Back in the day's the spirit weapons were the equivalent of S and R grade weapons in comparison.. It had it's own artwork and animation with the attacks and was an ally in combat as you can use their awakening attack a handful of times before charging again. Remember this was when windmill was the most powerful mobbing skill at the time....spirit weapon awakening was the next skill that could help demolish a roomful of formor hoards.

It is going through a revamp as we speak. KR already stating they are trying to figure out how to rework the spirit weapons.

Even when spirit weapons were the strongest around, I don't remember seeing people do use awakening at all. I know I only ever used it to see what it looks like.

Ur missing one other reason. Unique dye schemes. Some weapons uniqueness can only be obtain via this method and abusing the transfer method. ^_^

I completely forgot about that.

It's a way to individualize the player character in game. As any given character can only have 1 spirit it becomes a choice to what you want to work with.

I agree with this, but it doesn't really feel like spirit weapons are needed for this. If you could only have one special upgraded weapon or one erg weapon for example, that would achieve the same thing.

On another note, I have no idea what BiS means.

Why not fusion with bare hands?

That's impossible and it's still a huge step down from just chaincasting fire or lightning.

Nothing because Gacha is not the same as loot boxes and the only people to blame is yourself if you buy gacha and you dont get something, that's not nexon's fault because you are not being promised something good. ALso doing Gacha is not gambling, if you are at the point were you can't control yourself, that's not nexon's fault.

I mean you can say all trading cards/blind bags are gambling and no one is whining over them.

A few things wrong with this post:

1. Gachapons and loot boxes are the same in everything but name alone.
2. In the most literal sense possible, gachapon is indeed gambling:

3. Plenty of people are indeed "whining" over this

4. The fact that people can choose not to make a purchase does not mean that providing that choice isn't potentially harmful, nor that nothing should be done about people taking that choice to their own detriment; hence why gambling laws, alcohol consumption laws, drug restrictions etc. exist.

All this isn't to say that Nexon must or will stop using gachapons, but it's recently become an issue that's hard to ignore. I believe the OP was trying to address this, but didn't do so very clearly.

If you're using a spirit weapon in the hope that it will be effective, then spirit cylinders are pretty much the only ones that aren't very directly outclassed by regular weapons and that's only for hydra/rain. For a cheap bow, you may as well get a cheap Black Dragon Knight bow instead of raising a spirit weapon.

If you want to hit harder as a warrior, then start by focusing on your warrior skills.

You seem to have left combat mastery and critical hit at low ranks. These are probably the two most important skills in the game in terms of damage and they're easy to rank up too.

Don't worry too much about skill CP, only 2 skills can ever actually directly contribute to your CP at any point int time. Stat CP is what really counts long term and that's most significantly affected by strength and HP. If you want to get noticeably stronger without affecting your CP, better equipment's the way to go, but I don't know how affordable that is for you right now.

Honestly though, not being able to take more than 3 hits from goblins isn't that bad at your level, and familiarising yourself with the game's mechanics will help you improve a lot faster than ranking life skills for stats.
