one, all while equipping a shield and being effective against breaking shields itself. Glaives are too long to be used effectively in siege battles. This is for siege battles and bandit raids. You aren't supposed to fight on foot on normal fights. Originally posted by The Big Brzezinski:But, in a melee, I'd rather have a saber so I can block with a shield. The weapon somehow ended up looking great, not clownish thankfully. There was zero bias regarding the appearance of the components used. The stats in the screenshots are the "base" stats of the weapon. My smithing skill isn't high enough yet to showcase the maximum possible stats, sadly. You can get much higher stats with the "Legendary Smith" perk, of course. (An exception: there's a grip component that can provide +1 extra swing speed but reduces damage by 3 and reach by 6. I spent 2 hours going through all the parts checking for the absolute fastest components. The other parts are picked and weighed down such that it can get the highest swing speed and handling that is achievable with that blade, which is also weighed down. It also provides a bonus against shields! Poor axes no longer have a single advantage. It uses the "Highland Decorated Blade" because it has the highest swing damage factor there is. On the other hand, one-handed swords reign supreme in on-foot combat because of their convenient swing speed, handling, being not too long for congested sieges or too short that you need to hit point blank, and being able to equip shields for protection against projectiles or multiple attacks from different directions. If you do though, please provide your argument.įor refrence, the Thamaskene Steel Spatha vs my custom sword (Zulasjad):Ī sword should not be used on horseback because glaives are a much better alternative in terms of range and damage. It's not 100% objective, so you might disagree with me and that's okay. Disclaimer: I'm going to provide my personal reasoning as to why I firmly believe that this is the best one-handed sword in the game.
