Shout VS Blade Force for Hybrid Int Swords

[Shine]

Hello, I have a question for any hybrid int swords out there. Right now I am level 66, with 86% mag balance naked(and plan to stay that way). When I was lower level, I decided on blade force instead of shout, since at that time it did more damage, and used less sp. Now I think I'm starting to regret that decision, since quests are making you fight orange monsters, instead of white, where the splash from nukes killed most monsters, and blade force for any weak survivors. I plan to farm in 2 levels, and I was wondering if shout does more damage than devil cut. Thank you in advance.

for a hybrid I believe blade force / sword dance is a bit more effective than lion shout.

devil cut and evil cut do more damage especially when they crit but charge up time is slow especially if u want to move to another mob. lion shout comes out much quicker, charges up quicker and if one is not enough to finish them off, u can use 2 shouts (heaven and earth). if ur dmg is high enough its much quicker killing mobs with nukes/shouts rather than nuke/cuts, nuke/flying dragon, nuke/ghostspear. i assume you have added INT to ur gear giving u 100%+ magic balance so the dmg should be ok.

What they said^

And in addition to that, if you have all 3 lion shouts and do them off 1 after another, the damage all together equals about that of a nuke and is quicker to cast off than a nuke as well.

if that were true it would be much more effective to kill people with lion shouts... go try that out buddy
