    1h Relic/Mythic Question

    Ok well, im not sure how to fraise this or wear it goes, but would Mandau/Vajra work? i know i wouldnt get the Aftermath on Vajra being in offhand, but i was wondering if the other stats on Relic's/Mythics work in offhand as well as in mainhand

    like getting Enhanced Sneak attack and Enhanced Trick attack, im getting close to starting Duties task's and deeds and i might get help on the Alexandrite part, if i finish evrything else. but mandau is still the top dog, and im currently saving gil and buying currency for that as well

    i'm not asking if the mythic is worth the time/effort, just wondering if the enhancements would work offhand

    i heard that nothing on a 1h relic carries over to offhand, not just the WS, is that true? i think i just need this disproven, like someone with excal still getting the +20 att and add effect when its in offhand

    The only thing that remains on a Mythic or Relic weapon whilst being in the offhand are the damage rating and delay.

    From assumptions I've been reading, Vajra/X's would be tits since Mandau/Vajra won't work like we all hope it would. However, it's still uncertain what the enhanced SA/TA do, as all it could be just added hate (lol, I honestly see SE doing this ><).

    go DIAF, now. If you don't want an X's Knife because it's too common, then I hope you honestly never get one. People go 0/52 on that damn BCNM because they want it for it's power.

    Lol, nvm, you'll go 1/1 on it most likely, so DIAF again.

    Though I don't really know from first hand experience, since I can never get X's Knife to drop in the BC, or I get outlotted by people who didn't even want it til it dropped... I'm with Jutu in the DIAF group.

    Offhand, Mandau will still give you 20 attack, though, using any other dagger main hand isn't going to help your WS damage rating. Other than that I don't really have anything to contribute that hasn't already been said.

    Imo, unless Vajra is like 50% increase damage enhancements, I'd never even bother lol. That's just me though.

    I'd take him for granite, when he says he can't fraise it.

    So it doesn't. I guess I never bothered to look at it to see if it did and just assumed it did. (Not that I ever offhanded Mandau o-o) but I guess I assumed since Blau Dolch gives the attack bonus in offhand, so would Mandau. lol Guess latents are a different story than just flat out +20 att. lol.

    My bad! :3

    Any non-relic 1H weapon with +20 att will give it in offhand, it's just that SE wants to punish you for offhanding your relic.

    i think the main reason for this is to prevent every 1Her SJ NIN and play 2 relic+mythic

    they want people to try more SJ variation yo
