ranja dual weild

[blondeattk]

i was lookign at this weapon and thought this would be good offhander....

http://wiki.project1999.com/Velium_Swiftblade

however it has dawned on me that the haste may only work on the one hand?

There any real benefit to using this weapon?

I dont know the fancy maths, but is this really worth more than a jade mace?

If your current offhand is a rusty short sword and you already have decent haste with a FBSS + ench/shaman in group, this would be a slight upgrade.

It's junk sadly, great to see haste on an item but the stats otherwise are terrible. If I was a caster and it was a useable dagger I might maybe possibly use it.

was reading the zam page and its rather confused as to whether the haste affects both hands.....people claiming yes and no.

need someone who can crunch the data.

Haste on weapons affects your entire character. See rogue epic. Again, if you are already haste capped (easy to do pre lv 50), this is equal to throwing on a rusty weapon.

no this is for a lvl 16 ranja twink with no haste at all.

so this would be a good item for said char then....

wait till level 17 and put it in offhand with dual wield.

Dual wield really sucks until like at least 26.

`Haste on weapons affects your entire character.`

not that bow dps is good on p99, but would this also affect the range slot weapon too?

Worn hate doesnt affect archery. That is why there are quivers that give quiver haste(replacement for worn haste for rangers and archery).

Worn haste should affect archery, that is currently non-classic here on p99. Also, quiver haste won't be in for another couple months, and quiver haste is pretty weak: Fleeting Quiver will give 20% archery haste, tailored quiver will give like 7% (one-third of weight reduction stat.)

Saying a velium swiftblade is bad is the p99 echo chamber in full effect

If you're Under level 40 and if you have a velium swiftblade in your offhand you're going to fuck shit up. No ifs ands or buts about it. a Jade Mace or a Lammy with a velium swiftblade is just a rude combo.

36% haste is really good. Especially for lower level toons with their lower dual wield skills.

Even with capped dw skill at higher levels; you gotta remember that the large majority of your dps output is coming from your primary hand. Yeah your offhand ratio will suck but it will make your primary 36% better than no haste and a 15% bump over fbss.
