Thread: Two Hope Bringer's Swords, which would you choose?

    Two Hope Bringer's Swords, which would you choose?

    So I got beaten up by some guy who was much lower level and wondered why he was so powerful. So I remembered his name and looked him up in the Rankings. The main difference between us seemed to be down to one main hand weapon. Here they both are:

    Tynon Hope Bringer's Sword.jpg

    So to summarise, his Level 32 sword has +2946 Attack and +1288 Skill Attack (including runes). My Level 22 sword has +2806 Attack and +1108 Skill Attack (including runes and set bonus) but also has other set bonuses including +1000 HP.

    So you might assume my sword would be around the same power as his or even slightly higher. But no, my sword has a power of 26,764 and this dude's sword has a power of 135,320!! That's over 5 times the power of my sword.

    Why???!!!!

    His character is 6 levels lower than me, hasn't been sainted and has less stars. He has slightly more HP but we have identical command, strength and intelligence. All his other items have less power than mine. He does have some kick-ass runes though: Bane, Nimbleness, Partisan and Vigor.

    We are the same class (archer)... but his toon is male and mine is female. Is that why my toon is so much weaker than his?

    Has to be about Talents... he probably have his Strength of Steel much higher than yours.

    The +1000HP is a set bonus, not the sword's bonus.

    There are a lot of factors why you could have lost.

    Saint attributes, Talents, Formation are just some factors.

    I believe he was inquiring about the difference in power on this equipment in particular, not why he lost. Which has to be the Talent.

    Okay, so (as I said) we have the same attributes, he hasn't been sainted and neither have I, Formation doesn't come into it; I'm just comparing two weapons.

    So that leaves Talent. This guy is Level 53 and I am Level 59 so I don't see how he could have invested so much into talents as to make his weapon FIVE times more powerful than mine? I have gone for a pretty broad spectrum so I suppose if he ONLY invested in Strength of Steel then he could have more physical damage. But it seems the return on Strength of Steel is pretty linear and the cool down time is exponential... so I just don't buy that. Also, our other items are pretty much the same, so it's just the weapon on his main character that seems imbalanced. If he had only invested in Strength of Steel I would expect his other items to have fallen behind mine?

    Maybe I'm missing something?

    You took the screen shot of your weapon from your heroes tab and his from profile, correct?

    If so, the profile power of equipment displays incorrectly, and if you click your name in chat, your sword will have a higher power then if you hover over it in hero tab. Same for all equipment.

    I would say u need to look at his runes. when ur looking at his team in rankings theres a runes in the top right above his equipment. ill bet its ridiculous.
