    Soboro Sukehiro

    Anyone try the weapon out with any HNMs yet? I'm interested to know whether or not SAM can get any TP while hitting an HNM with it, 'cause if they can, they can do self Light/Dark with just Meditate.

    Don't believe me? Lv50 SAM, just started using it today.


    And, yeah, that's with of course no items that enhance meditate.



    Someone go throw this thing at Fafnir or something. lol... I think it's broken.

    The thing is, it's got really low DMG. DMG40, DLY450, Ocassionally attacks 2 to 3 times.

    About 70% Double Attack, 20% Triple, and occasionally you'll hit just once.

    The day after Soboro Sukehiro was put in the game a group from my former HNM LS went into Riverne and got three. It's a pretty fun toy for Samurai's and it is more than possible to consistently create self level 3 renkei's if you have a little luck on your side.

    I can't see myself missing with like +11 GKT skill and sushi.

    edit: but I wonder how many times I'll hit for 0 with that low ass D rating...

    your damage via ws will be much lower. BUT your blms will love you cuz you can now open tons of Frag Scs with wars (yuka->deci), and light with drks and thfs.

    Because of how str figures into the damage equation, this weapon is arguably the best xp weapon at 75, for the same reason that duel-wielding axes beats great axe. If you have about 500+ attack on deco weapons, Soboro Sukehiro does 70-100 points a swing, whereas with Kamewari (dmg 79 weapon) I was doing 130-150; WS with it were often within 100 points of Kamewari as well (as /war).

    When I played. We did a run for the 3 SAMs in our LS. We went to Kuftal Tunnel and had fun with the lizards. Amemet was a baby too.

    it's sad how accurate this sounds, but two handed damage is so completly broken I wouldn't be shocked if this was completely true.
