ok as known as always a joyeuse has an effect of double attack, Very nice for rdms who wish to fight those big monsters or for soloing, overall Joyeuse+ RDM= good!. For paladins thats a different story, think about it. out of a paladins whole tmie of exp ptying at lvl 70+ in sorts of places fighting Very Tough and up- the damage is mainly around 2-7k in a total average ratio, depending on ur race, wars do over 40k, and drks/mnks do well over 60k, and also nins are 25k+ on the damage ratio from lvl 70+. so basically this means paladins are missing more then attacking, and they also are hitting monsters for less dmg then most of the other tanks. sooooo that means joyeuse would probably not work most of the time since double attack only works when you actually HIT the monster, the miss ratio on pld is well over 72% on IT monsters. Joyeuse works if you hit the monster with a 10-20% chance, so do you think its worth it for a pld to buy this?...i dont think so.
if your a paladin and if you dont want to be a gimp i suggest you get a Company Sword, might not look like much from face value. but it also has a hidden effect. if there is 1 person in
your party, that counts as 2 more dmg points, so a total party of 6 including you is 10 dmg points, and a full alliance is 34 dmg points. so regardless if you hit the monster or not it will still count, and everyone knows that damage gains hate. so overall PLD+ Joyeuse= Bad!.
