Yes, that sword is very cool. Unfortunately with strickening builds 1 AP blades are just so vastly superior that I end up benching this weapon the moment it appears in my inventory... Edit: Also, can Vincent even dual wield or use a shield? A 1H sword doesn't make sense on him unless he can do either? Neither char in the mage slot can use more than 1 weapon. In Kjartan's case that is a staff only. Vincent also can use blades naturally. Vincent's 2 melee talents, storm strike and sundering respectively, are both quite powerful even w/o dual wield. Sundering in particular is one of the most powerful melee talents. Only Vraes and the healers can currently use shields. |

achilles73 I don't remember the exact stats. Suffice to say that they are REALLY good, better than Vincent's relic. It is also an amazing moment when you see all the relics and have to choose just 1, I don't want to take that away from you. Vincent cannot dual wield or use a shield. This however does not stop him from doing absolute killer damage.

By the way, is it me or does Vincent's staff look pretty awful? Wouldn't you want an SP Drain staff?

Late episode 3 is Vincent's and episode 4 for everyone else. Vincent was the first character to receive relics. SP drain was very new at the time and I don't think the TBs knew how it was going to play out. In episode 4 there are staves you find that vastly overshadow the relic. It is good for when you get it though, don't undervalue that 6% crit, it is huge. There are also lots of items in CoD with lightning damage and SP drain on them, so it being on the staff might be overkill (I always build melee Vincent so can't say for sure).

As matrim mentioned elsewhere, Kyera's may be in play testing atm and I think Vincent's may be inline for modest rework to insure it's a top performer iirc. |
