Whats more expensive in the long run?

Everyone said Dual Blades are ridiculously expensive to fund to deal a lot of damage, but against a perfected Risk Holder, Night Lord or Night Walker.

Which of the two classes are more expensive to fund?

[quote=AshleyAttacked]I was basing my info on having a really close friend who is funding one currently and from what he's told me it's more difficult for him than his NL was. Maybe you're right, I don't have direct personal experience with it, but yeah...[/quote]

The only reason it feels more difficult is because he has to remake his emblem, secondary, and badge. Other than that, because of jump attacks AND just as important, the elemental ignore, NWs have it easier by far.

@GlobalKorean Honestly the most bang for the buck right now is NW. As a bosser it far exceeds other thiefs in the amount funding (or lack there of) it takes to kill certian bosses. But you'd have to learn to jump attack. YouTube it, you have to chang keyboard settings usually.

@nitsua2789 @Klytta : at the moment my current gear is mostly 15% luk unique or legendary pots, with an above average dagger and katara. Should I stay as a DB or migrate as a NL/NW

@Traitor : other than the spider familiars ive been farming my use it pretty much empty (other than pots and the occasional pet food)

[quote=Klytta]@GlobalKorean @nitsua2789 DB hands down. I've switch to a NL and played a NW. NW out of the three can easily reach cap damage hits. Like the guy above me said, 15%luk gear will do it. NL is a good amount more difficult to fund than NW. However hitting max as a DB will easily force you to have top 1% gear. Especially weapons. And I'm talking about CRA cap damage lines. Not Dojo.

@AshleyAttacked NW is the easiest class to fund among the thief branch currently. Please don't speculate on thiefs if you do not know them. It gives people the wrong understanding and could lead to a person(s) wasting money on something due to bad information.[/quote]

DB's require a lot better gear to reach max damage than NW'[s or NL's do. That's why people say they need more funding, not because Daggers / Katara's are more expensive than Claws, but because an NW can cap with 15% luk items where as a DB would likely need 21%+.

[quote=GlobalKorean]@AshleyAttacked: idk, when i first decided to make a Dual Blade people were saying its completely based on how much you fund it after the level 140-150 mark.

thanks for the quick reply though[/quote]

Yeah, when DB's first came out there was a HUGE inflation of the prices for luk and dual blade related items. Tends to happen any and every time a new, over powered specifically luk-based class comes out. For some reason this doesn't happen with dex or str classes...and definitely not int. Int can be overpriced, tho, but thats primarily because it's super rare for someone to really make a godly item for a mage and even rarer for them to sell it.

I understand that you said that whatever class as the highest DPS is likely the most expensive to fund, however other than stars, secondary and the claw. Everything else is the same gear
Based on the weapons and the secondary are NW's still more expensive than DB's?

thanks for the quick reply though

Everyone says that? I don't remember saying that o.o

Anyways, it's prolly more expensive to fund an NW currently as it provides the highest DPS of the two. In general the most expensive class shifts along with whatever class currently has the highest dps potential.
