I been doin MC. I think it works. Might be placebo or small ticks to charge/combat, but both are near max and I'm not full clade so I've gotten lil ticks up like striker, +2 str, etc, gonna get the last one with +1 size +1 dmg. The ONLY problem I have w/ MC atm is the weight is fuckery. I made some Jade axes of different types and the fact that it wouldn't let me use a jade 3.6 wt wep was really wack. It doesn't even drain my stam. About 20 blunt 30 slash tho and MC would be hitting good nuff. I'm not gonna touch lances cuz I feel like lances (while they were a cool flavor at first) are benefiting from a broken mechanic. I'm hitting like 30s vs bone armor w/ an incis axe on a proper swing. Would like to be able to hit steel for 30 (altho I dunno if it's still so easy to parry like it used to be, that kind of negates it.)
Whoever decided lances should be the MC wep is a fool, legit. They should have their use, but the meta wep? Much less skill. It takes more skill than you think to zoom around, hit people w/ good arcs, esp now with squishier mounts. I know I'm still getting used to it, not that I was ever good. But it's fun. Cuz you gotta make sure to charge the swing right so that you don't overhold it either and kill your dmg. Thinking of trying bluntz if nothing else. I also wanna know if there is a hard cap on MC wt or if like a 121 str (opposed to my 110) could wield better MC weps. I still like having +100 dex tho so I'm not so cumbersome. Like I said Jade/Cronite level axe would be perfect. Before, you could use even messing stuff... I dunno why you can't use 5wt or whatever if you are strong enough. Those would be some real banger hits if you could, though. That's the main thing stopping MC from being OK. You can hit mobs for good dmg or prol horses, but vs a player, the dmg just isn't enough to take what would be a return strike (not to mention the possibility of arrows.)
Def would like to know, if anyone wants to test, all you have to do is pick up some weps and get on a horse and take them out... can you hold heavy weps as max str like ogh or Thur? Like I said a brute double kall of jade would be <3
Edit: I can hit for more than 90 dmg on a dummy or a mob
w/ a flake DK. Not even in 4th.
