Spriggans with long blades?
Posted: Monday, 31st October 2016, 21:06
Many spriggans, and certainly almost every SpEn, the most common class for this race, pump stealth as the very first thing they do, leading to a natural predisposition towards short blades. But short blades are not really ideal for endgame or extended, so a swap is needed unless you go blaster mage route (which is generally not done with a -3 conjurations apt).
Long blades have Riposte in addition to endgame worthy stats (even with the smallest race) and considering Spriggan dodges like... everything, they're also riposting 50% of that amount. Add to that the fact that LB already has exp points from crosstraining. I'm getting the feeling that for late game, long blades are optimal for literally every single spriggan that doesn't find a ridiculous artifact of some sort and isn't playing a challenge game. I definitely recall swapping to a decent long blade even with a nominal amount of exp in the skill and just destroying hoards with Riposte. Thoughts?
