I ask some veterans on IRO and some way somehow all of them said that I shouldn't waste my zeny on +13 RTE EA6 instead I should be getting Robot Arm. I take a look at the base damage on both weapon 195 for Robot Arm and 160+50 from sword mastery so that's 210 atk + 3 slots + 12% range attack (Gene). I kept looking at the description and try to compare both weapons. No matter how I look at it, the math just doesn't add up. Is there something I don't see in robot arm description or am I missing something here?

1. They are probably trying to sell it to you

2. Robo Arm is a mace, does full dmg to Big/Medium, as compared to RTE

3. Robo Arm doesnt break from pyro

4. RTE should do higher damage for most situations (even large mvps)

Don't forget Mastery Attack is almost pointless, it isn't touched by multipliers so you may as well just ignore it's existence.

I'm buying +13 Twin Edge EA6, what do you think should I cancel this? May I have your opinion between these two weapons? Should I get Robot Arm instead?

For gene, RTE is definitely much stronger right now in terms of damage. The only way for Robot's arm to contest is if the update to Charleston crisis comes over later on, which allows for 2 random enchants on the robot arm (almost like vicious weapons).

The difference between a +13 and a +9 is pretty god damn minimal, so if you were to invest I would just say try a +9. I don't main a Gene personally, but from what I understand most end game Genes prefer a Robot's Arm over a lot of other items.

Blunt >>>>>>>>>>>> Edge

 

I'll never use a Sword in a Gene. Not worth. Get a mace. Maces are life. No breakage never. RTE are overrated anyways. Embrace the blunt.
