actually i usually only duel melee so them it'd be redeemer rite?

redeemer has 184 average dmg while shaeffer has 226ish~ average dmg (but this is at level 99)
the redeemer also has 2 to all skills and is faster with more range(i think)
so personally id go with redeemeer

Redeemer also adds 60-120 damage that doesnt go through penalties, but both have the same range (1). Personally, I'd use Schaefer's for the big AR boost, static field and lightning resist unless the redeemer was ethereal.

Another thing- A shael'd Schaefer's hits the 5 fpa attack rate (4 at 115) with no extra IAS, but the redeemer needs 60 to get out of the 5 fpa range, sort of limiting your gear choices. If you can't get to 4 fpa on the redeemer, use Schaefer's.
