The weapon works fine for me. I don't think I need to change it.
I'm more curious about what you fellow slashers think I should do about mainly the armor (i've grown to like the charm).
I was thinking about getting an armor with 75+life per kill.

Opinions?


Mystical bronze sword

+1 Magic Luck
+1 to 4 Mana per Attack

Keep in mind that this gear for a hybrid that I use (Rogue/caster, sami/caster, paladin/caster etc etc), and I melee till level 30. At level 20, I switch armor's to a Strength armor, but I feel like the dex is almost not needed at all (I bought this dex armor when dex we much more useful).

if you can go 1-X without regen there isn't much reason to change anything.
but maybe im the only one who thinks like that.

* edit
how far do you go with this set up

**edit 2
try to get an armor similar to your charm then, more lpk or lpa
to me str helps more then dex at lower levels since the crits aren't really that big anyways

I can go a lot higher than 5 no regen with this gear. I just feel like the armor isn't really helping, and I made this topic to basically ask.

Do I go for a level 0 armor with 70+ lpk, or a level 0 armor with around 20-25 str

I use this setup till about level 20. Then I change some gear around. (The armor and charm till level 20, ofc I switch weapons every 5 levels)

Weapon and charm look good, I agree with you about switching the armor. That amount of dex at such a low level is negligible in effect.

Try a Tier III armor with better defense and some strength OR LPK OR LPA or any combination of those if you can find one.

My typical setup lately for 1-10:

Weapon:
50+EE Tier Sword/Axe/Club

Armor: (Don't even use one for 1-5, this is for 5-10)
Arcane bine scale armor
Level Req: 5
Defense: 5 to 20

+7 Strength
+1 Mana Regen
+1 to 8 Life per Attack
+1 to 21 Life per Kill
+1 to 44 Mana per Kill
+1% Life Steal

Charm:
Magical fire III
Spell Damage: 10 to 28
Mana Cost: 25

+13 Strength

That's it. The armor and charm were just random cheap crap I bought and never needed to upgrade. There's way better stuff out there but in my opinion it's not worth a couple thousand FG to do 1-10 like 5 minutes faster. Save the FG for upgrading higher level stuff for when the levels get more challenging. 1-10 is no regen and fast for me using this gear as a Fighter. Never tried a Rogue but the principles are the same.
