DVS vs. WHB

Hey Bopp, I realized in your comparison of WHB and DVS is unfair. WHB's charge is actually practical against trojans and slow things. It is the ONLY practical cutter line charge. Sederts 21:23, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

explain to me the difference between the WHB and DVS charge--Trying 21:49, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your interest in improving my guide. I'd also like to know the difference in the charge attacks, if there is one. DVS fans tell me exactly the same thing --- that the charge is actually practical against trojans and slow monsters. Jdavis 23:04, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

The whb is five quick slashes. DVS is a long 10+ hits. Sederts 21:45, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Aren't they both just five quick strokes, each landing twice on the monster, for a total of 10 damage numbers? Jdavis 22:19, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

I'll post a link to a video: [[1]] What you described above is the normal combo, NOT the charge. The DVS charge takes forever and is ungainly, while WHB's charge can be quick and effective. Sederts 23:50, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

WHoops wrong video D: Here's the right one [[2]]

So can you explain how the damage table at Wild Hunting Blade works? Because it looks identical to DVS' damage table (for non-beasts at least). Isn't it the case that the WHB charge does Charge+Low, Charge+Low, Charge+Low, Charge+Low, Charge+Low? That's what DVS does, I think. And let me reiterate: If I have a major misconception here, then I appreciate your clearing it up. I don't like being ignorant. I've used DVS, but never WHB. Jdavis 00:27, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

The WHB charge doesn't have low inserted in between. Watch video 2.

Around 1:20, when the charge is being used against gun puppies in FSC depth 24, you can very clearly see the low numbers popping up. Later, against the trojans, you can see them popping up again. So far, this is just further evidence that the charge is identical to DVS'. Jdavis 13:46, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
