They just don't/refuse to understand our pains.

Tactically, having unpredictable dmg is GOOD. Got it now? Making someone die a horribly slow, painful death while a healer heals them back up every so often is not going to get you anywhere. Then again, you're Syrtis, so you wouldn't really need that.

So, I will explain you more precisely.

With my axe I'm sure I can do 1400 with SC5 = a bit less than 1/2 total hp of a mage. I'm sure I can kill it in one shot.
If he has a bit more than 1/2 total hp, I'll cast onsl(4) and will do 1650 damage at min.

So, if a mage has more than 1/2hp bar, I'll think before rushing. What with Satarco's sword ? (1150 at min with SC5)

Switch weapons.

Satarco's sword is still useful for something. The same cannot be said for other boss drops - which is all I'm trying to argue here. Generally, in a fort war, you'll be using it, switching weapons for situations like that, no different to switching to spear to catch runners, etc.

Uh?
This kind of situation happens everytime. Then I switched definitively to the axe.

COMPARED TO THE FACT THAT THE OTHER REAMS NON-EPIC BOSSES DROPS AREN'T EVEN WORTH 1 GOLD, SATARCO'S SWORD IS FANTASTIC.

WHILE IT MAY NOT BE MAKE YOU A "SUPER BARB" IT IS BETTER THAN A BROKEN RING AND A AMMU THAT AFFECTS 3 SPELLS.

FOR GOD'S SAKES READ OUR ARGUMENTS.

I have read them. Krontaron, Aysor and Satarco drop useless items.

OMG NO. People use it. People in Ignis/Alsius would use it. No one at all uses Kron/Aysor stuff. NO ONE.

They use it because they are like you.

Dude 1: wut wut wut!!!1
Dude 1: look at that my friend!
Dude 2: what?
Dude 1: 400+27+5str!!!11
Dude 1: woooot!!
Dude 2: ?
Dude 1: mine is bigger than yours!!! woooot!!
Dude 2: -_-"

They didn't even test it in the long run and are just blinded by its hypothetical max damage.

And because there is a very tiny group of people who cry and yell so loud that Satarco's sword is OP without really having tested it (mainly opposing realms). That now, a lot of people believes this sword is OP while it's not true.

[Minorian]

But in war, you often only get one hit in. In that case what does consistency matter? If you're in Syrtis odds are the zerg behind you will clean up whatever you didn't do, so in that kind of situation the max damage is great just for laughs.

By the way, next time you make such a thread, if you want it to be read by developers, I'd pick a title that covers the content.
