im thinking of getting 222 broads i have a base dex of around 100 and next rb ill have r1 sword mastery, i already have r1 combat mastery so that will give me 37% balance.
If anyone knows how to figure out the formula of balance can u plz tell me and what are ur thoughts of 222 broads? or should i go for 251 battle swords? im not sure about them because of my low dex
Thx :D

Yeah it should be enough, I have a broadsword with 11% balance and r1 cm/sm and I still have 73% balance with 141 dex.

I thought you needed around 180-200 dex to get 80% balance.

Old info, Okami.
stock 222-broadswords give 21% balance. CM and Sword Mastery each give 15% balance at rk1, bringing you to 51% balance.
Dex balance is (dex-10)/4. You need 29% more balance to hit 80%, or 126 dex. While 80% balance is certainly ideal, I'd think anything around 65% or higher balance is fine (66 dex). Therefore 100 dex is fine. You're very close to ideal with that.

Combat Mastery rank 1 gives 15% balance to any weapon.
Sword Mastery rank 1 gives 15% balance to any sword you're using.
A 222 Broadie has about 20% balance. Coupled up with the other Broadie you'll be using for dual-wielding, I believe it averages out to 30%(or somewhere there) from those.
That's already around 60% balance, so you only need 80+ dex or more to achieve the 80% maximum.
Only applies to Broadswords(and 2-Handed Swords) though. Stuff like the Broad Axe still needs balance from dex since Axe Mastery doesn't give the balance boost like Sword Mastery does.
EDIT: Bah, ninjaed as usual. My info was wrong anyways.

Blacksmith broads can give 29% balance which helps!

Hard to find a r1 blacksmith though. My broadswords are r7 blacksmithed and they are just as good as an r1, except for balance, which doesn't matter since I'm at 80% with them anyway.
