Giant Sword is useless. And yes, your Mook Sam can use it.
Its a fab weapon but is SOOOOO heavy requires huge amounts of Stamina. Ok in a short battle but the longer battles one char will permanently be casting Stamina for the wielder. EVen with maxed Vit you will run out of stamina after a couple of rounds.

Lightweight weapons are best in this game, they require less stamina and improve initiative. Lightweight weapons with Crit % are the optimal.

Samurais apart from their role playing aspects are also a waste of time. Yes, they CAN be good, but a good Sam is never as good as a good Fighter or Rogue and level up slower. If you concentrate on their magic aspects then all you end up with a poor magic user and poor melee char. They rarely Lightning Strike and their crits are determined by their weapons. This game is all about specialised chars. Hybrids in general are a poor relation to specialists.

Apart from a well trained Bishop IMO the simple chars are the best in this game - Fighter, Rogue, Bard. Ninjas are useless also EXCEPT of course the Fairie Ninja with CoC but even then its a close call between a FN and Fighter with good weapons. Build a good Fighter with Staff of Doom and then see how good your FN looks, the Fighter with SoD will make them look like a girlie [img]smile.gif[/img]
