Can we all just appreciate that we actually got an explanation for why an odachi was more dangerous than a talwar

[@coriusfarinprimarchofthese7007]

Not necessarily more dangerous, just requires a different strategy. Since he was expecting a talwar, his strategy wouldn't work.

[@wikus2411]

I always crack up at the "odachi are mostly used for dick measuring"

[@wyveriusblackfire3834]

I don't know about the original manga or LN, but in the progressive manga, it was explained that the odachi allowed Illfang to use katana skills, which weren't encountered in the beta until floor 10. And since Diavel was a beta tester himself, he assumed he knew everything he needed to about Illfang and was cut off guard by the change.

[@ouroborosmaelstrom3059]

Also, Odachi is a Japanese sword, unlike a Talwar. During the creation of SAO many 'experts' were brought in to demonstrate their sword skills which were then copied by Cardinal. Obviously the Japanese Sword Skills were more fleshed out since the creator of the game was Japanese, and because Japanese still cares about their sword culture unlike other countries who have moved forward to Guns and Nukes and shit.

I mean, sometimes the ants swarming at the feet of the boss need to be kept alive. Healers perform that necessary function. Also they get yelled at for not healing. When they are healing.

[@timeshark8727]

@@Will-mk5pj Once upon a time, I was one of the top sage healers in SWTOR... there were several guilds that organized raids who would actively seek me out, either for the harder raids or to keep their new tanks alive while they were learning in easier raids. etc... meanwhile, in virtually every PUG I joined there was either a tank that couldn't or a DPS who wanted to pull, or people who stood around in flashing red circles wondering why their health was going down so fast, and every time, all I'd hear from them was "our healer sucks" or "learn to heal scrub" etc. Come to think of it, far too few people died in the first months of SAO. If the people there played like the average person at least 50% of them should have died the first time they encountered an area or mini boss type monster. Heathcliff's rant at the final battle struck a chord with me... _"Do you even realize how many of you have died yelling _*_LEROY JENKINS!?_*_ its a lot."_
