GL.exe Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) I think Silva & Aegis should also benefit from Master Swordsman as the weapon is Sword affiliated. Edit; If they already benefit from Master Swordsman then please disregard this post. Edited July 1, 2015 by ExxeFrame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silva's still sword. how do you know that silva is a sword? maybe blacksmith called the sword "aegis" and shield "silva" just to play with our minds?

TheBrsrkr Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Sigh...... Once again, fighting styles from one weapon will not always apply to the other simply because they are similar. You would not use the Galatine the way you would use the Skana. You would not use the Ninkana the same way you would use the Nami Solo. Why would you use the Silva and Aegis the same way then? Shields are cumbersome, and not very light. They also add another layer of defense not available to single or dual swords. You would not use it purely offensively, so why would you get a bonus for doing so? The sword and the shield are not two weapons, they are two parts of the same weapon.

CruelCrow Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 how do you know that silva is a sword? maybe blacksmith called the sword "aegis" and shield "silva" just to play with our minds? Well, Aegis is Latin for shield and IIRC the designer made it that way in his post so yeah :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GL.exe Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 (edited) murcielago is italian for bat but it's a car, whats your point? =D The stance clearly states SWORD and Shield. But whatever. I just suggested it because the weapon's slow with short reach and is as strong as a normal Skana without a Crimson Dervish multiplier. Sigh...... Once again, fighting styles from one weapon will not always apply to the other simply because they are similar. You would not use the Galatine the way you would use the Skana.

They also add another layer of defense not available to single or dual swords. You would not use it purely offensively, so why would you get a bonus for doing so? The sword and the shield are not two weapons, they are two parts of the same weapon. The passive is literally called Master Swordsman. The Galatine is a GREATSWORD, its a completely different from a normal SWORD and is more related to an AXE/BLUNT WEAPON. I'm not saying that they should be used the same way, seriously how did you take a single sentence out of proportion? I'm saying it should benefit from MASTER SWORDSMAN passive BECAUSE its SWORD related. Not once did I say that Silva&Aegis should be used similarly. They may be considered as a singular weapon, but the fact remains is that most of its attacks are utilized through Silva - the sword. Eleventh Storm utilizes the Aegis[sHIELD] rarely out of all its Combos while the rest of it utilizes the Silva[LITERALLY A FLAME SWORD]. The shield literally has no defensive mechanisms in game. The Shield IS light, it expands and is often thrown to deal its best damage. It has a short attack range too - hell the Skana literally slams 1 meter more than the Aegis&Silva. If anything the Passive would help make this weapon a legitimately good weapon. It has the SAME damage as a Skana and requires a FORMA to craft too. It's clearly used offensively[look at all the combos], blocking with it has no advantages if you try to compare it with every other weapon in game.
