Hmn i think the Long arming sword is the winner here you wont notice -1 cut but you will notice the upkeep diffrence lol
Fair enough...the differences are debatable. Both the damage AND upkeep are very slight differences.
However, I think the thing you would notice most with the LAS is the lack of customer interest when it comes time to sell/trade it again.
That's where I'm claiming the biggest advantage here, and why my offer is quite attractive to the discerning eye!
