My GX is a katar crit/DD double attack build (I switch depending on what I'm fighting, katar crit on low-mid def/high flee mvps and DD on high def/non-agi-up mvps) and I normally use an Ice pick[AK] on my off-hand when I'm using DD. I've been wanting to use daggers more lately just because you know.......they're fun but I've been in a dilemma about when to use katar or daggers with the ice pick.
So my question is how does the ice pick really work in renewal? The iRO wiki says that it only adds damage based on hard def now and it also no longer pierces defence. What is a monster's hard def? Does it have anything to do with their vit? iRO DB lists def as A+B (which one is the hard def? lol) and divine-pride just lists def as one number (same with using sense, is that soft, hard, or total def?) and finally, what number of def is considered "high enough" for the ice pick to do good damage on?
I've been using katars wayyyy longer than daggers so I'm pretty clueless about this lol
