Not sure where to put this, but i need u mathy ppl.

Im a bit behind but im making my nirvana weapon, second cast. And i have no idea what weapon to choose;

Foundation of World
Glaive of Nirvana

The main difference is the attack range, i have nvr looked into the difference between a small but sure range, or a large range. What is better for a damage dealer? all my skills are based off both wep and base magic damage. i have low base damage being partly vit build (still unsure about changing that)

    Most people either go for

    1. The one they think with the coolest looking.
    2. The one with the lowest strength requirement.


    If they happened to be the same weapon, good for you, if not, then you will have to make the final call on that. b:chuckle

    yeah looked at the low strength on the wand, but armor is 54 so its the damage range, then looks.

    The Wand: Magical attack 1316-1342
    The Glaive: Magical attack 1063-1594

    A lot of people prefer the wand because the magic range is more consistent (roughly same range). As for the glaive, you have the possibility of having that max mattack but the range gap is significantly bigger.

    It's just what you prefer, really. Both weapons are pretty haha.
    Have you any idea why a raven is like a writing desk?

    In my opinion, for a damage dealing class, you're better off with a weapon that offers you a chance at higher damage. For a healing class, you're better off with a more consistent weapon.

    For what it's worth, the avg. mattk on the wand is 1329 and on the glaive it's 1328.5 (which rounds up to the same).

    Depends if you're going to PK, and what class you are.

    In PK, spike damage is better than consistent damage.
