Dual Shards+8 or Shard+8 and CHD+7

[MushtMan]

Well what's better?

- Dual Shards+8
OR
- Shard+8 and CHD+7

I've seen some people say Shards+8 and one person says he hits more with CHD+7 and Shard+8.

So what are your opinions? And please state why.

Thanks.

P.S. This is for Ardream

[Biaxident]

personally id prefer chd, i just like the bonus'...right now in dcz i use MD +9 and CHD +8 and i love them

[Chopy-Spyr]

I would go for dual shard +8 in ardream. This is just mine personal opinion, but i think that the ap from shard can probably help more than dex bonus on this level. Since im not sure about it i recommend to u KingOfKnight and Character Guide where u can set items on ur char and check ur stats

[Painf00l]

chd is a nice dagger, but only at + 8 or higher. the ap on a + 7 is to low. So unless you can get a + 8 chd stick with dual shard 8.

[LambOfGod]

exactly chd +7 is almost useless , and for pk chd is very important cus of resistainces that it give .


if you can affor it go for shard +8 and chd +8 =D

[SSlayer]

well for dcz i'd prefer chd+7 due to the fact it still has pretty good ap, but also the resists...
for a rogue in dcz cause u dont have MS resists are needed...if u have a chd+7 u wont then need to get RE's and other resist accessories and u can focis on other stuff like 16/3 dex ears instead of re's...

[Painf00l]

a fair point, but considering the only hard hitting attack you've got is spike, for ardream i'd say that ap is more important then resistances. I dont know what your servers like, but generally theres only a few geared mages that play ardream. Ive always been for balancing your character out, but i just think chd 7 is just to low a.p. i guess it also depends on the rest of your gear.

At slayer>> dont know prices on your server, but i reckon a 16/3 would be about the same price as r.e + 2, which is definately the better option

[CityWok]

depends on your server really if you get stun and slowed alot i would go chd +7 but if not shard +8 for sure

[SSlayer]

yeh fair enough, depends on server and how many mages u have,,
when i played olympia DCZ there were quite a few mages
and being slowed got very annoying
so when i got a chd it worked great...
i used 14/2 ears, wp (also gives resist), skelly, dual rol, cleavers+9/chd+7 and chitin+8/fp+9...
seemed to be a perfect build for oly dcz cause good resist + high ap

[MushtMan]

I'm in C-West, right now my gear is:

Full chitin set +1/12

Old EME
Old Elf Belt
Old Black Dragon Necklace
Old ROLS

Shard+8
CHD+7

-------------

Could you recommend gear that i can improve (nothing ridiculously expensive), just something i can get over time (not too long).

Thanks for the replies btw.

[CityWok]

not to expensive i would go with skeleton belt and wp or something along those lines but those are just my preferences then work your way up my friend

[MushtMan]

not to expensive i would go with skeleton belt and wp or something along those lines but those are just my preferences

I was looking more for stuff that would really improve like +1 stuff. cus +0 i can buy old.

[CityWok]

re's are my choices for dcz try gettin +1 or maybe even +2

[YourCorpse]

I'd take dual shard +8
All CHD is good for is the extra elemental

[toolbar]

not and not
dual claaver +9
