Just use Victo's Blade or Chkkr's Pincers if you really want those stats without the high req.

Baltuck · Jun 28, 2006, 03:05 PM // 15:05

To be honest Shiro's Sword is not that amazing, life degeneration gets annoying during battles, you have to constatly heal yourself ect. is a good thing to have as a trophy though.

SPOILERS

Check the cutscenes. Kisu calls Shiro a warrior. A warrior who should stop protecting the traders from bandit raids and should become his personal bodyguard.

Those are warrior jobs.

but bodygaurds are elementalists...omg haxzorz

Get the zealous ceremonial daggers with req. 9 you cannot go wrong, as fast
as assassins attack you have great energy renewal, as for Shiros sword with
req. 15, bleh... nice to look at the damascus effect in the blade but if you
want to put 15 in sword, then you are probably running sup runes to get
stats in str and tactics up, to me this opens up the whole issue of storage
space and just how many different pieces of armor do you want to keep
around. Lets see where did I put those platemail pieces hmmmmm........
All depends on what you want to do and how you want to look. I still have
my Rinblades I got from Droks, 15^50, customized, cheap and effective.

-Sirshadowrunner

p.s. if you are not all hung up on having uber req. 8 stuff, sell those pieces
for big bucks and keep the higher req. ones for personal use.

Yea, where's Shiro's Maelstrom?

On a more serious note;
Victo's Blade > Shiro's Sword
Chkkr's Pincers > Shiro's Blades

If you really want a Green weapon with vampiric stats and low requirements, go with Victo's Blade or Chkkr's Pincers. Shiro's stuff is high requirement because he doesn't even use daggers when he fights you (Medditation of the Reaper

Most PvP Assassins don't have 16 Dagger Mastery.

Just saying.

Rent · Jun 29, 2006, 01:36 AM // 01:36

Why are they req 15? Flavor. Duh.

Malice Black · Jun 29, 2006, 01:57 AM // 01:57

to represent his supreme skills..

at the end of the day there is more then enough greens floating around so if u dont like the req dont use them

I lumma Shiro's blades works perfect considering all my points are in dagger and crit strikes nad besides wielding two swords= teh 1337 haxzorz UBER 5KI77135 (translation skittles)

Captain Arne Is PRO · Jun 29, 2006, 06:15 AM // 06:15

Well, consider this.

Bosses do ~double damage with skills, right?

So either they just do more damage, or they have higher than 12 in that mastery. Maybe it is possible for bosses to have >12 in a mastery that is not of their own profession?

Well, for those very few bosses that use multiple professions, I would think it is possible

If you're talking about the solo gank assasins, no they don't. The others have though
