Which one are you /v/?
>>320893906
A mix of speed and aesthetic.
depends on the character, whether i choose the first or second option
the third is always a consideration, though. i don't go out of my way to make the characters look good, but if some weapon or armor just looks too fucking stupid, i can't use it
caring for combat advantages is for casuals that can't git gud
the pink one will do
Where's the 4th one that understands Crits > all.
Speed > Damage > Aesthetics
I always play my games in that order. I'll always go sanic fast, then I'll think I don't dish out enough damage. In the end, I'll just choose the one where I can have fun.

Damage > Speed
Always. I'm all about hitting big.
>>320893906
The pink one. It's all about looking cute
>>320893906
Whatever gives the best stats. If all else is equal, high damage because it looks cool.
>>320893906
It's all about the damage.
I'm not happy until I'm not one or two-shotting normal enemies.
Speed typically means agi/dex which is usually the only way to be a proper dickstabbing thief, and I am all about stabbing and thieving,
>>320894132
In many games, mostly JRPGs, this is completely true.
>>320894225
>crits
10% chance of kek
>game has defense that needs to be "broken"

the pink one
Damage + Pink
Now what are the stats on the pink one? If it's not much worse statewise that other options then I'd go for the good looking high damage weapon.
Damage and I still can roll and dodge out of the way with my superior heavy armour also.
>>320893906
Where's the shield? I need to be able to take the biggest hit possible while whittling the enemy down using either medium strength hits or status magic.Cleric > all
Which one /v/?
>>320894132
This makes me chuckle everytime.
>>320893906
Damage. Damage. Damage. Damage.
I prefer to be slowed to an incredible amount proportionate to the amount of damage I'm dealing. And I like the buildup to definitive climax of a motherfucker becoming one with the universe as my weapon erases his name from history.
>>320894994
Staff since an extra MP in that game is OP.
>>320893906
If its an easy game, which it probably is, then the cute one otherwise I usually go for speed
>>320894994
sword.
>>320894994
Shieldno need to thank me
>>320894994I actually don't know shit when I first played this game back in the days and always picked the sword. What does it do anyway?
>>320893906
>No "speed=damage" option.
>>320893906
It depends. There are some games where the faster one will deal more damage because of procs or enchantments are base damage and not weapon based. Damage if anything else.
>>320893906
Having a cute character > Relying on stats
If you're good, you can carry any build, while looking cute
>>320895245
That's the pink one.
>>320893906
I tend to get distracted by superficial details, so the pink blade.
>>320894994
Staff is great because the extra MP makes your gravity attacks stronger, and you can one-shot dark balls with it by the time you get to hollow bastion.
Shield is still the best choice, because having 2 extra slots for mega-elixers cannot be beat.
>>320895245
Bro, minmaxing is the only way to be.
>>320893906
Depends on the RPG.
For example, in games like Phantasy Star Online, stronger classes and weapons are the absolute best.
In fast-paced RPG's, you may find yourslef using a faster weapon simply because survivability is higher.
Weapons that look cool, but suck ass can be made to be better in certain games, so there's thay as well.
So to re-state what I said before, it depends on the game.
>>320893906
>no mention of crits
More speed --> more crits --> more damage
less speed --> less crits --> less damage
Unless you're one-shotting mobs without crits, speed wins. If you're one-shotting mobs, then you're either in an under-leveld zone or the game is casualized garbage.
>>320895215
Sword is considered the most useless because all it gives you is +1 STR, which can be obtained easily with an item.
Weapon choice also affects the order of what moves you learn.
Whatever has the higher stats at the time. Using a weapon that's fast, but come across a slow one that just has overall higher numbers? Switch up.
>>320893906
I play defensively in every game, nearly support like. I main Bowser in smash, I play tank characters in MMOs and focus on health, and in survival games I go for heavy armor instead of weapons. Dont know why I play like that.
/v/, in any typical RPG with typical stat categories, what category do you put all your stat points in?
>>320894225
Crits are shit in some games though.
In PSO2, crits only make you do 100% of your highest possible damage, unless you're using a crit-build which is always shit in that game.
>>320893906
I like crowd control. Nothing beats blinds or paralysis.

Pay more attention to DPS rather than number outputs.
Defense
Damage all the way. I like doing big hits.
>>320895635
dex/agi. I enjoy being a fast, mobile backstabber.
The pink one is a grief weapon.
Someone post the pic with all those swords with different effects, for example Fire = More damage, Diamond = more crit damage etc
>>320894994
sword or staff
shield is for shitters
>>320893906
but i thought the pink one is beam saber
Damage > Speed
I'd rather be a knight than a ninja, thank you very much.
>>320894994
Best option is Take Staff, Sacrifice Sword.
>>320894994
Shield is obvious best choice.
If you're some fag who can't handle that, the only 100% incorrect choice also happens to be sacrificing the shield.
Go figure.
>>320893906
>Speed
>Strength
>Aesthetic
>Not going for speed+strength
>there are only daggers and greatswords
fuck you, wheres my longsword?
Depends entirely upon mechanics. In a game with absolutely no defense factors, speed will always win, in a game where the opposite is true, damage wins usually. The problem comes after that; what is the monster weak or strong to? can they evade attacks? can they 1shot you, which will require you to sacrifice damage for defense or HP? Is the game pants on head retarded like Star Ocean 4 where crits ignore 100% of defense and all attacks that aren't crits in the highest difficulty do 1 damage?
Who hybrid hero here?
Versatility is the best.
legitimately the pink one or any unique weapon model
>>320893906
>pink sword
>not a pink sparkling effect magical girl wand
you are such a fucking faggot anon, you messed up the last one.

Now the choice should be more fair.

Speed's for fags. One clean hit can take an AGI fag out.

>implying you'll ever hit me
Assuming the overall dps is the same faster is almost always better then higher damage. Damage is more stable for sure and depending on the game you can may get more procs or interrupt more of the enemy's actions.
PVP is where it's arguable since burst damage can make a world of difference.
>>320895557
It depends how much damage a crit actually does.
If the sword's base damage is high enough, fewer crits won't matter.
>>320895706
>crit strike
>shit
Inevitable strike was one of the better potentials too until reds and main class bonus came and ruined everything
>>320899924
>ruined everything
spotted the fi faggot crying now that it isn't the top with memebreak and crit bonus.
>>320894132
The sad thing is that most of the time in vidya "speed" is superior.
Fucking dexfags ruining immersion with their Naruto horseshit.
>>320900060
What if I just wanted to play t-atk boots which depended on crit strike but s-atk boots are just plain superior now?
>>320895635
>typical RPG
AGI, because it determines turn speed and with high enough of it you'll move twice as fast as a defensive enemy, this means you could potentially attack on the first turn and then use a defend/block/evade ability on the second.
>>320900273
Oh, well in that case that's just sega being fucking terrible at balancing as usual.
melee most fun, yet ranged and fo are more boring but more efficient, go figure.
>>320895635
Solo or multi?
>>320895635
INT is usually masterrace in any RPG that has an INT stat
