Sword/Blade chains PLEASE help.

[Stress]

I was wondering if str influences the way sword/blade chains hit. If i have more str, does that mean my chains will hit better? So do str chars chain better than int or nuker chars? pls help, and by the way, which force is better for sword and which for blade???

Str influences phys skills, int influences mag. skills. The thing is pure str can only use phys attacks well + an imbue bcus it melds with their phys. damage givin them a slight boost. Mag atacks are bout as useful as pillows to them. Int. chars are more versatile in where they can use both because their large mag. dmage 'cloaks' over the phys skill (if u use a imbue of course duh) makin it just as useful as any mag attack, but this is at the cost of severe physical weakness (low hp, defense). Now about your other question; int chars will always do more damage than str, but actually it seems to me a good 5 hit chain does more dmage over all than a nuke ( this is the 1st bicheon 5 hit compared to the 1st nuke books, have no idea bout later ones). Mobs that dont die from a nuke i can kill with a 5 hit, it's just that nukes are still favoured bcus its lump sum damage not a bunch o lil hits that add up 'slowly in comparison' :p. ( in case u misunderstood this is a int doin a 5 chain not a str). Lastly, doesnt matter whcih imbue u get for sword or blade really, but pepl like fire for str chars cus it does most dmage an with low mag atack already u need the higgest damage one. Lghtning is good for int cus of its mag damage increasing buff.
