Daggerknight Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 So, like many before me, I find myself struggling with the choice of what to do with Modwyr, both from a plot and mechanical perspective. I'll save story musings for the story thread though, and just focus on the mechanical issue; stick with a fully upgraded Modwyr, or a fully upgraded Watchers Blade? My character is a Psyblade (Soulblade/ standard fighter) wielding one sword (but capable of going great sword or war bow). The advantages/ disadvantages for me between the blades are: Watchers Blade Pros: Raw damage will be difficult for anything to withstand. Solid damage output overall. Looks epic as heck. Cons: Possibly slower recovery? Modwyr Pros: Attack speed buff, does the same amount of bonus damage as Watchers Blade, except it's an energy type depending on your health at the time. Cons: Bonus energy damage might not be as universally applicable as raw damage? Any suggestion for which one to go with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myztik Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Modwyr is faster, has a good bonus, automatically upgrades its quality, and at max level makes you immune to Intellect afflictions. It's the clear winner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeonsLegend Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 In terms of stats Modwyr is better, in terms of coolness Watchers blade is better. Why not use both? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 You can finish the game with either one, so choose the blade you like the best.

Funny, that doesn't look like either of the blades the OP seems to be concerned with. "Art and song are creations but so are weapons and lies" "Our worst enemies are inventions of the mind. Pleasure.

Daggerknight Posted June 19, 2018 Author Share Posted June 19, 2018 Thanks for the replies folks! In terms of stats Modwyr is better, in terms of coolness Watchers blade is better. Why not use both? Well I'm not gearing this guy up to dual wield, and would rather just focus on one blade. The coolness factor of the Watchers blade is nearly winning out though.... hm... https://pillarsofeternity.gamepedia.com/Hel_Beckoning Good looking, no need for upgrades much and massive extra lash damage. Huh, I forgot about that one entirely... thanks for the reminder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeonsLegend Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 https://pillarsofeternity.gamepedia.com/Hel_Beckoning Good looking, no need for upgrades much and massive extra lash damage. That's a weapon you get at the end of the game when you follow the questline normally, unless you kill Aeldys before any of the quests tell you to do so. So yea it is cool and strong and you'll be using it for about an hour of gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmbogd Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Also note that Modwyr's lash is possibly bugged and if you dual wield the weapon, the lash is inherited to the other weapon as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
