Your a mage right? Go with male sword EGO!! Reason? Raft yoruself tipping suits for HUGE stat gain. Once you get to 20 str you can use tipping suits and have 40 str in a matter of weeks if you really try at it.
Hope you ranked thunder.
Sidennote: I don't like range much but...as a mage who often uses pot poisen to enhance my gameplay I sometimes rethink getting a Sword rather than a Bow. In pot poisen you don't lose dex. But you lose all your str. Which means my melee is nerfed if I feel the need to melee. So to compensate I ranked golems to melee while I'm poisened. Which means the sword is kinda useless. I'm a lifeskiller though with nearly 260 dex with rank C range R F AR and Rank D magnum. So I am rethinking my ego choice right now for the best hybrid.
Sidenote 2: I have no idea why but I get SOOOOOO many dex rolls as infra.
Thanks for the tipping suite idea. They're basically free since the Mana herbs more than covers the MP 100's you use and the Iron Ingots pay for repairs and the raft.
I'm not that fond of range. I'm pretty bad at it actually lol

Actually, there's no situation where Windmill will have a higher average damage than Smash on single targets - it doesn't even come close before factoring in defense.
Smash (0% Crit) = 600% average
Windmill (30% Crit) = 250% * [(1 * 70%) + (2.5 * 30%)] = 362.50% average
(625% on a crit barely beats Smash and doesn't make up for non-crits)
For people like the OP who rarely use their egos (many people only use it against bosses or in ohshiiii- situations), the large Smash boost and longer stun can be useful.
On the other hand, when you adjust for the extra weapon damage from dual wielding, the 2H Smash bonus becomes less significant if you have both a good ego 1H and secondary 1H.
Earlier discussed in -1h-vs-2h.html"]this topic. Both 2H and 1H have their pros and cons.
Thanks for the link and the explanation. My numbers showed the same difference, but the wm difference was only 2% because I didn't use the best enchants on the second weapon. And I used average damage not max damage.
I'm thinking about going with a Two-Handed sword. Because of the higher Smash damage, and because for a one hander to compete you actually have to have a very nicely enchanted and upgraded second weapon.

WHATTT!? News to me ;-;
Actually both male and female swords have a 0.8 growth factor for Luck. The differences are that the female also has 0.8 for Dex and the male has 1.33 for Int, the rest are all 1's for both of them.
Side-note: When I saw we're getting the Chest even again, it's kind of made me want to speed up getting a new ego lol
