It's possible I'm missing something, but this sounds like shoddy reasoning; assuming that you encounter a mixture of piercing and elemental damage, why would mixed defenses be worse than full defense against only one? I would tend to think the opposite: mixed defenses will make your worst-case scenario less bad, which will usually improve your odds of survival (unless you already die in the ''average'' case). | It's possible I'm missing something, but this sounds like shoddy reasoning; assuming that you encounter a mixture of piercing and elemental damage, why would mixed defenses be worse than full defense against only one?

DISCLAIMER
I'M USING GUNSLINGER GUIDE AS A BASE TO KEEP CONSTANT STYLE AMONG GUIDES, NOT AS PLAGIARISM
To do list
To do: -Add some sword technique videos -Add more links to other Wiki pages -Write tactics against bosses
--Prizmat 17:38, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
Updated to include Sudaruska, Triglav and Spur. Hope you don't mind.

The Page Title
It really should be Swordsman instead of Sword-master. Usage is not equivalent to competency.--SpiralMike 17:46, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
- I agree, but Swordmaster just sounds so much better xD You may rename it if it is a significant difference --Prizmat 17:52, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
Revamp Start
I did a little revamping of the slow/medium sections including sections for every sword instead of the lines, and basing them off the highest * version for consistency. IMO both this and the gun guide need more revamping still, including videos/pics and such like the bomb guide has. It'll be hard to match the bomb guide in quality but it won't hurt to try. :P ~Katmint 21:55, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
