Quote from Rynn;1284544:
The lance ends with like 102 raw max (more than current top dog demonic) and lv 5 pierce (same as ice stick) + lance charge set effect for best lance ever.
The 2h ends with like 132 raw max (with normal speed for 2x bash I think?) and lv 2 pierce (lv 5 with 67th) + smash/durability set effect for best 2h ever and making Thames even more obsolete.
The 1h ends with 107 raw max with dura/cdmg enhancement... so basically a CRK with 3 more max at the loss of Bash enhancenment: nothing to see here, please move along, stick to CRK.
Some things to note though.
Those weapons are all made through engineering. For the lance, it's clear who's the winner when it comes to max, but balance roll should be taken into account. For a weapon that will use -6 balance in upgrades, 22 as the maximum balance it can have is pretty low. If the lance has a terrible balance and needs the balance upgrade, it's not as worth.
As for the 2h sword, I guess it's more dependent on your usage of swords. I still think thames set is ok for use since with good enough set up, you'd be able to do damages with other weapons besides the new 2h sword (like the new lance). Although, I gotta wonder, would the smash enhancement be considered something different from the Thames set? I know it's unlikely but we'll figure out I guess.
The 1h swords are nowhere near useful as CRK. The random rolls don't help either.
I'd think the best kicker is the new armor. For those of you that don't know yet, the armor is light armor with auto magic defense with judgement blade enhancement.
