Probably a stupid question.. but i'll ask anyway ^^
Apparently, from what i was told you can equip a shield, Cast Pan Barrier and go back dual weilding and Pan Barrier will still work.Cause technically pan barrier is suppose to "increase range attacks with shield" but it works without the shield. So i was wondering if the same applies with sword buffs. Say you do that with a sword, equip it cast its buff, switch to axes. Will swords buff stay and "accuracy from buff" still work? Also will the dmg still be in effect?
Also the attack speeds. In WoW, the atk speeds of dual weilding varies. Each hand has its own atk speed. So using a slow in main hand and fast in off hand usually produce more dmg, atleast that is in the case of World of Warcraft. So for FlyFF, if have sword as main and axe as offhand will my attack speed will be that of a sword? or axe?
If it same atk spd as Axe, wouldn't it be better to Main hand a sword (like Historic Sword +5str +7% crit) and offhand a axe (like Historic Axe +20%hp +7%aspd). Wouldnt that combination be better? then dual wielding swords or axes.
Also even if you have 100% aspd, will you still attacker faster when more buffs are applied giving you more 100%+ atk spd even tho its not displayed as such.
Thanks in advance.
(can probably check official forums for answer or test it myself, but i rather ask first then spend time(and penya) testing when it might have been tested already)
Sorry if someone already asked this but what stats should i put up if im gonna be blade while im a merc, what skills should i put and what weapon, because I heard axe is better with blade

No. You can only use the sword buffs when you have a sword in your right hand, and, likewise, you can only use the axe buffs when you have an axe in your right hand. When the sword or axe leaves your right hand, its associated buffs disappear. However, your left-hand weapon does not affect the buffs you can cast.
Also, Empower Weapon only works when your right-hand weapon is elemented, and apparently jewel piercings on Ultimate weapons only work for your right-hand weapon, not to mention that (from what I've heard and seen) you inflict more damage with your right-hand weapon than your left (which explains why the durability of your right-hand weapon decreases faster, yes?).
And the Pan Barrier/Protection trick does work. Just equip a noob shield, cast the buffs, put your left-hand weapon back on. But the same trick won't work with swords/axes.

Depends what level you are currently. I believe Swords are better then Axe from lvls 1 - 90 really. In my opinion Historic Axes (lv 75) are used for the HP bonus when fighting Roaches (Pinkies). They are not exactly better. At 90 its where Axes truly shine. 2x Angel Axes bonus will give you +40% Crit +14 Dex
The extra dex, will increase the lack of accuracy axes have. Full strength disadvantage is probably there accuracy. Less hits, but more dmg when it does hit. I use the 73 dex build... with a +5 set it is 74 dex +20 dex from cannon = 94 dex whihc also lets me hit 2nd speed break. I prefer my hits connect then misses..
The exact build you want really depends on your preference really.
And as a mercenary, its mostly str and some sta, and hopefully you have a RM to give you max cannon/accuracy while you level. If not then you will have to add dex or use a sword cause sword buffs increase accuracy.
Also, Empower Weapon only works when your right-hand weapon is elemented, and apparently jewel piercings on Ultimate weapons only work for your right-hand weapon, not to mention that (from what I've heard and seen) you inflict more damage with your right-hand weapon than your left (which explains why the durability of your right-hand weapon decreases faster, yes?).
Hmm, does Empower weapon still effect the off-hand weapon then? Or Upgrading the element on off-hand isn't as important then the main hand?

I'm not sure if Empower affects left-hand, but I would think it doesn't. At any rate, it's better to have the highest +'d and elemented weapon in the right hand since it hits more often anyways (and it's what's counted in the attack rating).
Hmm... hey Sera. I would say its better to have a high elemented weapon in the right hand, and have a high +ed weapon in the left hand. Remember, the left hand weapon gains a 75% attack bonus.
Also is anyone going to answer my question back on the bottom of page 2? Or am i forgotten...

Does it really? It doesn't matter much anyway since it is so easy to reach the speed cap.

I cant really see what about this is a question though. But I think what you mean is, I'm not wealthy and should I buy both Axes? -No you should not. Skip Angel Axes and save for LG's, they last longer. Use Dretra/H Sword/Angel Sword with that budget.

Go for: Str xxx
Sta -30-40
Dex - 80
Skills are your ax ones, sword ones, beserk, pan barrier (pvp) protection, impower weapon, slash and keenwheel.

Thanks psych. Angel swords look like the way to go...although i do like the H Swords crit bonuses. And yeah fenix, i can reach the 100% aspd break without buffs. Without beserk i have 92% aspd anyway lol. Although with the angel swords....they give aspd and hp so it could be useful for a pure str surviving. Thanks guys
Alright, this is my to-be-blade, on demian, keep that in mind; I've been having a little trouble settling on a good amount of dex, but I think I'm going with either 50 base dex or 60 base dex. My reasoning is simple; If I assume I have a FS with me at all times, then it shouldn't be that hard to get the extra 3 dex for the axe speed-break, or 16 for the sword one. But my only concern is that I might not have enough accuracy. There is no way in hell I'm going to be able to afford anything over +3 on demian (probably not even +3, clean is good enough for me )
So, to summarize:
Should I get 50 dex or 60 dex, and is that enough for hit rate with no armor accuracy bonuses? (meaning, only buffs)
and
How do blades do without greens? (500m LGA=nty)
