Great Swords.

[Serial Rain]

For DRK's, when do Great Swords become outclassed -completely- by Scythes, in every possible aspect, at higher or mid levels? (Ie; Weapon Skills, Damage output, Price, etc.)

Also, as I recall, there are a few Paladin-only Great Swords available in the game. (I think there's also a Spear/Polearm, but I'm not sure 'bout that.) The only one that I can recall was called the Flameberge, I think. I've actually seen quite a few higher level Paladins (Ie. Ones who are wearing Full sets of AF Armors and whatnot.) use them. Is it worth it working up the Great Sword skill, at the -possible- expense of leveling up the shield skill, for those high-end PLD-Only G-swords?

Thanks.

Scythe becomes more efficient than 2-hand sword in every way at level 49 when you get vorpal scythe, but it's still useable. At level 60 it completely wipes it off the table.

It worth to skill up Great Sword, you maybe have to use Great Sword in PT for some Skillchain.
For example: Power Slash > Dancing Edge

But please don't use under skill Weapon in level up PT^^
At higher level, they are some skill up PT everyday.
Please join them to skill up your weapon or make your own PT.
