    Blade: Ku question

    Was a discussion about this WS earlier tonight, we know Jin is better, but just how exactlly does Ku work?

    Wiki says 10% STR + DEX, but I remember reading it picked a random stat to use as the modifier.

    Anyone done testing? Inquiring minds want to know!

    P.S: Cock Block Rocl

    Kirin's Osode is NIN priority because of Ku. \:D/

    Understandable, no one wants to fight a super hard crab. :wink:

    Oh and I'm pretty sure it's DEX and STR. I used to play around with it while farming and the damage was pretty consistant. If it was picking random mods, I would imagine it would have been all over the place. Sucks anyhow just because of the TP mod being accuracy.

    Ku always seems a lot more constant / better on weaker mobs. Completely different story on VT+.

    That's to be expected because Jin's TP modifier is crit rate, and critical hits greatly boost damage on monsters where you don't have near capped attack. Which is why it's not completely crazy to macro in some DEX gear for Blade Jin.

    same here, but ive been 75 NIN for about 18 months now. Ku doesnt do that much more than Ten to really warrant getting it. Besides 99.99999% of the time I use Jin.

    I though it was always 20% of any random attribute but what makes it so fucking weak is that it's accuracy and not critical hit.

    I always thought I should get it for those time a puk is pulled and you missed the split second on simultaneous WS that wont trigger detonation if you have WAR in party.

    Then they released Tandjana Islet...so there goes the only reason I'd use it for.

    Though it does looks somewhat cool, but I still have a fucking gun of trials on queue that I got from doing CoP last year...

    drop the gun and talk to cid to cancel the quest?

    Ku just has an incredibly weak modifier, and so the randomness of it sometimes hitting for WTFSTRONG numbers led people to say it had a random mod, same went for when asura used to be 30% STR or VIT. Because tests were so inconclusive people just belived it was true because the lolJPs said so on Gibli.

    Turns out the truth was the mods were just so low, macroing in base stat gear(or getting an etude) didn't have an effect that proved beyond margin of error what the mods were. What was really causing the Anomalys were crits.

    Also Ten Damage is about the same, and gives a lot less TP, I used to use Ten exclusivly when soloing hard mobs (~VT) in order to avoid tp moves.
