    Ok, As a just turned WK page I would say Bw.

    You can buy those bad boys for so cheap, I mean my Giant Sledge cost me 200k, and people GAVE me scrolls to scroll it with (Not friends btw randoms) just for being a page.

    When I made mine it was unique, hardly any pages around so I got alot of fames etc.

    Now alot of people have jumped on the bandwagon >.<

    But Bw 100%

    Well, that'd could depend on funding, too.

    BW if you have little to no funding, sword if you do. Because BWs are cheaper, you'll have better items cheaper, and possible godlier items.


    Same thing happened with the overall archer class. They used to be somewhat rare, but once hackers re-appeared, they suddenly became more used.


    BWs look sexier, though, imo.

    Personally I use a one-hand sword, its somewhat unique, since most people use two hand, even BW pages.Also the stuff is somewhat cheaper than two hand weapons. I picked up a 88 attack 12 str onyx blade for 10m, and with that baby I can solo Alishar =)

    But this is the typical debate, this is how it slices:

    One Hand is faster than Two Hand

    Two Hand's damage formula does more than One Hand's.
    i.e 70 Attack One hand vs 70 Attack Two hand DOES NOT EQUAL

    The gap between One Hand and Two Hand Sword is larger than One Hand and Two Hand Blunt Weapon
    <From HS damage calculator>
    One Handed Sword - [(STR * 4.0 + DEX) / 100] * Weapon Attack
    Two Handed Sword - [(STR * 4.6 + DEX) / 100] * Weapon Attack
    One Handed Blunt Weapon - [(STR * 4.4 + DEX) / 100] * Weapon Attack
    Two Handed Blunt Weapon - [(STR * 4.8 + DEX) / 100] * Weapon Attack

    Over time, one hand does more damage, which is held on debate weather if its a boss weapon.
    i.e Over 1 minute the One Hand would do ~10k damage, while the two hand would do ~9 to 9.5k damage.

    Blunt Weapons have a higher max and lower min, thus less stable and more spikes. i.e 400 damage then 100 damage then 650.

    Swords have a higher min and lower max, but have higher stability for more consistent hits. i.e 500 damage then 450 then 475 then.

    Nice scrolled blunt weapons are far and between, but cost less to make.

    Nice scrolled sword is easier to find, but cost more to buy AND scroll.

    No, BW really DOES suck in 4th Job.
    Go ask any Paladin, they'll all tell you that Sword > BW by far in 4th.

    Oh, and do BW Paladins have the Rigbol? I think not.

    Also, not everyone makes it to 120.
