Obviously max dmg

It can be +15% or higher depending on your playing style (ex. do you use enchants)


Here is what I am thinking. A warrior should have 3 swords for each playing style he uses.

The first and the one he uses should be a zealous sword w/ a +5 defense pommel.

The second should be a 3 to 1 vamp w/ a +1 swords pommel.

The last one should be an elemental dmg sword w/ a health pommel.

The first should be used most all the time and will allow the warrior to keep his energy high. The second should be used when your having trouble bringing someone like a monk down and need every last bit of dmg you can do. The last one should be used in case you are low on health or if you are not fighting and want to let your energy build up faster than it would be holding the zealous.

This is superior to having just one sword w/ a health pommel. Instead of only getting +30 health or lower you get that when you need it, but when you don't need it you have the better defense.

What a pity that PvP chars only start with two weapon sets, then.

The last one should be an elemental dmg sword w/ a health pommel. I don't Agree with that logic, it doesn't work across the board, some classes it will vary.

The second sword, being a 3 vamp with +1 sword? if you were looking for damage a Elemental with +1 sword would be optimal if you were a W/E with Conjure and +damage while enchanted.

Why would you even bother with an Elemental blade with a health pommel if you are anything but a W/E? If not for the extra damage of conjure, there really isn't much of a point in PvP as everyone has the same resists... and against rangers you'd do less damage do to the +30al vs physical...

I was under the impression that all attacks had 3 properties to them:

Like a normal sword would be:
Physical / Basic / Melee

A firey bow would be:
Physical / Fire / Ranged

Flare would be
Magic / Fire / Ranged (since certain spells can deflect it)

If this is true Even elemental blades were still phyiscal, just of a diffrent type, ie - if the armor had +vs earth magic , then an ebon blade would do normal damage...

I don't think the number of weapons can be cut and dry as saying, oh you need 3 with blah blah, or oh you need 2 but 1 has to blah.. , I think it is really class by class basis.
