I need help choosing a new weapon at the moment i have a pair of 230 stiff lizard upgraded gladius's
I am a melee fighter, i have a base dex of only 85 (r7 refining) and my base str is 175, I have r1 combat mastery and r6 sword mastery i have 80% balance with my upgraded glads and im working on ranking refining now.
Im thinking of maybe getting 222 broadswords. What do u guys think? are there any other swords u can recommend and what enchants do u guys think i should get?
Thanks :D

I wouldn't worry about 222 broads until you can push your dex up a little higher for balance sakes.
Have you considered upgrading some wooden swords and sticking goddess caliburn on them? Even with the x10 repair rate it's only around 700 gold a point.

When you get enough dex you could move to 251 battle swords. It's better then the 222 broads imo. Only downside is that you can't special upgrade til g14. It has only 2% balance so you need dex to be able to use them.

222-broadswords would be a great upgrade. I'd reccomend wolf hunter and spike on each one. It will take some effort for the spike enchants, including training potion and herbalism, but that is an investment that will be worth it.
getting to rank 1 in sword mastery will help, as the combination of it and cm rk1 is 30 balance with swords. 222-broadswords (stock) have 21% balance, and the dex you have right now ill provide 18 (ranking refine and sword mastery will give you more dex too). 71% balance is what you'd have with those swords and rank 1 sword mastery alone. rk1 refine will help as will getting the +20 dex from two spike enchants.
Save the battleswords til you can accumulate another 80 dex or so on top of sword mastery rk1 and refine rank 1.
