Hey everyone,

We've got maintenance tonight, with an estimated downtime of 11pm PDT to 1am PDT.

This week's question:

If all the demons and all the sages in Perfect World got into a fight, who would win and why?

Thanks!

- The PWI Team

    Yay first post!

    And I think the Sages would win, their team has Mods and GM's xDD.

    Depends on class; but, I suspect, played equally well, in PK only, the R9rrrs.

    sage would win because sage adds more defense, and most sage skills increases damage by 20%. Demon only increases 2% crtl, and spark adds int, which is useless to a caster

    Caster demon spark reduces channel time.

    sage skill adds 50 chi more, making sparking more often than demon :D
    demon skill, needs to steal chi...

    And demons chi drain twice in the time sages can gain their chi once... thus allowing demons to suppress sage chi gain and prevent sparking while sages don't have the same counter to use against a demon. :P

    My vote's still for folks like me that would steal both fairies.

    Aren't sages supposed to be all holy, promote good, wisdom and not brutally beating the **** out of people? I'm a sage so I would say we would fight honestly.

    Demons of course would play dirty and cheat. So in that case demons would probably win. Sages would be too busy following the rules and being good people.

    The difference winds up only being a couple hundred points (at best) base damage. This is before taking into ccount resists, attack/defense levels, PvP reductions, and so on. It's basically a question of slightly higher regular damage versus a slightly higher chance to deal double damage.

    So while a sage crit will hurt more... the demon will crit more often.

    thats why i made a psyhic demon for the earth slide :D but for the sin..realized more dmg, bp heals 1% more, at 5 aps sage adds more def. Demon can give 1 or 2 better euipment to still be 5 aps, but what 1 or 2 euipment beats about 25% dmg reduced? did builds demon and sage wise on pwcalc, to me i always get more dmg and defense on sage than on demon

    Well, it would be long battle, but in the end both sages and demons would be defeated, gone, thing of past, the battle would transfer to low levels, in a massive long lasting battle, but even them would end up being defeated, with their bodies scattered all over the Perfect World... But, just when all things seemed lost, when all hope is gone, right then, one person appears! As it turns out, it's level 1 Cleric, little cleric that will train to become better, who will train so hard that in the end will bring everyone back to life and restore the lost glory to the world of PWI. Cleric that will teach others and speak about great battle and heroes that has fallen.

    Duh, Demons would win. Two reasons.
    1) Cause they would cheat to win. They are evil.
    2) evil will always triumph because good is dumb.

    Neither would win. Demons and Sages are the imbodiments of good and evil, light and dark. Neither should or ever will be more powerful than the other. They would eternally be in battle, as it should be.
