Hello, first I'd like to thank anyone who will help me.

I've been playing crpg for a while now and I am still undecided about what 2h weapon should i use. I've been using dadao and miaodao swords, because i like its speed rating and high cut damage. I want to ask you..is it worth buying and trying Danish greatsword? I think it is good in its length. Dadao=115 ; Danish GS=124. Also, the greatsword has some other cons. It has a thrust damage, that is good for example as an opening strike for a fight, and the thrust damage of it, which is good against heavily armored foes. BUT I am afraid of the high upkeep of the Danish GS and also of the speed rating. What do you think, what do you prefer?

Dadao or Danish GS?

I stopped reading here.

Only use the dadao if you feel uncomfortable with thrusts.

Like I told you when you asked in the server, they are different. Try them both, or try the Great Sword or Sword of War too, these two are something in between.

The thing is that 2h stab is a very good attack.

Dadao is awful. Danish Greatsword, while not top dog of 2H swords anymore is still extremely good weapon.

If you want to use something cheap but good, use Shortened Military Scythe, is way better than Dadao.

You really feel that way? I owned a +3 SMS and a +3 Dadao before the buff to Dadao and I definitely preferred the Dadao back then. Dadao is possibly the best 2H in the game for my playstyle with 2H though, which is lolswinging like a boss. It's fabolous for it with the high damage and curved blade.

I have used the miaodao on my main for multiple generations, the weapon (along with the cooler looking dadao) is very capable of dishing out a ton of damage and is pretty basic to use. It does come with a fairly massive weakness when compared to the danish though. The 2h stab attack is insanely good when it comes to fighting in groups, holding ground, feinting, and most importantly defending/attacking enemy cav players. Having recently tried out the danish, those cav fighting capabilities has made going back to the miaodao difficult. It lets you have the advantages of a lengthy spear user with the damage and speed of a 2h.

The danish speed rating isn't a big problem when played correctly, but speedy weapon (katanas/longsword) users can sometimes force you to block twice instead of attacking. If you want, you can hold the fabled "s" key to regain advantage.

I would have to recommend just about any stab-able two handed sword over the dadao when it comes to maximizing the effect you can have in a game. My personal opinion is that you should use whatever weapon you are most attracted towards and make it work. The dao weapons are still awesome, especially after the recent buffs.

Dadao is a beautiful weapon wielded correctly. if your game as a 2her doesnt rely on abusing stab I highly recommend Dadao, Miaodao nad even Nodachi.

Panos, you're really boring. Not funny any more.

For its price Dadao is great weapon, especially after recent buff. If you are new here and want to save some money Dadao should be your choice. You can also try heavy bastard sword or Longsword, also great cheap swords. Shortened mil scythe is really ugly so I wouldn't take it, no matter how good it is

Miaodao and Dadao are completely different weapons, looking at stats they might look similar but they are not. Dadao feels clumsy and has weird hitbox while Miaodao is elegant spammy sword. Nodachi is also better than Dadao, it's noticeably longer and feels more natural.

Gurnisson, have you played 2H recently?

Don't hang overmuch in stats; both are good weapons and should as any weapon be chosen first and foremost for their purpose, how they feel in your hands and for their aesthetics. The history of a weapon is for me personally a factor, aswell.

Each player will have a unique playstyle (to some extent), so you need to use both until you have a solid grasp on which you like. A large factor is also if you are a Battle Player or a Siege player, as in most Siege maps the Danish will be bouncing/interrupting off the walls or hitting the enemy far too soon (unless you lolstab) in cramped corridors.
