Opinions on Jaw Sword, Dark Dagger, and Plasma Sword?

[Miss Jackson]

Currently using Jaw Sword, but I also have a Dark Dagger available to make as well as a plasma sword. Any suggestions?

[Bigwhitehound]

I have a Dark Dagger (R30), it's a OK weapon, nothing special but it is fast, Plasma Sword is IMO, a piece of crap, minds R28 and it was a pain the whole way, does impact damage, making it only really useful against shields, even with mods to add Puncture and Slashing damage, it's not much use. On the other hand it's higher crit chance make a critical/elemental build almost worth it (add every mod to increase crit and status chances). I'm building the Jaw Sword now, so I don't know if it's good or not; on paper it seems OK.

All relatively useless. These are weapons to level for mastery, then dump.

Galatine is probably the strongest heavy weapon you can get, prehaps tied with Orthos prime. It's much easier to get, however.

The basic single sword or single dagger style is rather weak because it can't hit multiple targets at once and does nothing special. You probably want either dual daggers of some sort or a heavy weapon. Dual zoren (axes) is also good for movement speed, but not so much for actual combat.

The only single sword worth keeping is the dakra prime, if you can get one built.

[Rosenkreuz Kontrol]

The Jaw sword is the only non-dagger melee weapon that focuses puncture damage. It's not a lot, but it's a thing.
The plasma sword focuses on impact damage with a decent chance to proc impact's knockback effect.
Now, the Dark Sword/Dagger is an interesting case. During their charge animation, they have a chance to do a bit of aoe damage of whatever elemental mod(s) might be equipped.

They are all useless. lvl them, sell them or keep them if they look good on your frame but until they rework mellee combat using range weapons is way more effective.

Its not like you can stack all elements on the dark melees to rip shields

But, really now, it's not rocket science.

Bloody check the date of the last ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ post hm?! Is it really that hard for you? Not like it's right there...for crying out loud why are people necroing more and more threads nowadays, bloody braindead people...

^This exactly
This was before even melee 2.0. Don't just search for crap and comment. It's important to check the date, especially with a game that updates as reguarly as Warfarm.

That's especially true since augments, yes. Some old weapons got new love, Jaw Sword included, and it won't be the last time DE will do something like it.

Fully agreeing here.
