There's a difference between just being in the company of someone and dedicating time to them.
Not yet, megrisvernin. We need a bloody schedule to spend time with harem without forsaking our personal or our allies' development. (Can't wait to get Tireless Sentinel Technique)
you mean like we did just before we went to see Raiser... seriously /sigh
There was exactly one day between getting back from dealing with the Nura clan and heading off to meet with the Phenexs. He spent it getting yelled at by Sona, teaching Supernatural basics 101 to the ninja squad and punching a magic sword until it decided to be his friend.
Never said that getting DEX or IAM would make things a walk in the park. I said it would increase our survivality, and I'm correct in this.
Not enough screentime for us to be satisfied ^^;
We're not playing Diablo or D&D. We're trying to build a well rounded person that has more talents than 'punch it in the face' and interests in life other than beating people up and taking their stuff.
I understand that, but unfortunately, we are in a universe where kicking ass is mandatory. If we fail at it, we could die or worse, letting one of our protegees getting hurt. The problem is that the plot of DxD has an escalation of power faster than DBZ, that's no joke. And we don't have a Solar Circle to cover our weakness. We need kung fu to survive and enjoy life alongside our beloved.
Daiklave stats suck. Honestly. Even when compared to our fistcuffs.
Where are you looking, the Daiklive has decent stats, its only limited at the moment cause our martial arts skill is so high.
In Exalted you have to look at everything. Like we already have Charms for our fists, and we can engage in clinching, something that swords lack, and best of all, we can do all this from a distance because of Boosted Gear, something that a Daiklave will never match. And as evidence in Raise and Kurotabou fights, our phantasm clinching can't be damaged by normal means, this is broken!
Problem with this is that even then we can't use Fist of the Daystar charms with a Daiklave.
So? Changing our fighting style simple. Charms we can learn. Boosted Gear works with everything. So don't diss a weapon just cause we focused on fisticuffs due to not having another viable option at the time.
From the OP:
Bolded an underlined by me. By RAW, in combat, it's capabilities can only be used for hand strikes or clinches, not swordfighting.
Please note that I'm not disagreeing with you, I prefer martial arts to melee, but be careful of sunk cost fallacy.
