Title: CSotW or BoT?
Post by Magma on 01/28/03 at 18:39:01
what do you think is the best weapon for fighter??? Cobalt Staff of the Winds or Blade of Time? I really have no clue what would be better... but I think The Cabalt :)
Post here what you think about it... lol

Cobalts Vamparic, with 27 base damage
Blade of time is 29 base damage, so i think cobalt would be better since the vamparic+ its only 2 less the bot

I'd rather have a BoT, its cheaper than CSotW, and has extra damage. I know the cobalt is magical and has 0,2 vamparic (Or whatever it is) but i'd still rather do extra damage.

heh, Extra dmg doesn't help if the other person is easly getting himself healed.

Post by Pyros on 01/30/03 at 21:16:44
I'd still rather have BoT.

Blade of Time is better I have talked to Ste about it, he basically said cobalt staff wasn't very good at all, even though it should be a good weapon.

Speaking of which, I'm assuming they are highly rare, seeing as I've only ever seen 1 in game, but how much does a Blade of Time sell for?

Title: Re: CSotW or BoT?
Post by PopTart on 02/03/03 at 05:20:00
I'd say 6 mil and over. Gotta kill time knight which has a very low drop rate. I've heard getting there is the hardest part.

Blade Of Time hehe ask all the peopel ive pked with it . IT HURTS and also being very , very rare peopel always look me over and Gasp  ;D  ;D

They should really raise the cobalt's damage.  Not because I have one...just because yea!

Title: Re: CSotW or BoT?
Post by ICP on 02/04/03 at 03:19:58
then they will have to raise BOT Dam.  ;D

Title: Re: CSotW or BoT?
Post by Blade on 02/04/03 at 20:22:32
Why? BoT isn't a 10 mill gold weapon.

Title: Re: CSotW or BoT?
Post by Rage on 02/08/03 at 01:10:45
because its not purchased at a store with a set price.

Title: Re: CSotW or BoT?
Post by Blade on 02/08/03 at 08:56:15
Why would people buy a cobalt, if for 4 mill gold less, you can buy a BoT which is better?

im not sure who icp is but d**n do you want to go ahead and try to brag alittle more? o and i'd rather have csotw

Title: Re: CSotW or BoT?
Post by newb on 02/11/03 at 19:49:23
I would rather have a CSoTW. Mostly because it can be used at lvl 27 which makes it an awesome training weapon. BoT however is only for lvl 30 so basically it is a pk weapon. The magical and vampiric make the CsoTW alot nicer. 1 less crit to heal and your fighter can beat up the CG. /drool I will have one someday.....

Where do you get a CSotW? And where is the Time Knight for the BoT?

Title: Re: CSotW or BoT?
Post by PureMourning on 02/12/03 at 20:30:20
Not sure on Blade of Time, but you get Cobalt Staff of the Winds in Windia. (10 million gold)

Title: Re: CSotW or BoT?
Post by Stotic on 02/12/03 at 23:10:03
refer to Zephie's post.   ;D

I think I'd rather have a Cobalt Staff of the Winds opposed to a Blade of Time.

Title: Re: CSotW or BoT?
Post by Clu on 02/28/03 at 16:43:39
I think a Cobalt Staff of the Winds would be my choice. If you have the money, which isnt likely, your chances of getting it over a blade of time are better. Plus it's magical and ALL classes can use it.

Title: Re: CSotW or BoT?
Post by Xaviers_Shadow on 03/06/03 at 10:33:19
the CSotW is better in my opinion cause if you were fighting a mirror mate (someone with exactley the same weapon, Armour and stats) but you had the CSotW and he had the BoT then i think the person with the CSotW would win cause altough the BoT has a higher base dmg the CSotW can heal so while your both attacking one crit is losing health and one is losing health but also getting health back.

In short i think that the CSotW is better.

Title: Re: CSotW or BoT?
Post by Tender_Foot on 03/07/03 at 09:07:36
Blade of Time has 2 more base damage....is it really that big of a deal compared to .3 vampiric?

Title: Re: CSotW or BoT?
Post by Zerlix on 03/12/03 at 04:08:12
could you say something for me? say: D-U-H CSotW is magical, right? so that adds unseen base damage to it, i have seen this with all magical weapons
take the scarlet dagger for example, 7 base damage but it's magic you have a lvl 13 thief with a Dagger of Shadows and another with a scarlet and if they are identical crits (which i doubt could be possible) the scarlet would definately win

Same thing for BoT and CSotW i would much rather pay the whole 10 mil for the cobalt :P

oh and i just realised, this is a fighter class discussion not a weapon discussion forum

Title: Re: CSotW or BoT?
Post by Parn on 05/20/03 at 20:50:54
I choose Cobalt Staff of the Winds. Since it is magical, it can deal more damage, even though the Blade of Time has a higher base attack. To get to the Island of Chronos, you need to heal the Injured eagle, but you can't do anything without something that will allow the guards to pass them.

Title: Re: CSotW or BoT?
Post by Parn on 05/20/03 at 20:51:49
Oh, forgot to put it, Cobalt Staff is also vampiric, adding to my preference.

I always find the hardest part of chronos is the bit of jungel after the village, theres traps everywhere so you cant just invis and run through

sure you can, if you know the none traps are.

hmm i'd rather have a csotw on my zerkers to compensate for mana loss then a bot.

but with the new weapons i don't think csotw is still worth 10 mil.

Title: Re: CSotW or BoT?
Post by Tadpole on 05/21/03 at 12:10:47
I've got both Cobalt and Blade of time. I personally think cobalt is better. It can be used at a lower level and is also vamparic. It is also magical and can be used on a fighter at the Crystal giant. Blade of time to me hits around the same damage anyways. Overall i think the cobalt is better.

Title: Re: CSotW or BoT?
Post by Julius on 05/22/03 at 00:19:46
The best part about Cobalt Staff of the Winds is the lower level to equip, the vampiric stat, its magical, AND any class can use it. Which means that now you can take anyone to crystal giant and beat him up, without using a spider staff or scarlet dagger, etc etc.

How will a level 30 fighter with BoT defeat a similar level 30 fighter using CSotW? Due to the fact that you cant kill the fighter using cobalt staff unless he has no idea how to attack you, or you have 5 other characters attacking him. Show me that fight and you'll see which is better.

Title: Re: CSotW or BoT?
Post by Parn on 05/22/03 at 08:53:23
The only advantage the Blade of Time has is that you don't have to dish out all that gold for it, nothing else.

Title: Re: CSotW or BoT?
Post by Deval on 05/22/03 at 23:57:32

Uh it also has +2 base damage over the staff.

Title: Re: CSotW or BoT?
Post by Bean on 05/23/03 at 00:47:48
which hardly comes into effect. PLus its higher level to equip  ::)

Title: Re: CSotW or BoT?

Was just adding in a benefit he missed :P

Title: Re: CSotW or BoT?
Post by wonderful_nightmare on 05/23/03 at 09:21:08
but still is it worth 3 times as much as a bot?

Whether it is or isn't, people have paid for one.

Good point deval. Didnt mean to step on toes there.

I just took that the wrong way.
