...But I can't decide between a Two Handed, Gladius, or Long Leather Bow.
My Pros and Cons for which to ego :
- Two Handed Sword -
• Would prefer to use a Two Handed Ego.
• Tons of Durability.
• Insert Two Handed Weapon buffs here.
• Not as effective as dual wielding, so I hear however.
• Will take a while to find a nice colored 2h to ego.
• If I make a Dragon Blade ego on the other hand, it would match my color scheme. But why would I do that?
• Could become a hassle to have to buy another 2h sword and prof it for repairs.
- Gladius -
• Can be very powerful if I use it with another powerful modified weapon.
• Can prof up a sword to repair it while I'm using it.
• Due to dual wielding, it's extremely easy to repair.
• Won't take too long to find a nice colored Gladius to ego.
• Gladius that matches my color scheme is expensives.
- Long Leather Bow -
• Derp.
• I don't really want to make another Bow ego.
• Pretty much powerful.
• If I get Arrow Revolver (Just need pages 8, 9, 10) I get to be awesome sauce.
• Already own bow that matches my color scheme.
Color scheme on my Human is Red and Black or Gold and Black. Would change it to a different scheme, but I don't feel like wasting money on dyes just to look original. Main reason why I want an ego sword is because I already have an ego bow on my elf, and I wanna have fun with a sword ego.

Gladius since thats the only one that you talk more about damage and not your colors. :\

Melee weapons have more durability but are more difficult to prof.
The Crossbow has greater known ADACT and mobility than the Leather Long Bow but lacks range, stun and the campfire bonus. The Leather Long Bow is the defacto spirit ranged weapon. The improved range is useful, mostly to elves who have a slower aim speed. The Wing Bow has the same stun duration as the Leather Long Bow but has greater speed and slightly better range. The wing bow has less critical than the crossbow but more than the leather long bow. The Ring Bow has low critical but high damage and lengthy stun.
What do you primarily use in combat?

My Human has Rank 1 Ranged and Magnum Shot, but I'd really much rather be using a melee weapon over a ranged weapon on my human. I'm not interested in any other weapons to ego that are hard to obtain (Muramasa ; Dustin Sword) because I think it's a waste of money to be buying repair potions for a weapon that's slightly better than others that I will end up treating like a fragile instrument and use rarely.
So basically it's more of a tie between a Two Handed Sword and a Gladius.

Improved smash damage and stun or improved windmill damage?
FYI, DSKS's are dirt cheap at the moment. You could stock up on enough to last the average player a long time.

They've dropped to about 50k each one Mari, don't know about Ruairi.
Easy to stock up on a forever's worth of DSKS's. Keep in mind the ego has high dura already, and one sword will repair it almost completely. Spending 1m on 50k dustin swords would last a long time. You can also afk fish them up yourself.
The DSKS has higher damage and crit, and since you care so much about aesthetics, it looks cooler.
Just my opinion.
