What surprised me the most when i get to 3rd job DW

so i got to 3rd job today! anyways i put 1 SP into soul driver as i am supposed to at lvl 70. then i looked at the guide and it said to get soul driver to a certain level. then it said put my SP into brandish? i was like waaah? then i checked on maple myself and brandish was there lol. i thought brandish was only available to crusaders at 3rd job and that dawn warriors needed to wait until lvl 100 to get it. i dont know what the main point of the thread is, just basically SHOCKED

btw, do we also get intrepid slash at a later level? like how we got brandish at level 100 before BB?

The reason people use Brandish is for the attack speed you can do maybe 3 or 4 of that before someone else is done with just one Soul Driver. And yes, you will be fighting mobs, but unless you lure them, Brandish will make training faster.

PS: Most of the time, your mobs will be in 2's and 3's.

[quote=SwitcherUpper]@yomamma1134: I don't know. My friend was talking to another alliance member with a DW about not really needing brandish with soul driver being so strong, and that he did the quest for brandish when he already had it. I have a WA, so I couldn't really answer any more than that.[/quote]
well it is pretty true, soul driver does 250% damage per hit. while brandish does 240% dmg per hit. so 250x4=1000% and 240x2=480% lol. but at the same time, soul driver does take quite a while to hit, but brandish is a better 1v1 attack because it attacks faster. with 2 or 3 brandish attacks you can do only 1 soul driver attack. anyways thanks trying to help!

[quote=SwitcherUpper]My friend who has a dawn warrior said you don't even need brandish really, with soul driver. And you can do the quest to "get" brandish still even though it is already there.[/quote]

lol really? do we also get intrepid slash at a later lvl? like as if we would get advanced combo at a later level?
