I was wondering what are people's thoughts are for the Polearm Magian weapon. I was debating between either;

Bradamante
DMG:44 Delay:486 DMG:+32 Delay:+21 Occ. atk. twice

Oathkeeper
DMG:87 Delay:492 DMG:+12

Stribog
DMG:71 Delay:492 DMG:+21 Delay:-12 STR+4 Attack+15

I'm guessing it would be Bradamante > Stribog > Oathkeeper? I can't decide between the Oathkeeper and Stribog. The Oathkeeper's DMG:99 is 1 less damage and same delay as a Gungnir, but would Stribog's DMG:92 Delay:480 STR+4 Attack+15 beat Oathkeeper's DMG:99?

It wouldn't.

Provided the OAT weapon has a 50% proc rate:
Bradamante(as long as it has +DMG too) -> Oathkeeper -> Stribog

6 less base damage, 18 attack, and a killed 6-hit make Stribog fairly useless.

you can still maintain 6 hit with aurum body~

Not if you ever plan on using Wheeling Thrust or jumps in anything but Aurum Cuirass and Rose Strap. It takes an average of 31 Store TP to maintain 6-hit with a 480 delay weapon.

wheeling thrust, lol
and aside from the -vit (use barone or askar if it matters that much to you), i don't see a reason not to jump in aurum?

Wheeling Thrust outdoes Drakesbane in situations where you're stuck with Attack Down such as Leeches, Wivres, or Triple Bats and their TP spam. Also forgot to mention Leg Sweep in low man situations for a stun in a pinch. And even the occasional Geirskogul where a 1-hit WS is more desirable than multi-hit. If you're mindlessly spamming a single WS you're doing it wrong.

Ares's Cuirass, nuff said. Going from VIT-8 to VIT+12 makes a heck of a difference with a VIT_50 mod, not to mention an additional 4 STR and 9 attack. Also justifying Rose Strap over Pole Grip anywhere outside of Campaign is ridiculous.

[What?]

Having attack down on you for more than half a second is doing it wrong. Wheeling thrust? Pshaw.




Am I doing it right?

[BurneTohell]

For all the "low level" stuff (Salvage/merits/Einherjar/etc) Bradamante is the best option.

For HNM however I feel like the DMG:99 might be best.

These quests are bullshit. I'll be glad to never set foot in Kuftal Tunnel ever again. Certainly puts me off finishing any Relic weapon.

I'm stuck on Shoggoth. No VNM shouts on Caitsith. :<

[.Sotek.]

VNM are as evil as kill 400 lizards. Fuck I must have killed 50 t1 VNMs trying to get towards poping my on Blobdingnag, still can't pop t2. At the very least it was good EXP.

2 other ppl in my ls need shaggy so hoping they wait for me. looks like an asshole though.
