the answer is really siple m8
u play sb... thats hard mode....
what u need is a template where u have a swappable main hand weap that doesnt have +hits/hits cap/+con/con cap on it....
so basically design a template keeping in mind that u will get only 12 str from your main hand (so that u have capped str with all weaps u will use)...
then u can use all LW,battler and GS ... which ofc u will swap even during a fight for applying str/con debuff,dot,disease,speed debuff magical poison and more end usage magical poison... so that u MIGHT tip the odds on your side
ofc if u feel u can chain 1-2 peeps ... u will really need like 10 LW of different dmg type and GS, battler
Malice is the best off-hander atm for sb imo...uber proc,nice stats( and u dont lose the hits u gain from it when u swap) and uber /use2 that is on timer and u need
GL with the template design

Ok now here is the part when changing weapons during combat etc...

Slash 30
Other Bonuses

I know the Melee Combat Speed is slow but i mainly use LW when I have Red Haste.
When holding: Mighty Lithic Longsword and Malice Axe
Same stats as Pyroclasmic Longsword apart from resists and they are:
Body: 26
Cold: 20(5)
Heat: 24
Energy: 18
Matter: 21
Spirit: 32
Thrust: 23
Slash: 30
Stats with Battler and Malice to follow next

When i am buffed i have the following stats when holding
Battler/Malice...Heat/Malice...Cold/Malice...Matter/Malice
Strength: 379
Con: 317
Dex: 317

When using Goldenspear/Malice i have the following...
Strength: 379

So you can see When switching weapons i dont lose anything that will gimp the Shadowblade, only downfall is the ToA bonuses.
Hope this makes sense to people
