Stop using velium swiftblades
 

Jace mace is an amazing balance of afforable primary hand weapon that also does really good damage. 750pp for a weapon that's only 12% less damage than a Statue of Rallos Zek hammer.

Velium Swiftblade on the other hand is horrible damage. Yes it has 36% haste, but that does not make up for a 5/24 ratio.

I keep seeing people 50+ rocking something along the lines of a Crystalline Short Sword + Velium Swiftblade. Just get a 2 jade maces and SCHW. You'll do around 16% more damage for about the same price.

Butt what about archery?

I use it in my off hand on my 20 ranger who has no other haste item. My offhand barely swings at this level. So the haste % is great for lower levels, especially those without another haste.
And yes good for archery too :)

dat katana graphic doe

It is the best held weapon for archers!! 36% haste?!

Add to that 20% haste from fleeting quiver....and you have 56% haste on your bow!!! That is crazy! For only a couple thousand too.

It is a crime that enchanters use it to give to their pets :|

You can plunk with your damn bow all day and your dps is still useless from it. There's a reason they literally doubled archery damage in Luclin. The only time to bow is if you have a BFG and need the dps. And if you have a BFG you're probably going to have a better haste item.

Yah I guess it's decent at low levels. Why you'd waste 3k on an item that will be good til maybe 45 is beyond me tho.

You fool!!! You do not know the power of archery!!

I've seen your posts about archery. You're flat out wrong. Maybe if you wanna play roleplay-quest 1999 - but if you want efficiency, none of the stuff you spout is remotely accurate.

I see the problem now....you are afraid of the power of archery....so you deny facts about it!

Low efficiency? Hah! A good archer can out-solo exp most classes! Not only that, but they can hold down camps others couldn't dream of (for example, soloing Tantor!!!!!).

Impressed? You should be! It is impressive!!
