| Hello again.
I watched a few fights from french labrute and I saw many people having knife as a weapon. On my brutes I am not choosing any "bad" weapons waiting for this 1-2 good ones, but levelling is hard then, so I wonder is knife considered good at higher levels? It is a fast weapon and can hit a few times... and then some more... so accepting a knife on low levels is a good thing that helps brute win more fights daily.
Can I ask more advanced members to elaborate on pros and cons for knife? What skills add up great with this weapon, which skills should be evaded etc... | |

| Knife with Master of Arms and First Strike + Meditation is a deadly weapon. | |

| and the chance to get those 4 at 1 brute is very very low knife can be a good weapon but just with master of arms but I don't recomand to you to take it... it isn't so good | |

| Sabotage + knife - do you think it is a good idea? i have brute: (green - what I took) What if I add knife to that? It gives speed and I think a bit initiative too (or all my brutes that took knife right away when battle start were so lucky to always go first???), and chance of multihits - so higher chance of sabotaging weapons...? | |

| scimitar is much better than knife, so it won't be a good idea, but if you want you can try subpaths there | |

| I mean i like it, it takes low dmg, but may do 4-5x strike so it can be strong also. your choice, try it out one time | |

Of course scimitar is much better - a bit better damage, better multihit, better counter and block. But for my brute scimitar is taken out late in a game (usually) - and it helps killing oponent but it does not help in sabotaging oponents weapons. And knife is usually taken out fast and with my first strike it may (If I am lucky) get 2x damage and then go once more and do 1-2x times damage - that means 3-4 weapons of my oponent are destroyed... At least It is how I imagine this to happen... So I may try choosing knife before scimitar, but I think for now I will explore this path a bit more - and knives are prettty common so there is a chance I would be offered it again soon right? :) By the way - she just ranked up today :) Scimitar helped a lot. | |

| it is a tricky path, i personly would change it and take a new destiny. but if you choose to explore it, you could try +3 Agi at lvl6 instead of counter because if you will go with the knife , your destiny will be average or a bit above that, but you will need alot of Skills to make it great, which is unlikely to happend about the knife: (+ good) , (- bad) - generaly you shouldn´t take the knife without or before Weapons Master at all. - the knife combind with counter + shield is an OK weapon but not ideal for such type of brutes unless you have many fast and good blocking weapons like the sai or cimeter. + it is a very good weapon combind with First Strike, Thief and "Tornado of Blows" - it can be blocked with the shield easily. - it can be thrown fast as a single weapon, so it is mostly more effective along with 1 or 2 other weapons. + it is the best Speed drainer in the game , very powerfull against opponents with low Speed. | |

| is scimitar good? i havent seen many brutes using it. How would you rank these with each other: knife, broadsword, scimitar | |

| IMO the knife is a very good weapon with first strike and weapon master thanks to the speed boost and its wonderful accuracy (best after leek). Nice damages for a offensive weapon.
Scimitar is a little different, the boost in speed is not the same, a little bit less accurate but a better combo rate and a better block rate. | |

Scimitar is a little different, the boost in speed is not the same, a little bit less accurate but a better combo rate and a better block rate. and higher damage and the knife can't be easily dodged, but easy blocked :mwé: btw: Scimitar > knife = broadsword | |

- and higher damage
I disagree with this. The knife damage is more affected by the strength stat. And damages # damages/hit. You're bound to come back more easily with a knife. Imo the scimitar is more defensive. The scimitar is as easily blocked as the knife. | |

| is true that is scimitar is easily blocked, but at damage it is much better and 2 hiths with scimitar take more damage than 4 with knife | |

| well from what i see with RicaRica http://labrute.muxxu.com/b/69966 i think that the knife is way better than the scimitar if we consider the damage + multi hits + multi attacks , but if i will have counter shield , as tama wrote about the scimitar being more defensive weapon , i would say that scimitar is better overall | |
