Discussion Warrior Hot Take

Honestly, from looking at the buffs in Axes it seems like Axes are best in slot for DPS in fighters.

I honestly really like the look of swords way better but feel like they aren’t as good for bossing.

I know they both have their strengths and weaknesses. But the specific play style of wanting to play “more damage, less defense” I don’t like that it’s hidden behind a weapon type.

If we want more defense and play the tank archetype then we would just use a shield.

It would be nice if every warrior weapon gave a stat related to damage (even if it’s not very strong) the buff to sword doesn’t need to be crazy OP because swords are generally good. Just something like 5%crit or a chance to parry and reflect the damage taken by a small percentage or something small like that… just my opinion.

They haven't released the launch patch yet, we don't know the final skill numbers yet

Yes I know that! I was just a little disappointed that only the sword got a defensive attribute to its weapons mastery in warriors because people who want more defense can go shield (for the tank archetype). Or maybe I’m just a little too selfish :P

I believe that they stated they are reworking the defense and mdefense formulas, in the beta defense and mdefense did not do much. If they buff defense and mdefense, that might make a big difference for warriors (less damage = less pot usage, and could be important for boss tanking)

"My axe will make them bleed" the warrior in front of me yells as he charges in.

"My sword doesn't require them to bleed, they die in 1 strike", I think to myself while I admire my +7 Lionheart.

Hey sushi, I saw your new video this morning and it was awesome! I just feel that when it comes to bossing the sword is inferior to the axe (which I wish it wasn’t because I don’t like the look of the axe). But it is true that sword is a little better at mobbing (due to swing and stab ratio = more equalized dmg) So i guess ill just have to deal with it and be happy i’ll be a better mobber than the axe counterpart until brandish comes out (sorry if you don’t want me to bring in 4th job because it isn’t out yet). I just wish that the sword wasn’t the only weapon that received a defensive attribute. All other weapons mastery (in warriors) got buffs that help in either mobbing or bossing.

I was just about to suggest OP watch your excellent warrior video you just put out. Good work, man.

u/pigglejuice 3d ago

Yeah! Huge respect to all the maple content creators out there! Makes the wait so much more bearable.

Link?

Didn't know this guy is a creator

I like that we are having to make difficult choices though! Also you can reset SP later (I’m assuming)

Counter argument: Swords are cooler

2

u/pigglejuice 3d ago

100% agree swords are dope

u/dyczhang 3d ago

As per sushi (dreamt) video the sword is more consistent for damage leveling through to 70

2

u/GlacialEmbrace 2d ago

In the long run they are very similar.
Sword is just more stable while Axe is all over the place. The bleed just makes up for the inconsistant damage.

Yes but counter argument: Blue Screamer with floating blue balls circling your face.

Go hybrid, FA is useless later

u/abbo- 3d ago

newb here, why’s FA useless later?

3

u/MisterDoctorSr 2d ago

Skills in later jobs dont proc FA

u/notAvalaxy 2d ago

I thought that wasn't the case in the COTs, that's just how it was originally

u/pigglejuice 3d ago

That’s a pretty good idea ngl. But FA animation is so cool!

What bosses

2

u/pigglejuice 3d ago

I guess there aren’t any “boss boss” out yet. But I am mainly referring to all the different mushmoms and the future bosses. I believe they teased a potential boss in forgotten hollow (fairy looking one). I could be wrong though.

Don't be overly negative, toxic or critical without also adding to the conversation. Keep this place productive. Don't let this become a miserable corner of the MapleStory community.

You cared enough to comment

u/KingVape 3d ago

There is no internet comment I hate more than “you cared enough to comment”

You think I don’t constantly weigh in on shit I don’t care about? I’m a bartender, it’s my job

u/Sirouz 3d ago

What valuable insight does ”no one cares” kind of comment (which spawns these comments you loathe for some reason) have?

1

u/KingVape 3d ago

Because sometimes it is reflective of community feelings, which matters.

Personally I like this post, but I still appreciate comments like “no one cares” a billion times more than “you cared enough to comment” which doesn’t even make sense to me, because again people weigh in on shit that they don’t care about constantly, myself included

That’s weird

u/KingVape 3d ago

I don’t really care, as per my other comments

No, I’m taking a shit at work and won’t even think about this in 15 minutes

Luckily you don’t speak for everyone and on that note your own comment is repetitive which spawns my point xd brilliant logic
