Maybe because the pwnful damage makes up for the slowness.

[Stereo]

You suggest the fastest polearm, and then the slowest polearm.
Wat.

Actually...

Super Snowboard (50) = Gold Surfboard(15) = [purple surfboard(95) // never seen it] > other Snowboards(12-24-36-48-60-70) = Crimson Arcglaive(100) = Guan Yu(50) = The 9 Dragons(50) = Roses(0 12 24 48) = Maple Polearms (43 64)> Red Surfboard (95) = Eclipse(80) > level 10-40, 60, 70, 90-120 Polearms > Yellow Mop(15) = Eviscerator(120) = giant Tuna(10).

I forget where the other Surfboards go, I think the level 30 one is the same as normal Polearms and the level 48-60(?) ones are like the Arcglaive.

And aside from the Arcglaive and Red Surfboard, which depend on events, and are thus very expensive, the Eclipse is the fastest high atk weapon available (it has 6 or 7 less than an average red surfboard)

And can be maker'd to be even closer to a red surfboard in strength.

I got a 115 atk Arcglaive for my Aran for normal training, and I was thinking about scrolling a Zedbug for bosses, but now I see this talk about Eclipses, think I'd be better off mass scrolling Eclipses? Hidden-Street says Eclipses and Zedbugs are both slow, what is that all about D:?

[MasPan]

Wat.

Eclipse is slow (7). 90+ Polearms are slow (8). If you can get a 125+ slow (8), use it. If you can get a 110+ normal, that's the way to go. Generally, faster but weaker is the way to go for DPS and for keeping hits on a monster.

@ Above, a 115 Arcglaive is equivalent to a 128 or so Zedbug. You're fine.

The 115 is my Arcglaive
I wanted to use the Arcglaive for training and I wanted to use a 130ish attack Zedbug for bossing, but if a 115 Eclipse=128 Zedbug, a 115 Arcglaive=??? Zedbug?

[JXLOCC]

Anyone know when arans coming out in GMS can't wait to play it

I meant Arcglaive, my bad. Also, I miscalc'd, it'd be closer to 126. Still, extra combo'ing ability makes up for it. Make sure you can cover the 80 dex Req.

[MasPan]

You'd see people freaking out about it all over the site if we knew.

[Stereo]

Make sure you can cover the 85 dex Req.

I think it's only 80 but what would I know, I haven't tried equipping one :p (I'm some dex away from 80 dexless - an 11 dex top and I could do it)

The Taru Spirit Cape is 85 dex though. (this is the one it's gonna be tricky to put on my Cygnus without raising her base dex)

GAH! Me and typos lately. Yes, it's 80.

[Rigumaro]

How much HP do Aran roughly have on average?

At 82, I have 37xx. Arans gain around 40hp per lvl up.

^.~ I have +70 from my equips, not including my zhelm. With either 3 rings or an at least 5 dex belt from mu-lung dojo, I can go dexless and use a level 120 reverse knuckle, I have no troubles equipping an Arcglaive

2 more questions:
1. I should use the Arcglaive for everything, training and bossing right?
2. L>More pole arm 30%s+zedbugs. I want a 135 Zedbug dammit

[Kelvinb]

1-when will GMS get Aran Should?
3-i start buying 10% scrolls for pole arm now?
3- buy pole arms now?

[SoupySoupy]

I saw people saying doing higher damage will mess with your combos in here?

How much harder do you think it would make it if you had say, average GMS 4th jobber equips (I don't know, 15 attack gloves, 4/10 PAC, 2/5 fs, MoN, warrior pot etc), and is there any way to compensate ?

[TKWizard]

You will probably never reach 90 combo with insane attack equips on an Aran. Insane attack equips are only good for the highest level areas.

Higher combos rely on lower damage so you can hit a monster more before it dies.

I assumed it dealt more with the area, mobby areas like deeper in oblivion still seem to get fairly high combos because of the spawn rate and such, even on higher end arans i've seen in Korean videos...

[SoupySoupy]

Thanks very much ;o, i suppose I'll be going without some equips in the early levels then. Or maybe going attack potless will do.

The other thing I was wondering, is how would a hellslayer do as an end game weapon?
I assume that's slow 8 like everything else. I'm thinking of trading with a friend for a 130 attack hellslayer, though if the slower speed is really a big disadvantage I don't think I want it.

Yeah, but mobs of monsters don't matter if you're one hitting everything in your path. Once you run out of mobs in the map, there goes your combo.

How long between attacks do you have to sustain your combo?
