Talk:Shiro's Blades

reqs. Has the reqs been changed from 15 to 9, or has it always been 9? Or was that just an errorneous edit? -PanSola 05:35, 15 May 2006 (CDT)

If you want to think about it flavour-wise, 15 Dagger Mastery makes sense, since these are swords, not daggers. Hence, it would take a lot of skill (above the normal maximum) for a dagger-wielder to use them efficiently, or even a sword-wielder to incorporate the dagger fighting style with two blades. Just two cents.


 * Even Shiro's Sword is Req 15.. and as far as I can see it's the only 2 Greens with that high a req.


 * Just jumping in here...It's too bad. They would be great weapons without the req.15 and zealous instead of vampiric...But they would be worth a lot most likely... 67.87.83.149 19:47, 14 July 2006 (CDT)

The fact thats it's dagger mastery of 15 is not a bad thing, the 15 D.M. will inturn give you a 30% chance to double stirke which will let you do more damage and gain more health from the vamp upgrade. Also since it is vampiric that lets it add a constant +3 armor ignoring damage to all your attacks. So even though the requirement is high it has it's benefits and is actually prety good to use.
 * And to add to what i just said: i see absolutely no benefit in Shiro's swords. the 15 in swordsmanship is not nearly as helpful as dagger mastery.

Though the 15 mastery would give a 30% chance to double strike, having req 9 daggers with 15 mastery would achieve the same thing. However, exactly how much are assassins attacking normally anyway? The answer: they try not to as much as possible, with only a few exceptions. That larger chance to double strike would only show itself when the assassin is attacking without using attack skills. And face it, at 7-17 damage per hit (10-20 with these), it is not very effective to be attacking without the skills, so really all the high req does is make these less usable. --Gimmethegepgun 11:03, 17 November 2006 (CST)


 * How? No difference as long as you have 15 dagger with req 9 or req 15 &mdash; Skuld 11:16, 17 November 2006 (CST)
