What Weapon to Use?

well... if you ever plan to get to using Sinrabansho (the TT 100 arcane weapon) youll have to make (or buy) 4 TT 60, TT 70, TT 80, and TT 99 weapons - 2 of which are listed in your list. If you plan to farm the mats yourself rather than buying them, I'd go with either Ashura's Sign or Griefs's Breath.

If you're a light veno, either Ashura's or Grief's is best for you, imo.
Both provide more damage spike than a wand, which you need since your magic is lower than arcane (pure or light vit, either). Pick Ashura's if you want even more spike damage, pick Grief's if you want defense in HP.

If you're arcane, Sak. Light is great due to the P.def modifer. However both Ashura's and Grief's are also good. Again, Ashura if you want spike damage (esp. if you are a vit arcane) or Grief's if you want defense in HP (esp. if you are pure arcane).

I picked Sakyamuni's Light because it had a higher damage output than all the TT70 weapons. I did make both Grief's Breath and Ashura's Sign. I later made Endless Ambiguity which is currently on loan to a friend until they get their TT80 weapon. The only 2 things that interested me were 1. damage output and 2. -% channeling. The Glaive path settled that for me. I also like to carry two to three weapons on me anyway because I don't keep up with the repair on my weapon and if it gets too low before I can repair, I like to have a weapon to switch out just to keep my damage/heal decent.

I would assume this same line of thinking would/should apply to the other Arcane classes as well, Yes?

Just curious, so as to help decide what and how I should approch this to provide a weapon to my Wizard. I hand-down all the stuff from my Veno to my Wizard character.

I've still got most of my weapons and do plan to hand them down to the other squishy classes that I have leveling up. Mostly it's preference. We can tell you everything about all the weapons we used and how much better we believe them to be compared to other weapons, but it should all be based on what you're looking for to make your character even better in game.

1. Sakyamuni's Light

As someone has pointed out, it starts with slightly higher stats. It also gains more per refine. The reason being it's a level 10 weapon. The others are level 9. I'd recommend it if you're planning to refine to +3 or higher.

2. Ashura's Sign
3. Grief's Breath

These are your vanilla level 70 magic swords. Pretty much the same, differ only in bonuses

4. Alacantha Wand
5. Fine Pataka of Bodhi +5 which has more or less similar attack to these 4

Seeing as you're a light veno, if you use fox form a lot, be aware that the physical DPS of the non-swords is slightly to significantly lower than for the magic swords.

Sinrabansho requires a mat which has a 0.0056% chance to drop off a TT boss. That's once per 18,000 kills. Even if they do release the event items which yield it, it's a 0.01% - 0.03% from those packs. About as rare as a goldmane lion mount. I wouldn't make any plans based on getting that sword.

tweakz, shut up.

You first poopie breath. b:chuckle

The wand is only good if you're going for the Gold and that's expensive if you're buying and people will only complain if you ask just for that mat.

It's a Warsoul weapon. Those are incredibly hard to get. Even if it is easier to acquire pieces now, it's going to cost a pretty penny.

I got the TT80 Glaive, Wheel of Life, because my end goal is Fate Denial: Godspeed.

I also have Endless Ambiguity, which I have loaned to a friend until they can get the TT80 weapon they want (the glaive). I'd like to get and try all of the TT90 weapons. I just need the mats for them. Endless is a good weapon, but I say that only because I like the -% channeling on it. Many people like its 90, Wraith Conquerer.

Yaksa I haven't made yet and probably won't for a while.

Patakas do seem to have the highest range, wands are more "stable," swords also provide that "stable" range too (but I think they run a little higher), and glaives don't look cool till the higher levels and I think their damage range is just under that of the pataka. Patakas look pretty cool though.
