Bear Sin using phase blade?

[Silent Shaddow]

erm, im confused as to why not...

you need 95 ias on a -30 to reach 2FPA
so thats:4xsheal+15 ias jool + Ber or something...

Nope. Assassins are faster with claws than any other type of weapon when meleeing. A 120 IAS PB would only hit 4 frames.

Think of it this way- Chu-Ko-Nus are [-60] speed weapons, but no strafeazons use it because they all attack way faster with [-10], [0], or even [10] speed bows. Why? Because there are two components to attack speed. WSM is one component, but the other component is the class's base animation speed with that weapon type.

Assassins have a much faster animation speed with claws than swords, so a [-30] claw will be much, much faster than a [-30] sword.

Always happy to help. :smiley:

is this the same with kicks? should ever consider the base weapon with kicks? or does it not matter beacuse they are kicks?

[aman]

The base weapon will matter but not like it does for reaching 2fpa

So using a phaseblade is just as good as using runics or greater talons

[Silent Shaddow]

i ment in relation to the swinging/kicking animation as aposed to the WSM...

[aman]

Weapon type(swinging/kicking animation) has no effect on kicks. Only wsm matters.

thats for the clarification :thumbsup:
