S/S Vs. B/S Which is better?

Post by [SD]TurnipTruck »

I realize S/S is the most popular int. build and B/S is the ultimate tanker. My question is which is better?

I think blade, but it's my opinion, I'm sure S/S got its own advantages as well :D
If you think Silkroad Online is the best, then help me out! =)

They are on the exact opposite sides of the spectrum. Each are great if they match your playing style. Just pick the one you think you will enjoy more.

Indeed, everytime I see a "What's best" question, no one's ever really specific as to best for what.

They both have their own pros and cons. Each is better at different aspects of the game.

+2. :P

They're completely different things, really.

A Sword is meant to be a high-damage dealer. While not as high as a Spear user, it's still higher than a STR-based build, and certainly higher than a Blader. They're meant to be a little better in PvP than Pure INT Spears, because of their Shield, but still be able to deal high damage, all the same.

Bladers are meant... well, you can click on the link at the bottom of my Sig to see what Bladers are all about. :P

Like EllisD said, they're at opposite ends of the spectrum - completely different things. While S/S excels in PvE, B/S excels more in PvP, as a Tanker. Completely different things, once again. It just wouldn't be fair to compare the two.


BTW.
B/S.

Haha.
BS.
:P

(I know, I have a very immature sense of humor sometimes).
