Heijoushin 1,075 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I have no technical opinion, but isn't it nice to hear Modwyr laughing while you kill people? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joulurotta 2 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I went through the game as mindstalker wielding whispers of yenwood (enchant silence the dead) and modwyr, couldn’t help but wonder why modwyr’s owner threw her away, that maniac laughter just fits to the psychotic character you end up, unless you carefully select dialogue choises. Swords have advance on hitting either piercing or slashing damage where sabras only deal slashing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joulurotta 2 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 You forgot Watcher’s Blade, deals lovely raw damage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SimonCharming 29 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I highly suggest swords over sabres as a Devoted. Swords have two damage types yet lack base penetration; Devoted's penetration bonus eliminates that flaw. In turn the dual damage types allow you to fight nearly every enemy without weapon switching, which is important since you will have heavy penalties for your Crushing Damage backup weapon. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wodehouse_44 34 Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 (edited) I highly suggest swords over sabres as a Devoted.

In turn the dual damage types allow you to fight nearly every enemy without weapon switching, which is important since you will have heavy penalties for your Crushing Damage backup weapon. My only qualm is that I'm building a raider/pirate who originates from the Deadfire, so lore wise sabers make more sense. However, it's pretty easy to get good swords early in Neketaka i.e. Duskfall (obtained via good diplomacy), and Whispers (only 1500, and not that hard to enchant away the will debuff).

SimonCharming 29 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 If you need to dual-wield sabres as a Devoted, then I suggest dual clubs for your backup weapon slot. Covering Slash and Crush is better than covering Slash and Pierce, and club accuracy bonus and attack speed will help mitigate the lost accuracy. Their modal can also be safely ignored. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
