btw what dex requirement does the Arcglaive have? I suspect my 85 is a little low but I don't know by how much.
[color="#cc8899"]80, you're fine with 85. And zerking with fury actually works really well - fury's range coupled with rush allows you to easily stack mobs without standing in them, well within its range. At "omg PA 4 lyfe" complaint, I'm not like that - I like PA, and I'm fine with being a bit slower at bossing than most, if not all, other classes. Anyone I've trained with will tell you I more than hold my own, but I'm not blind enough to think that hybrids are any lower than pures. I simply want Nexon to find a way to balance pure weapons with hybrids because Dances with Balrogs even recommends single-mastery, and the slash/stab weaknesses/strengths are never referenced anywhere in-game. For someone who has never read a guide, using crusher with a PA, that could be quite confusing - "Why is my damage so low?"
My personal suggestion to Nexon would be to either make end-game weapons that ignore or reduce the penalties for weak hit-types, have a chance of calculating weak hit-types as strong instead, or just flat out reducing or eliminating that weakness. DrKs are the only class that can't use a skill to its full potential without switching weapons (I'm not talking about elemental weapons here). Given that they could code weapons to increase elemental damage, it doesn't seem unreasonable to code something that alters slash/stab damages.[/COLOR]
