Ok so this one time chance I have the ability to +10 any weapon for free thanks to the orbs from the chest/reawakening and the dragon orbs *10x3 from november.

And before you say "they can't be used on G16 it says so"....that's a wrong translation. They can be used on BOUND G16, not unbound lunar.

This weapon will be used by mystic, wizzy, veno, and cleric.

So what's best considering every classes use of physical and magical attacks in skills?

    Doesn't matter.

    That is to say, it depends more on your own playstyle.


    They all have the same average m.atk. Glaive and pataka have more spike potential due to higher maxes and lower minimums. Wands are very steady so great for healing but have no real spike damage, so kinda poor outside of that. The magic sword is the best choice for physical attacks (as in actually hitting something IE: a veno in fox form), has okayish potential spike, and looks neat in my opinion.


    At the end of the day, it's more a question of how you play and, failing that, aesthetics than anything else.

    I did wand on my AA alts.

    80% of my reasoning was the look.b:shutup

    Ermmm ... no, only venos have any use for physical attack at all, and even that is important only to fox form users, meaning exotic builds (LA,Ha).
    As Kossy said, the weapons differ only in the min-max attack range, so you would want pataka/glaive for very fluctuating damage that's more useful for crit builds, whereas wands/swords help with a more constant, reliable damage, useful in sustained damage and healing. For all of the characters listed by you, I chose a wand.

    I would choose the Magic Sword because it's better for healing than Glaive/Pataka while it remains relatively decent for spike damage, unlike the Wand, so it can serve well multiple AA classes.

    Any of those weps will serve you fine. While a wand in theory is going to provide the best heals, if you have decent gear and a plus 10 wep even a glaive with its lower base dmg will provide plenty of healing power for most any situation.

    I would advise being patient with your stat roll before refining. If this is your final weapon ever for your mages keep rerolling it until you get stats that make you smile :D
