broken war better than war?

[Bryan=0101]

I have had great runs with the broken war sword. When i got the war i insantly ran into to trouble killing enemies of similar level i'm not sure this is due to poor modding on my part or not. However i can't help but feel the broken war may be the better weapon(sure the war has more base damage but there's more to a weapon than that)

So is it better or worse? Am i a bad modder?

I would prefer broken war, and especially because Galatine P beats War

obviously when it comes to damage war is by far way superior, most people prefer broken war because of the attack speed but you can mod the war to have close to the same speed, i would say its personal preference but mostly you just dont have the right mods for your war.

Personally i do prefer other swords to the war like galatine is way superior but again it all trickles down to personal preference

You'll need to look at your modding.

War is the No2 weapon in the game behind Galatine. Bear in mind its an impact weapon, I always combine this with Gas or Toxin to ignore shields. Both status effects scale with your damage too.

You shouldn't mod for crit and speed before installing proper elementals. Aside from this, modding for impact is pretty pointless unless you got a maxed primed mod, even then it's suboptimal choice imo. Try to install reach, pressure point, elemental mods to get solid Corrosive or Viral damage without crit mods and compare the experience.

I only know one setup which kinda works without elementals and it is relies heavily on installing a ton of event combo mods.

If you don't have Blood Rush, there's never a point in running Crit.

Both are amazing. Different playstyles ofc. due to one being a shortsword and the other a twohander. Anyway.. first install 3-4 elemental dmg mods, get berserker, bloodbath and some default dmg/crit mods and voila. Even better when used with Naramon focus

You are comparing to a sword to a greatsword. Greatswords deal more damage, have longer range at the cost of attack speed.
I prefer the Broken War, because by far it's the best sword I have ever used and I find greatswords too slow, I consider my melee weapon as a backup that can strike fast with enough force. Also, please note that War deals mainly IMPACT, meanwhile Broken War dealsmainly SLASH.

The most objective advice I can give is:

Broken War is curently the best Long Sword in the game.

War isn't the best Great Sword in the game. Galatine Prime beats it in every cathegory.

So yeah, Broken War is objectively worth more if you want to have the best weapon in each cathegory.

hold on..??

So your saying that the base stats of the borken war are HIGHER than the base stats of the WAR??

Thats backwards and really doesnt make sense.

Screenshots of both weapons unmodded please?

Broken War pros:
Slash damage
Decent status damage
High speed


War:
High crit
Long range


The weapons are 2 different types of weapons that fill two different playhttps. Both are good in thier own right but must be modded / weilded for the right purpose

It's important to note that Broken War is a Sinful mess to FashionFrame.

It's extremely ugly and has a similar effect to TF2's Gibus, I.e you look like a unaware noob.

I didn't really think about elemental modding it's just my unhealthy modset/mindset
